[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I did a 5 day smoothie/juice fast to jump start my diet.  Lost 7 pounds, as well as my cravings. and it motivated me to stay on track to lose the remaining 8 pounds.  Smoothies/juice must be made with raw foods - mainly vegetables - no dairy.  Google it and you will get ideas.  No need for a fancy juicer.  I just used our regular blender.  I did steam carrots for two minutes to soften them a bit for the blender.  So technically, they were not raw.  I still drank a cup of coffee each morning even though they say not to.[/quote]

I've done this as well, but I have the fancy vitamix.  That is the very best investment I ever made and it awesome for raw juicing.  The end product is so smooth. I put the WHOLE fruit/veggie in, including apples, core and all.

I still use my Vitamix smoothies as a meal replacement.  If I replace dinner with a smoothie, I can easily drop 3lbs in a week after some time eating poorly.

I'm like the OP, I LOVE food and drink. However, i hate being overweight more than I love food and drink. I'f rather eat my calories, so I have basically given up all drinks except skim milk and water.[/quote]
