We did a sample of juicing at fellowship last Sunday. My Pastor has been juicing and has gotten his family into it as well as some other church members. We're planning on a screening of Fat Sick and Nearly Dead as well as starting a community program in the DeMotte area where we help people get started on small juice fasts.
With the sample of juicing there was some mixed feelings.
Some people thought it tasted very good. Others thought it was gross. Still others wouldn't even try it.
And with this, Stacey (pastor's wife and my friend) brought up a very good point::
"People need to get over this notion that every meal that they eat needs to be the best thing they've ever put in their mouth. You really have to get into the mindset that what you're eating is fuel and it does your body good."
It's very true. Not every juice I make is delicious, though some are. They're definitely not all pretty. If you're used to a lot of "bad" foods in your diet, even the good ones will probably not be good to you at first. But the mindset needs to be changed to This Is Healthy. And also to remember: It's not for forever. Can you really not go a week (for most people this is what is recommended) without having the best meal of your life? If it takes a week to jump start health goals that have been in the back of your mind for ages, why not just do it? What do you really have to lose?
I'll post as soon as I know when the screening will be, everyone should witness it and make an informed decision on if this is the best thing for your health and your body.
