About Me:: I am a happily married father of two kids (18 & 14) who has somehow ballooned to more than a quarter ton in weight.

What kind of life shifts/transformations are you looking to have with Juice Feasting?: Actually I am not juice feasting to lose weight (although I hope to), but rather to feel better. Actually, I do feel better. Much better. I am on day 5 and feel amazing. Up until day 4 I felt like death on two legs. I couldn't stand for more than a minute (today I stood for an hour making juice!) and ached all over. I needed about 12 hours of sleep a day. I don't think I was "sick" per say, like I had a cold of flu or something. My diet had just caught up to me. My sister and mom are juice feasters, so I knew I would like to try it someday. Well, that day came sooner than I thought when my health got critical. Another thing is that I have a toe which has an odd, unnatural pain in it. When I mentioned it to my wife, she said it could be a sign of diabetes approaching. Uh uh. No thank you. So, here I am.

Interests (Beyond Nutrition): Books, organic gardening (one day I will actually get my hands dirty too), nutrition (I actually am very knowledgeable about nutrition, but until recently it was more like "do as I say, not as I do".

Favorite Books: The Revolution, A Manifesto by Ron Paul - 1984, by George Orwell - Blowback, by Chalmers Johnson - Anything by Charles Dickens or John Irving.

Favorite Quote: Every temporary defeat bring with it the seed of an equal or greater opportunity.

Excellent Films: King Corn, Food Matters, America: Freedom to Fascism, Iraq for Sale, the Illusionist, many more.

Not only will your toe feel better, but you will feel better all over. When I was juice feaster earlier in March, my legs really changed, my ankles became slimmer, and all sorts of positive changes happened all over my body. It is exciting to see the changes, and so my crystal ball predicts that you will see and feel MANY changes .... and will need to change your "handle" before too long.

This is definitely a path of "loving yourself enough to ...." (juice mass quanitites, make sure you have enough produce, take your superfoods, etc.) as Gabriel Cousins says, so welcome to the love fest! XOXOXO

You are so blessed to have a mom and sister who juice feast. Have you ever tried a plant based diet before?
