Day 30 of My Juice Fast or Feast as some call it

June 12, 2011 By Billy Leave a Comment

Day 30 of My Juice Fast or Feast as some call it

Today June 12th 2011 is the 30th day of my juice fast. I am very proud to have gotten this far in fact I am amazed and if it was not for some deep inspiration by the following people I would not have even tried this or thought about it so Here is my list of people I want to thank and then my thoughts on where I am at and where I am going

Thanks to. this long journey first started in Sept. 2008 \
BIG Bill- A long time friend of mine who told me about Dr. Fuhrman’s book in August 2008 casually as He was following the diet plan and was loving it He was at the time 6 foot 7 about 450 lbs around 51 yrs old
Dr. Joel Fuhrman – I owe you everything for getting me on this journey in September 2008
Walt Disney World – Sept, 2008 – for showing my how out of shape I was and how much I need to make radical change. and falling face first in a rush with my sneakers untied was a real eye opener that night, when I landed I though i was just going to lay there and wait for an ambulance and 6 strong guys to left me off the cement
World Wide recession Sept 2008 – For it allowed me to see that well, I would not make a living for a few years so at least I should get healthy, You can’t buy your health
Susan at Dr. Fuhrmans office for calling me and asking me to come visit Dr, Fuhrman and be a patient as they were looking to follow someone of my age and huge weight long-term! and sending me article about Scott
elijah.lynn at Dr. Fhurman’s office one of the nicest and most down to earth person I have ever met
Scott Cutshall – For inspiring me with his story of huge weight loss and as I guy of similar age and size and from JERSEY He showed me it could be done and that this was not the latest quack diet and this was for real his tory will be a movie one day.

Clent Manich – The Costco employee lost over 200 pounds by going on a raw food diet using a vitamix
Travis - A member of Dr. Fuhrmans member forum who laid out the path out for me and tohers He had no idea I would read it all and I read all his forum posts in one night@ HOURS of reading and getting inspired.. like a guardian angel keeping and posting a diary of his daily weight loss and trials and tribulations, over coming obstacles of being away from home and still eating correctly

all the members of Dr. Fuhrmans Members center – Your compassion, time and cheer leading is something I will always be thankful for, you all know who you are thanks

My wife June – for making me many meals and helping stick to the plan the first year you made it easy. This is much easier with her on board ..I need to get her back on board note to self!

My Mom – They always believe in you

My son Billy – Dad you can do this I am going to help you. He is everything to me

so with the above team I was able to lose about 85 lbs in 6 months time

2010 – A year of coasting and enjoying my weight loss even though I still need to lose much more I was pretty happy

2011 - the year to finish the job as Dr. Fuhrman had told me, you only get one set of knees and these knees will not take your 345 lbs frame don’t be happy with your weight loss, what are you doing there are no excuses continue..

2011

Fat Sick & Nearly Dead by Joe Cross - Wow is this movie inspirational, you have to watch it and re watch it …this is your life you only get one, there are no do -overs here Thanks Joe Cross, Phil the trucker you are a true inspiration when I saw you at the end of the movie yes I cried ..you have to watch this movie by yourself and then watch it with your support team who ever they are they need to be on board with you

The Youtube crowd 2011

The Life Regenerator – Dan..Dude you are a mix of Cali wisdom, if you could take your energy and female audience with Dr. Fuhrmans knowledge wow would that be something interesting videos and introduced me to a host of other inspiring youtube people

Dan the raw food trucker – inspiring story of weight loss follow him as He continues each week

Bill, Raw food for my life – Bill yours is an inspiring story hope you consider following Dr Fuhrman He is the guiding light for us.

Growing your greens and discount juicers dot com – This guy should have a show on Oprah his passion is unmatched

My fans on youtube who watch my videos on juice fasting and my journey and leave such nice notes and private messages you comments and suggestion are very thought-provoking

So as I write this and I was not planning on this being so long .. I feel I am not ready to give up this juice fast i am going to go 30 more days … (when I first started to write this 20 mins ago) I thought I would switch to Dr. Fuhrmans 6 week aggressive Vegan weight loss plan.. but until I get rid of this heel pain morning plantar fasciitis. I think my best course of action is to continue the very calorie restrictive juice diet for another 30 days. I know I can do it and unless Dr. Fuhrman tells me no I will continue.. I will get blood work this week..note to self

What have I learned being on a 30 day Juice Fast ?

