Alright, so I think it's finally time for me to get this train back on the track. For a few of you that have known me for a long time, you have known I've been largely absent for the last year. Most of that can be attributed to a string of injuries that didn't want to get better. First I re-injured both my labrum and my UCL and a few weeks later was in a car accident. Luckily I had no broken bones in the car accident or internal damage, but the pain was still bad as I incurred a sciatic nerve injury and a hip flexor issue. Let me tell you, I forgot about the hip flexor and the arm issues when dealing with the sciatic nerve thing. I do not wish that on anyone.
Anyways, during this recovery I have become very defeated mentally and stopped going to the gym (because I couldn't) and took my frustrations out with a fork, gaining about 50 lbs of bad weight. I used to be 265 lbs around 12-14% BF and then cut to 225 and was very lean and happy by the time I got married. Needless to say this whole thing has been a humbling experience and now that I am expecting a baby girl in August, I want to be a healthy dad and set a good example for her. With that being said....
How many of you have ever done a juice cleanse of sorts? I have decided to go for it for sure but don't really know where to start. I have juiced before but never done a cleanse. I'm wondering if 3 days of pure juice is enough or if I should go longer. I don't want to hate myself any longer than I have to
Also, a few "juicing" chains around me (as well as online retailers), namely Nektar, offer juice cleanse packages from 1-7 days. I'm sure going this route is a lot more expensive than buying your own, but it sure would save some time. Has anyone ever tried juicing a whole week's worth of drinks in one day? Is it still fresh after a few days? Any of you that have experience on this are welcome to chime in. Never thought I would ever be posting a thread like this but father time catches up with us all... sometimes a lot earlier than expected!
