Allison Ann traineo Regular Posts: 62 Allison Ann I'm trying to get back into running as a way of staying healthy and getting fit. I've got two races this year--A 10K in May and a 10 Miler in October. My training includes 3 days of running, 2 days of cross-training and 2 days of weight lifting. I'm trying to eat a little better as well. More veggies, good protein and whole grains.	# Posted: 13 May 2008 19:10 There's no scientific basis to any "detoxing" claims made by proponents of fasting or juice fasting. Google the terms "detox" and "myth" and you'll find a lot of articles by doctors and scientists that explain that the human body with a healthy diet, and plenty of water and sleep is better than a fast at filtering toxins. Here are a couple examples: http://www.guardian.co.uk/befit/story/0,,1379231,0 0.html http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article78 4402.ece
Amy S Fitness Guru Posts: 220 Amy S A few ups and downs with the weight lately. Losing those last 10 lbs again now. Revised fitness plan: -some cardio EVERY day for a month to remove the revenge of the hip fat -some weight training, some pilates -I love biking and lots of fun summer sports! That's what it's all about-good times! I will eat healthy foods and let my body weigh what it wants to weigh. I concentrate on whole grains, lean proteins, fruits and veggies, and I will eat delicious chocolate when I want to! Guilt has been removed from my vocabulary. The wave of passion can be an unstoppable force. To get what you've never had, you must do what you've never done. Procrastination is opportunity's natural assassin.	# Posted: 13 May 2008 19:22 I'm thinking your muscles would be breaking down without any source of protein.
