Jason Vale - The Juice Master Juice Yourself Slim - The Healthy Way To Lose Weight Without Dieting

‘Dear Jason On Sunday (day 19 on the juice trial) I did the 10K Bananaman Chase. I took your advice and had a banana with my juice in the morning and I was really nervous. I knew I would do it but thought it would take me a lot longer than my last 10K at the beginning of September … Well, anyway, I am so proud of myself because I have just had the official timing for the race on Sunday and I have knocked six minutes off my last run. Yippee! I was literally RUNNING ON JUICE. X Annette’

Annette was one of the people on the Super Juice Me! test programme. The small group lived on only juice and smoothies for 30 days. Annette was on day 19 of this programme when she decided to run the 10K race. As you can see, she not only completed the race but knocked six minutes off her previous time. We have been conditioned to believe we need to load up on complex carbohydrates before any kind of distance running, but time and time again I have seen people literally ‘running on juice’. When I was on day five of a juice-only programme I ran a half marathon, and I completed the New York full marathon with just a couple of Super Fuel Smoothiesin me. This woman had been living on nothing but juice and smoothies for 19 days before the race, and far from collapsing, she sailed home. Never underestimate the carbohydrate and ‘isotonic’ powers of freshly extracted juice!

‘Dear Juice Master Team I accidentally stumbled on Jason’s book when I purchased my new juicer from John Lewis. My first reaction was to bin the book because at 5’6” and 8st in weight I had no desire or need to lose weight. I read the first few pages and persevered as the book had asked me to and then became interested in the nutritional aspects. I proceeded to give juicing a shot just for the hell of it. Things then started happening quite quickly even though I was not doing the juicing diet itself but just taking two or three juices a day on a regular basis. The first thing was that my system flushed out. Then I had more energy and felt like exercising more and sleeping less. Finally, within a period of three months, my endometriosis disappeared quite unexpectedly after eight years, several miscarriages and numerous treatments. So thank you! Regards Tayba’

You would think after reading such a letter that anyone in the medical or dietetic industry would want to know more. After all, if eight years of numerous medical treatments have failed and only three months of juicing has seen the condition ‘completely disappear’, surely someone, somewhere who can make a bigger difference than me, should at least look into it with an open mind. What shouldn’t happen is what so often does: it gets dismissed as pseudo-science.

Endometriosis is a condition affecting some two million women in the UK alone. It can cause pain, swelling and bleeding, and can occur in many parts of the body, most commonly the fallopian tubes, ovaries, bladder, bowel, intestines and vagina. So what’s the usual approach to treatment? Anything from simple anti-inflammatory drugs to surgery. Side-effects of some of the drug treatments used for this condition include bloating, mood changes, irregular bleeding, acne, weight gainand even the development of masculine features (hair growth and deepening voice). So your endometriosis might get better but you may well be walking around with the voice of Darth Vader, the face of Wolf Boy and a stomach the size of the Napa Valley!

The side-effects from the ‘alternative’ juicing approach were simply more energy and less sleep. Doesn’t it seem odd that when what is deemed an ‘alternative’ approach works, it is viewed by many as meaningless, but if a drug has the slightest positive effect it’s on the shelves quicker than you can say ‘blockbuster’.

‘Hello there I just wanted to thank Jason … about a million times over really. I started juicing a while back as I bought a juicer and it came with one of Jason’s books. I have always tried to watch what I eat but reading this book was very helpful in getting me to juice every evening after work. Since 16 June, I have lost about a stone and a half and feel amazing. I promote Jason and his book and the health benefits wherever I go, and people are amazed when they taste how good the juices can be. It’s now part of my life and I don’t want to go back to former eating patterns. At 5’ 2” I have always struggled with my weight but juicing has made steady weight loss EASY. I have a healthy meal in the evening which mostly consists of an enormous salad with something else (have always been nuts about salads anyway). Everyone is telling me how good I look and although I still have a little way to go to be a perfect weight (if there is such a thing) I am relaxed about getting there. I feel like I’ve got a whole new set of clothes in my wardrobe. I have become interested in shopping again, which I haven’t been for some time. Thank you, thank you, thank you for giving me the tools to help myself. My daughter is also doing brilliantly (although had little to lose) and we hope one day, maybe next year, to sign up to go on one of Jason’s retreats. We are both yoga fans and a week of juicing would be brilliant. We both feel very empowered after reading Jason’s books and hope that others will want to share in the success it can bring. Thanks for the life change … it continues to be amazing!! Marianne and Tabitha XXX’

Once again we have someone who simply incorporates a few juices a day into her life and has a balanced evening meal. In her own words: ‘ Juicing has made steady weight loss EASY’,something I believe the world is looking for and something you will discover when you start the revolutionary Juice Yourself Slim programme.

‘Hi Jason I haven’t had a migraine since I started juicing! So I experimented and for a week I didn’t juice or exercise (Pilates) and guess what? Yes, my migraine came back with a vengeance! From the time I was a toddler I have suffered from migraines at least once a month, sometimes twice or three times. I have been to several doctors and clinics, done the ‘programme’, took the pills for 30 years and nothing worked. So thank you Jason and the Juice Master — I am juicing the wheatgrass now with my new juicer. Still doing the Pilates which has helped tremendously with my back injury. And to top it all I have been accepted at the local university to do a design degree. And I’m 60 years young — but where the hell were you for 35 of my years!!! Thank you again a thousand times. Penelope P’

I used to suffer from migraines and they aren’t a laughing matter. If you have them my heart goes out to you – all you can do is close the world out and pray it goes away soon. This lady is 60 years old and took pills for over 30 years, yet a bit of juicing and some exercise and boom! Problem gone. The juicing and exercise have also helped with a back injury. This isn’t the first time I have heard of juicing helping people with migraines.

‘I have lost 23lbs in only four weeks and my asthma has improved so much that I have reduced my medication (I take steroids and have a nebulizer). I wrote to my doctor to make sure it was okay and he’s very happy. Kindest regards Heather’

Most of you will have focused on the massive 23lb weight loss in just four weeks. After all, this book is entitled Juice Yourself Slim. However, what I wish to emphasize is that Heather didn’t decide to Juice Herself to Lower Asthma Medication – she read the book and wanted to Juice Herself Slim. The improvement in her asthma was a ‘side-effect’ of the programme.

I used to suffer from severe asthma, to the point where I had steroid tablets and was using my Ventalin inhaler up to 14 times a day, every single day. If I lost my inhaler or misplaced it I would immediately panic, which, not surprisingly, often triggered an attack in itself.
