28-Day Juice Fast Weight Loss Prep with the Nama J2 Juicer

[@pinkymcghee157]

Ya knowwwww, the cleaning of the juicer by running water through it is so simple and genius and I have no idea why I didn’t think of it before but I could hug you!!! I was looking forward to the juicing except the prep and cleaning.

[@CoachKhara]

INDEED. That was a GENIUS tip!

[@VEEBSPhotos]

@@CoachKhara so happy I saw this video. The tip of running water to clean between juices was very enlightening for me, because I had been taking it apart and cleaning between juices when I did bulk juicing. Will definitely try the water method next time. THANK YOU!!!!

[@cleopatrajones2024]

My Nama arrived August 8th 2024 and IMMEDIATELY used it and was disappointed because it didn't get as much juice from the veggies as my old school juicer did and I was going to send it back the next day for a refund. I didn't see a big difference BUT my friend suggested that I try again with fresher veggies, so the next morning I went to the grocery store and bought new veggies and only washed the ones I was going to juice right then and OMG, this thing is AMAZING. The trick is to only wash the veggies that you intend to use right then because they will start dehydrating sooner and you won't get no where near as much juice. I used the same amt of veggies that I normally do with my other juicer and I got 1/4 more than normal. The pulp IS TOTALLY dry. The clean up was about the same as the regular juicer. I give this an A+.

[@suzannebarley4365]

I watched your video a couple of weeks ago and since have pined for the Nama J2 - I have put on 8.5 stone and DO NOT EAT TO JUSTIFY THAT KIND OF WEIGHT GAIN - so I threw caution to the wind today and after 11 years of being so exhausted feeling so ill and a prisoner in my own home went ahead and bought the Nama J2 - arriving on Friday the 27th of May 2022 - cannot wait to try some of your great juices (or Jason Vale's!) - love watching your videos your skin is beautiful and you have been a great inspiration for me not to give up and sink into decrepid old age!! and hopefully feel a little more alive again - thank you and god bless!

[@soniandongmo]

I just got my J2 and it’s Brilliant to add water thru to wash it out between juices!!! Absolutely brilliant. Thanks for the tip❤️

[@jeanetterobinson6851]

Wow, I've learned so much from watching your vlog. I just received my juicer 2 days ago, and I love it. Thanks for those tips.

[@paolaarletty6525]

I LOVE the breakdown and idea to consume 2 thin (juices) and 2 thick (smoothies) per day. I absolutely love both and didn’t think I could incorporate smoothing into my cleansing. I seriously can’t wait to get my Nama J2 delivered in a few days.

[@npkrn6764]

I was looking to do the same - juicing ALONG WITH blending/smoothies. Can I ask how long did you do this for? And did you lose any weight? Thank you 😊

[@jewslikefunk]

How is your Nama J2 holding up now?

[@robertpiazzastudio]

Love your video, however something I learned about slow juicers is the oxidation is less than a high rpm juicer, so your bulk juice will last much longer in the fridge, however you cancel this out buy using a high rpm blender. It’s no different than using a high rpm juice machine. Maybe you never thought of this, so I’m putting it out there. Keep juicing! Such a beautiful woman!

[@vitazgal9933]

I hope you are aware of the most incredible buy on Ebay with the Ikich Vacuum Blender...John Kohler loves it.. It sells out for months at a time...it's availablre right now for as low as $42...& up...comes with smoothie container with lid as well...I just bought two & sent one to friend in Vancouver, WA..they got it...she and husband can't wait to start blending ....One vacuums prior to the blend..so if it appeals to anyone desiring to thicken the juice by using a blender...this would be the way to pereserve the low oxidation the NamaJ2 affords...it's really worth having as an extra to use for vauum blending.... wanted to pass that info along. One can put John Kohler's name and Ikitch Vacuum blender in search bar here & you'll see various videos by him & others...He says he'd choose the Ikitch over ANY Vitamix any day bec it's 100 % more nutrients with the vacuum... :)

You should also add a small amount of vinegar to the cleaning water.

[@soniandongmo]

Hi Jrae, thanks for your comment. Vinegar is an effective antibacterial agent that is non-toxic. I tend to clean my machine immediately after use so I don't worry about bacteria build up and just use regular dish soap. Vinegar is a good choice though for a soak on occasion. Thank you for the suggestion!

I batch my juice once a week. I juice about 20 jars, 16 oz each. Keep them in the fridge

[@soniandongmo]

I'm so impressed! Hoping to get to that point. Like shutter all the windows, lock the doors, power down the phone, turn up the music and just juice all day for the week! It's my dream. My work doesn't often afford me peace though, sadly. One day! :)

[@elisabethkontomanou6460]

Hi Awesome ! I love your facial expressions when the machine 's doing its job ahahah... you're very warm and soothing. Question: why adding protein ? wouldn't you loose more weight without? thank you for you're video, now I 'm hooked. Sending love from Paris France.

[@soniandongmo]

Thank you so much Élisabeth! I add protein primarily because the recipe calls for it BUT I appreciate it because it helps provide a more balanced diet while juicing only. Happy juicing and stay tuned!

