When I think about what I used to weigh, as compared to what I weigh now, I get depressed. I was always the “skinny” girl through High School. I ran track and played soccer. I modeled for a large cosmetic’s company. I was proud of the way I looked and never even considered that one day I would be overweight. I was, after all, the girl who made fun of overweight people in my school days. Well, fast forward to a few years after High School. My thyroid gland shut completely down and I went from 110 pounds to over 200 pounds within a 3 month time frame. I wasn’t eating differently, and I was running every morning and every night, yet the weight piled on. I was placed on synthetic thyroid supplements to help. However, just a couple months later as I was beginning to lose some of the weight finally, I got pregnant, and the weight just piled on more and more. I now have two more children and enough weight to feed a tribe of cannibals for a week or so. I have become desperate in my never-ending search for ways to lose this extra and most unwanted weight, yet up until now, I have been very unsuccessful with figuring out what to do. I came across this book, Juicing For Weight Loss, a month or so ago and I decided to read it, as I tend to read any book I can get my hands on that discusses weight loss. I already love fruits and vegetables, so I figured I would give juicing a try. I went over some of the recipes in the book and found a few that I wanted to try, and I can honestly say that after trying them, I simply cannot even imagine ever buying pre-made juice at the grocery store again. The recipes in the book taste amazing when you try them at home. I have lost close to twelve pounds in a month and I have so much more energy now that I can actually get outside and play with my kids instead of just watching them from a chair. My kids even love the juices and ask me to try different types of juice as well. I recommend this book to anyone. Not just people who want to lose some weight, but also for people to just feel healthier and more energized and have something great to drink besides store bought pre-made juices or sodas. This book could be a life saver for someone. I know it has been for me!
