This has probably been asked thousands of times in regards to Take Off Juice
V8 Fusion is NOT a comparable juice to the Take Off. V8 Fusion is primarily carbs, and even a serving of the light version of the drink counts as two fruits instead of one. I have tried Knudsen's Organic Morning Blend juice since someone else posted on this site that it was similar. However, in looking at the actual ingredients in the juices and comparing nutrients, they are nowhere near similar.

If your husband, or anyone, wants to do a fasting (which is what Take Off really is) I suggest they do some research online or find a good book. I have tried to follow take-off before with having four mandarin oranges with all the protein and green veggies but it does not work as well and I DO NOT recommend doing it.

Workout with no result?
I would add that mentality plays a role in this as well, at least it has for me. I started at 181 about 7 months ago. I started LA Weight Loss because I knew I needed someone else to walk me through this, to give support, and to brighten me when my spirits are down. I started on a diet of about 1600 calories to start with, and have moved down from there over time. It's equally a matter of math for me and a matter of what I believe I can accomplish. I stopped drinking soda, eating pizza, eating sweets, anything salty, because I knew those things were keeping me from losing. Yes, it has STUNK to be without certain meals I loved, but now I know that my happiness is worth more to me than the reward of eating those foods. Is there a nutritionist you could see at your doctor's office? They can give you a visual as to what a portion of food truly is, and what kinds of food your particular body should shy away from.

I also have made a balance in my work out and it has been wonderful. Running is great, but if it's all you do, your body will adapt to that. Are there classes you could take that might give you a smile as well as a workout? I now do running and weights twice a week, zumba/dance class twice a week, and a high cardio Turbo Kick class twice a week, and I rest on Fridays. It's all about balance.

Find ways to be proud of yourself, even on small levels, so that your seemingly small accomplishments add up to bigger ones.

Hope this helps!

Looking for a caffeine free weight loss tea
Hello! I just started drinking the fasting tea from Yogi Tea brand. Does anyone know of a good weight loss or fasting tea besides that one that they really like? It would help if it didn't taste like dirt. Thank you!!
