Here's what I do: Put a bunch of kale in bottom of blender. A half can of pineapple. A half a banana. 6 oz or so of water. Blend. Add ice to thicke and cool. It's really dealing good. Probably should use fresh pineapple but can't be bothered.

I can vouch that juicing does work. Experimentation is the best thing for juicing. Everybody has their own tastes. As long as it's fresh fruit and vegetables, you won't fail

my mom gets bad migraines and there is a huge food list, with lots of foods that make migraines worse. There's so many things she can't eat because they'll give her a migraine. You should check that out. http://www.webmd.com/migraines-heada...specific-foods
But um, marijuana is probably the best thing for migraines. Too bad my mom is old school, she won't try it. It's natures cure-all (almost) and too bad it's still illegal, could help lots of people safely.

Not knocking your enthusiasm or the juice diet but please consider this, food for thought.
You may actually be treating a symptom (the migraines) instead of the cause. Migraine triggers (not exclusive): Reaction to preservatives in processed food Stress Lack of sleep Skipped meals (cause for concern with a juice fast) (all things you have mentioned) Pretty much a given, migraines have tend to run in families. However, highly suspect of triggering migraines, is a reaction to the preservatives (also known as SHIT) in processed foods you say you eat quite often. Preservatives include sodium. Processed foods typically contain extremely high amounts of sodium. High levels of sodium can cause high blood pressure. High blood pressure can result in headaches. This may very well be the cause of your migraines. The stress you say you are experiencing can also trigger for migraines (I’m sure this is nothing new to you) and you are locked in to a vicious cycle/circle. Stress equals eating food full of preservatives which (possibly) triggers the migraine, creating more stress. You try to dismiss your stress by eating processed food which causes weight gain. Then you stress about the weight gain and the cycle starts again. Has your doctor ever suggested or discussed trying a, “migraine cocktail” first? This can sometimes break the chain of migraines. It would be done as an outpatient and takes approx. ˝ hour to infuse. A reasonable juice fast to rid your body of toxins, recommended and closely monitored by your doctor in conjunction with the “migraine cocktail” may prove very beneficial toward alleviating your migraines. Changing your diet to exclude ALL processed foods is not an easy task but it sounds like you are committed to getting rid of the migraines and your mindset is half the battle. Whatever you do please make sure you are closely monitored by a physician. Good luck!

There is another documentary that Joe Cross has a part in called "Hungry for Change". It has a lot of good info. about processed foods, sugars, aspartame, & other sugar substitutes.

I have done a 30 day and 15 day. The first 3-4 days suck donkies. If you are on caffeine get rid of that addiction first before you fast, and just makes it easier.
I am a big guy, have aches and pains and decided to try it. I really never felt better in my life. Made my skin clear up made me feel a ton better and wish it wasn't so expensive or I'd do it more often. Find some recipes you like and good luck. I honestly think you'll feel a ton better, but just remember the first few days suck but stick with it |

Yeah, you can get the jumbo size bags for a pretty good price. I think if I ate shakes all day long, it would be pretty expensive. I usually have a kale shake in the morning for breakfast that includes kale, ginger root, celery, (fruit, either apple, strawberries, or blueberries), and cucumber. Combined with a cup of coffee, you certainly get "cleaned out"
