Day 2 of my James Vale, Juice Master 3 Day Detox – MAN DOWN!

It’s all gone pear-shaped…(do you see what I did there!?!)

My juicer has DIED! Well, it hasn’t exactly died but everything it produces tastes like burning plastic, the juicer itself smells like burning plastic and I’m not a huge fan of the smoked effect it’s started giving my kitchen.

This sounds like possibly the best excuse ever for flaking out of my juice diet but I am not making this up, not even a tiny bit. I’m now drowning in fruit and veg that don’t usually go together to make a meal. Hmm…

The advice from today, friends is not to buy a Phillips juicer. Hidden among all of the amazing reviews are lots of reviews that talk about the juicers going up in smoke after a few uses. Amazon have even stopped shipping my model because it is defective.

I’ve ordered a new juicer and it looks like I’m going to have to shelve this diet until it arrives next week. Yes, next week. I even ordered silver (yuk) instead of red (love) to expedite the recommencement of the juice detox. THAT’S HOW DEDICATED I AM!!!

Until then, I’m sorry. I failed. But really and truly, for once it wasn’t my fault 🙂 x

Day 1 of my James Vale, Juice Master 3 Day Detox

Things on this blog have been a bit serious for the last few posts and it’s been ages since I did any sort of review so I thought I’d jump back on it and try something new. With a hen do coming up this weekend, I’ve decided that I need to run some sort of detox program to try and get my body back to looking and feeling good. Given my past history of failure at these things, I’ve decided to try a 3 day detox.

I’ve downloaded Jason Vale’s 3 day Juice Master detox app and I’ve actually got as far as starting it. According to his motivational video, I’m already doing better than most because I’ve bought the food and started the detox. BOOM! This is the kind of information I need to hear to keep me on the straight and narrow.

The Shopping List

However, the people who said I wouldn’t be hungry LIED. These are the same idiots who say their bloating decreases, their energy increases and they love it from day one.

I’m struggling, it’s 2.30pm and I’m thinking of going straight to bed post evening juice when I get home because I am THAT tired and hungry right now. I even cheated and ate a satsuma…a whole satsuma! My teeth loved the opportunity to chew something 🙂

Then I ate an apple. Just now I ate an apple because I was feeling light-headed. I’m really not sure these diets factor in the extreme eaters like me. WHOOPS!

To be fair, I think it’s been extra bad for me today because my juicer overheated last night so one of my “juices” is full of bits as I had to resort to the blender. Tomorrow’s menu looks much better as there’s a fruit smoothie and there’s ginger in one of the juices which is pretty much my favourite flavour ever! Not that that makes me any less hungry right now. What I’m currently thinking is that might just eat the components of the juice for dinner. No juicing, just actual huge chunks of food. I can’t get more bloated than I am right now and it should fill me up enough to allow me to actually do some exercise which has to be a good thing.

Watch this space to see if I’ve fallen off the wagon by this time tomorrow… (think thin, think yummy smoothie, think bikini, think…oh sod it!) x
