How to Lose 30 Pounds (Or More) In 30 Days With Juice Fasting: How To Lose Weight Fast, Keep it Off & Renew The Mind, Body & Spirit Through Fasting, Smart Eating & Practical Spirituality
The discipline of juice fasting helped me to overcome more than 20 years  of obesity and binge eating. During the late 1990s I did 30, 40, 60 and  90-day juice fasts which helped me to lose in excess of100 pounds, reducing my waist from size 46 to 32(I had never been that thin before. The contrast was nothing less than dramatic).  In addition to the rapid and impressive weight loss, the high consumption of nutrient-rich veggie and fruit combinations caused my frail body to detoxify, rejuvenate and heal.At the time I suffered from arthritic pain in my wrists and fingers, as well as aFatty Livercondition that, doctors told me, was on its way to becomingcirrhosis.  Juice fasting purged my bloodstream and digestive system of all of the garbage I had been eating for so many years; it gave me a new lease on life. People often ask me: "How did you do it? Fasting can be very tough!"Here's my answer:I reached my quota of debasement, filth, lies and self-destruction.One day I woke up (or came to)  from an all-night pizza and beer debauchery and found myself on the floor surrounded by trash, vomit and urine. My clothes were completely soiled, and the stench was repulsive. At that moment, I saw the sad truth of what I had become: a wild dog, a devourer; all animal instinct,  zero humanity or dignity. The scene was so disgusting and pathetic that  it made me angry...REALLYangry. I suddenly became willing to to dowhatever it tookto get well; I no longer cared about hunger pangs, detox symptoms and physical discomfort. I dove into the process with the understanding thatno matter what, no matter what, no matter what, I was notEVERgoing to stop until I reached my goal. Even if my butt fell off, I wasNOTgoing to break the juice fast or succumb to the belly's demands. And  so I did, and, today, more than ten years later, I have not gained the weight back or relapsed into binging. I live a life of health and freedom by following a structured (and very healthy) eating plan.  It is  that very message of'getting angry'and 'doing whatever it takes'which inspired me to write this book. Every day, as I was typing, I tried to visualize my humble words reaching someone who was struggling or maybe had lost all hope.  Sitting in front of the computer, I transported myself ten years into the past and outlined, step-by-step, everything that I did to turn my life around; this with the hope that my  message may at the very least touch one person. That at least a few may  experience the transformation for themselves. Indeed, today I myself can attest that fasting is, by far, the most powerful healing and weight  loss instrument on the face of the earth.  And my bitter experience can  be used to help, encourage and motivate others.