I really am capable of doing anything I put my mind to.
Eating this way is refreshing and simple and leaves me with a very structored diet something I need.
I have great energy in the morning but do fade in the evening, so I go to bed early and get up early at 5 or 6am
Your friends think your nuts and they dont believe that you are really sticking to it
Drinking any alcohol while on this diet is not good as you will stop the weight loss entirely for that weekend of dieting and having just a few cocktails with friends.. you cant drink alcohol while on a juice fast! I know i tried!
you can lose 40-50 pounds of weight per month following a juice diet
I believe a juicer with more pulp leads to more weight loss than a juicier with a very fine screen , that is what my 30 day chart shows, my coarse juicer screen broke in the Omega Vert 330 so I had to use my Breville centrifugal juicer with a fine screen, weight loss was less in the 12 days with the Breville, I should have the part Monday June 13th 2011, as its covered under warranty by Omega for 7 years

Thats all for now .. I will add to this later today as I reflect on my 30 days ..maybe I will have my wife edit this as she has a Masters from Harvard and I hate writing

Tuscan Kale Salad

December 17, 2010 By Billy Leave a Comment

tuscan kale

Just got some great Organic Tuscan Kale or Black Kale as some people call it at Delicious Orchards in Colts Neck Nj , the Kale came from Lady Moon Farms in PA & Fl

Tuscan Kale Salad
Tuscan kale is sweeter and more tender than regular kale. Tuscan kale also goes by the names black kale, lacinato kale, dinosaur kale and cavolo nero. Unlike lettuce, kale is a hearty green that does not wilt after dressing is added. The salad actually tastes better after a day or two in the fridge. So, it is a great salad that you can prepare in advance for a party.

Hugh, June and Frank made this Tuscan Kale Salad as the side dish to accompany the pizzas. This recipe serves 4.

Ingredients

1 bunch Tuscan kale
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
3 tablespoons Sunflower oil
1 clove garlic

freshly ground black pepper
Notes:

For a richer salad, add 1/4 cup grated pecorino or parmesan cheese.

If Tuscan kale is not available, do not substitute with regular kale, which will be too chewy. Instead, use 3 cups of arugula and 3 cups of baby spinach. Be sure to use cheese if you try this combination.

Instructions

Wash and dry kale thoroughly, and strip the center rib from each leaf. To slice the kale, place 3 or 4 leaves in a stack and roll tightly, as if rolling a cigar. Slice the roll crosswise into paper-thin strips and place in a large bowl.
Lightly smash the garlic clove to release its juices, then skewer the garlic onto the end of a fork. Use this fork to whisk the oil and vinegar together, then discard the garlic. This gives the salad a light, but not overpowering, garlic flavour.
Toss the salad with the dressing, salt and 10 grinds of pepper until leaves are evenly coated.
Hugh, June and Frank, thank you for making this Tuscan Kale Salad for the South Arm Cooking Club for s

Fat Sick and Nearly dead a movie by Joe Cross

December 11, 2010 By Billy 2 Comments

Fat, sick, and nearly dead. That was the condition Joe Cross lived in until he decided to take charge of his health and his life. Joe, a successful businessman from Australia, vowed to leave behind his junk food diet and only drink fresh fruit and vegetable juice for 60 days as he traveled across the United States with a juicer in the back of his car. He hired a film crew to document his pilgrimage to health, so he must have known it was going to be quite a journey. He couldn’t have anticipated, however, the monumental effect it would have on his life or on others.

Six months later, and 90 pounds lighter, Joe was eating cleanly, thinking clearly, enjoying incredible health, and on a mission to help as many people as possible. What started off being about a juice fast, ended up being about maintaining a balanced lifestyle. Joe has big plans for the U.S., Australia, and Britain…getting everyone access to juicers and information to help them get healthy and choose life.

Fat Sick and Nearly dead a movie by Joe Cross
I loved this movie, it is a great movie, well done Dr.Fuhrman is a rock star in the documentary. Joe Cross does an amazing job bringing juicing and getting healthy to an amazing story you will love this movie, get it now while you can click this link
