Day 27 - Are There Really Energy Drink Dangers?

Hi, Tim here with my Day 27 update.

Yes, I'm still going with my juice fast. Getting up close to the halfway mark. Tomorrow is going to mark the halfway mark of my juice plan.

I have lost, since yesterday, 0.4 kg, which is about .9 of a pound, just about 1 pound. Overall my weight loss is now 12.7 kilograms, which is pretty close to 28 pounds.

So, still feeling good, still feeling fantastic, still feeling in control. I had a couple of thoughts today.


Firstly, the word juice fast. 'Fast', to me conjures up a negative sort of vibe. I saw someone used the word 'feast'. I thought that was a good idea. Any other ideas? I'm open to any other ideas to call it. Because it seems such a negative thing to say that you are on a fast, because traditionally that means you're 'going without'. Whereas I think what we're doing is actually giving your body the nutrients it needs. So I'm going to have a think and see if I can come up with a better phrase, and see if we can get that phrase out there and being used in everyday life.

Day 26 - Are Low Carb Fruits The Key?

Hi, Tim here with my Day 26 update.

For those who haven't seen previous videos, I am releasing a video every day of my juice fast. I am attempting to lose a total of 32 kilograms, which is around 70 pounds, in a 56 day juice fast. So today is Day 26, and my 26th video about the whole process. So feel free to look at my other videos and go back and see how I went on a particular day.


The reason that I'm doing this very day - a couple of reasons I guess. Reason #1 is for self motivation. I am pushing myself by getting myself out there in the public spectrum. I'm to a large degree forcing myself to stay on it, even though I'm not really finding it a hard thing to do. But early on I thought it was important to make sure I wasn't going to give up after a few days. Being out there, people are hopefully more inclined to be watching what I'm doing and hopefully encouraging me, and that certainly works so far. I am getting more and more people following what I am doing, leaving comments. And look, those comments are inspiring me as well. So please do click that Like button and leave some comments. It helps me on my journey, and hopefully other people down the track who are watching these videos, they can look at the videos or read the comments, and they are actually going to be enthused by this process as well.

Day 25 Of My Juice Fast And An Eat To Live Discussion

Howdy, Tim here with my Day 25 update.

Juice fasting is still going quite well. I lost .2 of a kilogram since yesterday, which is around about half a pound, give or take. That brings my total weight loss now to 12.1 kilos, which is about 26 and 3/4 pounds.

So everything is still on track, and I haven't got a lot to report. This video is quite late today. It's actually 3:30pm in the afternoon. It was quite a busy day. Haven't had a chance to do too much in the way of preparation for this video, so I'm really just putting it out there as is. It's more to let you know that I'm still on track and still doing well.


A couple of regular followers on my videos commented on a book, Eat to Live. I think that's probably going to be a good book to look at. So I'm going to order that from Amazon. I'm going to put a link in the video notes. If you're interested to go to Amazon and check it out.

Hello, Tim here with my Day 24 update on my juice fast. For those not following along, I have been doing this now, for, this is Day 24. I have been surviving on a diet of juice only, vegetable juice and fruit juice. I have been doing that now, as I said, this is Day 24.

So I am pretty happy, becuse my original goal was to lose 32 kilos in the 56 days, which is about 70 pounds. So another 8 and 3/4 pounds and I'm going to be halfway. So I am feeling pretty fantastic overall about the progress I'm making.

Hi all, Tim here, with my Day 23 update.

My juice fast, for those of you are just coming to this video the first time, I have just been doing this for now 23 days, and every day I have put a video up on YouTube, letting you know how much weight I have lost, how I am feeling, and what I have learnt along the way.

So I have lost another .2 of a kilo, which is around about half a pound. It is around about half a pound, so over all I have now lost 11.2 kg, which is about 24 3/4 pounds and nearly 25 pounds in 22 days because this is the start of Day 23.

So, you can, things are still going well.I have still got no real feelings that I need to eat badly. I'm not finding it hard more and more, probably in the last week or so, I have been putting more vegetables in.

Day 22 - Liquid Diet Recipe Tips - What I Use

Hi, Tim here with my Day 22 juice fasting update.

Things are still going quite well, I lost another 0.4 kilograms, same as yesterday, which is nearly 1 pound. Overall I have now lost 11 kg, which is about 24.25 pounds so far.

So, feeling good. Today marks the third week, so I have actually completed now three complete weeks, 21 days of the juice fast. And I am still feeling fantastic, I have to say. The energy levels are still rising, I am feeling in control, I am not suffering from addictions or anything of that nature anymore, you know, I am not thinking I need to eat bad foods, and I am getting quite used to it. And I am gradually adding more vegetables. That's really the key that I'm finding now to this weight loss. It's getting a bit more stable, the amount I'm losing every day. I am adding vegetables, adding them to all my juices now, certainly more in the lunch –

... [ the phone rings ] ...


And don't you don't just love that, in the middle of a recording, phone goes off. So sorry about that interruption but rather than start again, I've decided to continue on.

Day 21 - Vegetable Cleanse Can Be Damn Expensive

Hi, Tim here with my Day 21 Update.

Yes, can you believe it! I have been doing this for nearly three weeks. By the end of today I will have been on this juice fast for three weeks, and I am still going strong.

0.4 kg weight loss since last time, which is just under a pound, about .9 of a pound. Overall that is 10.6 kilograms, or 23.5 pounds, or thereabouts, that I have lost since I started.


So everything is on track. Still feeling fantastic. The vegetable cleanse is doing quite well. And I am still experimenting, trying to find the healthiest juices. Overall I think I'm succeeding. I'm actually getting into celery now. And this is something that I got a comment on a video from someone who's just starting out, I believe, and having trouble finding juices they like. What I can say there is hang in, hang in there, because it actually gets a lot easier. What I'm finding is some of the juices that I'm sure when I first started this juice fast that I would not have liked, I am getting used to.
