Juicing preparation

I've decided in preparation of my juice fast that I should make a plan of the juices I will have each day for the first week along with the recipes in order to stay organized and motivation.

I've been using www.jointhereboot.com to get juice recipes but I realized they have a limited number of recipes and I will probably get sick of these ones pretty quickly.

To prepare for my juice fast I decided to check out some juicing books from the library. I got The Juicing Bible by Pat Crocker & Susan Eagles and The Everything Juicing Book by Carole Jacobs, Chef Patrice Johnson and Nicole Cormier.

When I arrived at the check out counter at the library the lady working at the counter asked me if I had just bought a juicer. I told that I hadn't bought one yet but I was going to get one. She said, " I heard you can lose a lot of weight that way." There was another lady checking out books with her kids next to me and she started telling me about their juicer and how much they love it. She said that her husband had replaced two meals a day with juice and lost 10 pounds in the first week. She even suggested a place to get a good deal on carrots.

I tend to be an individual that loves technology and how convenient it makes life but today I was really glad that I went to the library and checked these books out rather than buying them online or getting an ebook. I'm sure that the books will be a great resource but there's nothing better then hearing a first hand account of someone that has witnessed the power of juicing. I left the library with 2 books and a restored faith in the kindness of strangers. It was a great visit to the library.