[@jraehardin]

1: Protein sustains muscle. This includes the heart, as well as limbs. You don't want to lose weight by dropping water and muscle as it returns as soon as you stop the regiment. Instead you want to lose weight by burning fat. 2: The more muscle you have, the more fat you burn. So it's good to consume protein (even if its outside your juice) , and also exercise to build new muscle or sustain your existing. It requires more effort than cardio, but studies show muscle building is more effective than cardio for burning weight.

[@elnosworld9893]

Good morning beautiful I completely understand your trials and tribulations of being mature woman. I am 54 years of age and in the last 16 years I have focus my attention on learning as much as possible and also applying it however, in the last 6 1/half years, I’ve lived in my car after being discarded by my ex narcissist so there is a lot of limitations and restrictions in my life. The present which doesn’t allow me or afford me the ability to take excellent care of myself. This should be a daily thing, it shouldn’t be a periodic so the benefits of juicing are that you immediately get the nutrients however, they diminish as time ticks and it won’t be complete so when you’re making batches, keep that in mind Once the air hit it, it becomes oxidized you have about 10 minutes to Consume and get the full benefits enzymes and all My suggestion is as time-consuming as you think it might be. It really is in your highest good to not take shortcuts now I understand you’re doing a juice fast but you could probably do this with intermittent fasting were you actually eat around four or 5 PM one meal and you consume juices all day long But you should definitely listen to your inner guidance and you can formulate your own regimen based on the information that resonates with you that you’ve heard from other people who have successfully done this it’s just some thing I thought I would throw out there Your gut is your health That is the number one thing you should focus your attention on, and you should never abuse yourself not even when you want to self discipline and parenting yourself, as well as nurturing and caring for yourself like you would your children and hopefully they’re also being included in some of these things that you’re practicing Because the health benefits are amazing and let’s face it the American diet is the word diet minus the t

[@CarolynYouman59]

This is a very good recipe you did an amazing job but always remember to remove your apple seeds before juicing it’s one of the healthy choices that I always do is to remove apple seed before juicing.

[@soniandongmo]

Actually you are not the first to comment about the apple seeds. I did a little research and it turns out that you would need a truck load of apple seeds to have any adverse effects. Apple seeds in these quantities are benign. Thank you for reaching out and keep juicing!

[@KansasRN]

Great video. I believe it isn’t safe to juice/eat apple seeds. Might check on that. Love my NamaJ2!

[@soniandongmo]

Hi Julianne! Many people feel that way because of the trace amounts of amygdalin and a Facebook article from some time ago that went viral, I believe. Based on this fact check article, the jury is still out. It's says: "The average apple usually contains between five to eight seeds. Apple seeds contain approximately 1-4 milligrams of amygdalin, a 2014 study found, but not all of that translates into cyanide. Plus, the human body can process hydrogen cyanide in small doses, so eating a few seeds is not dangerous. In fact, it would take "anywhere from 150 to several thousand crushed seeds" to cause cyanide poisoning, according to Britannica."

I have a question about your freezing tip. When you freeze your juice in the glass jar do you leave some room at the top? I’m wondering if it expands as it hardens in the freezer. I love this tip and it would help me tremendously since as it thaws it’s still cold and enjoyable to drink while I’m working. 😊🥒🥕🍍🍉

[@soniandongmo]

Hi Cheyenne! So great to hear from you! Yes most of the information needed for a juice fast is found in the Jason Vale app that I use. It essentially works out to drinking 4 juice bottles daily plus one juice "shot" at the start of the day. Works out to 4.25 total bottles of juice daily - 2 thick juices and 2 thin ones. My juice schedule : 9 am: juice shot 10 am : smoothie 1 pm : juice 4 pm : juice 7 pm : smoothie I'm going to continue my juicing until the new year except for Christmas day where I'll stick to protein and veggies (no gluten).

Hi, awesome video and thanks for sharing. Question? do you have an issue with fibers from your celery getting stucked in your juicer? I always had issues with celery and cucumbers when putting them through my juicers. or is it a matter of fresh produce?

I have not had any trouble with celery fibre at all. I find this juicer to be extremely capable and efficient. You would appreciate this juicer very much.

[@cindyjames4407]

I haven't Juiced celery yet in my Nama J2. But in my Omega horizontal 8006 I found if I cut the celery in about 2-in pieces it prevented the fiber from clogging. I love my mama j2. This video was so helpful to me. I am about to start the 28th day challenge. But today I gave in too eating because I didn't have a plan. This video gave me lots of help and I am looking forward to starting tomorrow. I've watched a lot of videos and I really liked the way things were so clearly presented.

Hi Crystal, my goal is juice only but the Jason Vale program I follow allows for a date/nut bar called the RX Bar in cases of extreme hunger. It does a great job of tiding you over. But honestly, you can just eat an apple or a veggie if you're too hungry to last. Don't underestimate the withdrawal from refined sugars. It's real. It's just essential to remember that it's only temporary. :)

My experience with the J2 was excessively thick juice compared to the vitality 5800 so I sent it back. Do you notice this as well?

[@soniandongmo]

I have not found that to be the case actually. However, I've found that over-ripe produce leads to thick juice so be very careful of the quality of fruits and vegetables that you're pressing. When apple and pears become too soft and ripe they will "mush" instead of juice.

[@darceyderosa2426]

I thought you could make smoothies In your J2.

2 of the 4 juices per day are smoothies. You use a blender as well to blend in the thickening component. The Nama J2 can make frozen fruit/veg treats however. I should make a video on that.
