Fasting

[subaqua]

You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink.





(But it's relatively easy to get a horse to eat oats!)

reminds me of a joke about something -" Like a horse eating oats " was the punchline think it was a filthy joke too.

@colinj I got a juicer yesterday and did my first juicing this morning, it was very green but surprisingly nice to drink

I used this recipe -> CLICK ME from Jason Vales website

Looks tasty, but blimey - 6 apples! I suppose if you think of it as a meal rather than a drink, it isn't quite so much of a shock.

Hmmm - that site gives 8% commissions on sales!

(Why has the @phil_hg_uk thing stopped working? At least - it has for me.)

Incidentally - the 'Hungry for Change' video seems to have been removed. Looks like the makers are clamping down on breach of copyright. It is available on DVD from Jason Vale's site though.

Just halve the amount I got 2.5 big glasses of juice out of that this morning.

I was going to buy this book earlier in the week:

but when I bought my juicer it has this book free with it so I am glad I didnt buy it.

I must admit I was very suprised at the amount of juice the juicer got out of the apples.

Dont know why the @colinj isnt working I think sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt.

@ColinJ needs a capital c and j. Does that work?

It has just been pointed out to me that I actually have a liquidiser/blender, not a juicer so, I will get the roughage from the fruit and veg in my drinks. I can see why some people wouldn't like that, but I would have thought that would be healthier for you?

I used it to blend my home-made leek, carrot and potato soup last week and was very pleased with the results.

@Speicher, @speicher, @sPEICHER, @SPEICHER - nope!

 

[chqshaitan]

just weighed myself and lost around half a stone..

@Speicher, @speicher, @sPEICHER, @SPEICHER - nope!

I have to be on-line to hear you shouting at me when you call my name!
The alertee receives the alert when they are next on line, I think.

I have a smoothie maker which is the same as a blender but with a tap, if you made the drink I made this morning in the blender you would get quite different results I was very pleasantly suprised how good the juicer was.

I just made a tall glass of orange juice and it took 4 oranges and I can tell you it tastes totally different to any orange juice I have ever bought that comes pre-packed.

problem with porridge on diet days is that a 200cal portion (incl milk) is tiny!

That's why you use water instead for a normal portion only costing 110 cals!

It's hard for me to know how I would cope with the fasting days when active because I am doing very little at the moment due to illness. All being well, I'll get back on my bike in a month or two and then I will find out!

I took ill on Tuesday night / Weds morning but still continued with my fast day as I didnt feel like eating anyway. The feeling sick turned into fallthrough and today I am on the road to recovery I hope. So with the two fast days and an illness under my belt, weigh in day should be interesting.

I was going to buy this book earlier in the week:

but when I bought my juicer it has this book free with it so I am glad I didnt buy it.

I have a juicer too, I tried a few of his suggestions on the web-site. I liked the lemonade one and a spinach based one. Any other suggestions from the book?
