If you have Netflix there is a show called Fat Sick and Nearly Dead. That is what started us on the juicing. I have lost 20lbs since the end of January. We have been lazy though lately and need to watch it again to get our motivation back. I started adding smoothies to my plan just to give me something that was quicker to make for lunches. So usually I juice the night before for my breakfast and then make a smoothie for lunch and then cook a balanced meal for supper. We tried cutting down on carbs because we seem to consume a great deal of them. I added more fruits and vegies to our diet (we barely ate vegies)! I have PCOS and don't get my period at all. Since January I have had it 2 times! Now if only the easter candy wasn't in the house because my willpower for chocolate is zero!
So glad to hear that the juicing and smoothies have helped with your PCOS. That's fantastic news!
