Want to do a juice-only Reboot?
You’ve just seen Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead (maybe for the second or third time!) and you’re totally psyched to start your own juice Reboot just like Joe and Phil. You found us here at jointhereboot.com, signed up, and read about the Reboot Classic, Reboot Express, Reboot Entry, and Juice Til Dinner plans, and learned there was solid food included in all of those plans. But you want to JUST JUICE – just like Joe and Phil. Now you’re wondering, how can I do that?
Did you happen to see our Long-Weekend Reboot? It is on the plan page and is 3 days of Just Juicing. If you wish to go longer, follow the same guidelines for the length of time you plan to juice, and of course get your doctor’s approval in advance.
The Reboot Classic plan also includes 5 days of just juice – days 6-10. Look to these for more ideas on how to create a day of drinking just juice. It’s often helpful to start and finish your juice only reboot with a few days of eating veggies, fruits and drinking juice. This is how the Reboot Classic is set up; 5 days of eating + juicing then 5 days of just juice (which you can extend longer) then 5 days of eating + juicing.
Juice On!
Links seem to be missing…
Where are the links for the juice only diet?
basically start with juice and eating veggies THEN go on the juice only .. usually five days but you can extend .. then as you finish the juice only period .. do juice and veggies before you start SLOWLY to resume a eating pattern, as Joe explains this is because if you go straight into eating back in your normal pattern your body will think its gone from famine mode to Feast mode and store food ( assumming you will be back on famine mode soon) and you will start putting weight on .. so if you ease back from juice only to juice and eating and then resume a good healthy eating plan you will get more benefit and maintain you healthy weight.. hope this helps ..
Also looking for the juice only link…..
where is the self-assessment, I must be blind or it doesn’t exist..
I think if you read above it says if you want to do just juice do the three day plan longer but to get your dr’s approval.
Just wondering. What do you use to boost fiber?
Boost fiber? Just add more apples!
How many days do you need to juice to really detox your body and get your liver and digestive system “reset” and working better? I know that’s a hard question but are there any guidelines or suggestions? Thanks!
Hi laingb – great question! It really depends on the person’s situation and details of their current state of health and usual diet, exercise, other wellness behaviors. For example, someone already eating a plant based diet at a healthy weight who exercises probably could juice for 3-5 days and experience a “detox” while someone who is overweight, sedentary, eating a typical American diet might need more time. I think in general, setting a goal of 3-15 days is a good place to start. Let me know if you have any questions about figuring out what’s best for you.
Thank you Stacy, I am on day 3 now although I am not following the exact recipes on the plan. Can I chill my fruit/veg instead of using ice — do you think that have any negative impact on them? I am overweight but pretty healthy and somewhat active so I think a 5 day will be my goal for now.
Thanks for all your very helpful answers and posts.
Thank you very much Stacy! Today is my first day if juicing and reclaiming back my life….
This is going to sound lame, does anyone have a shopping list that will cover the 5/5/5 15 day reboot? Sorry my ADHD needs things broken down like a shopping list to cover the fruits and veggies. Thanks, Mike.
I’d like the shopping list too… Not lame.
Just go to this link and pick a few juices to make, all the ingredients are there for each one. So basically, buy to suit the recipes you choose. http://www.jointhereboot.com/category/recipes/page/2/
What if you are having trouble drinking all 5 juices? Is it OK to drink just 4 a day? My stomach can’t hold anymore!
Hi Cindyslost – yes 4 juices a day is fine – the recommended range is 4-6 per day. Be sure to drink lots of water too (or water with lemon, herbal tea)
I am overweight and I would like to do the 60 days only juice. I am in Italy is there any doctor in Italy or in the USA that could followme in this venture? Thank you
Would using frozen fruits and vegetables be the same as buying fresh produce, sometimes the frozen packaged produce is cheaper? I’m not sure if there is a difference or not
Hi MrsSchwetty, fresh is best but frozen is next best and even better for items out of season. Just let them thaw before juicing. Enjoy!
YESSS fo for it!
Hi Stacy I don’t see the information from the juice only link. Am I overlooking it?
Where are the links for the juice only diet
Check out the Long Weekend Plan which is all juice – you can extend it longer if you wish http://www.jointhereboot.com/plans/
what i do to get protein
Hi Fernando, here is more information about protein during your reboot. http://www.jointhereboot.com/protein-the-reboot-setting-the-record-straight/
Enjoy!
My husband and I are in our 70′s and would like to loose weight. We saw Joe Cross movie Fat, Sick, And Nearly Dead and would like to try juicing. We would like some recipes for veggies and fruits. Can you supply or is there a book of recipes that we can buy?
Hi Lilia, welcome to reboot! So glad you enjoyed the film. Here is a brand new recipe book from Joe that’s coming out soon – you can pre-order it now. http://www.jointhereboot.com/reboot-with-joe-recipe-book/
You can also check out our meal plans here http://www.jointhereboot.com/plans/
I have read that apples are the only fruit that can be juiced with vegetables… Is this true? I have been juicing for breakfast for about 2 months now and my skin has improved drastically.. you see i suffer from rosacea. Thank you
I have thyroid disease (hypo) and I am wondering if there is anything additional I should do to prepare my body for juicing, or anything I should steer clear of while juicing? Or maybe have more of? Also is there a better or worse amount of time for me to just juice without eating?
Hi Stacy,
I am considering doing the 10 day juice fast. I see below that you recommend 4-6 juices a day. How many oz in each juice? Does it matter? If I want to lose weight, I just want to make sure I’m drinking the proper amount. Thanks!!
Hi Kristin, fantastic! we suggest 16-20 oz per juice. Be sure to drink enough to help lose weight plus a lot of water – at least 64 oz.

What I cant seem to find is a list of actual juices that are recommended. Which juices provide which kind of nutrients, are there specific juices that should be consumed at certain times of the day? What juice recipes mesh with the objective of the Reboot. I feel like there should be a page of juices that Joe drinks so we can follow that.
Hi Nico, here is the link to our plans http://www.jointhereboot.com/plans/
The Long Weekend is juice only so use that as a starting point.
Joe drinks the Mean Green a lot but also many other juices for a wide variety of plant nutrients

I’m thinking of doing a 3-day juice cleanse at the beginning of the year. I’m doing a little research, but I’m curious. Have any of you guys done a juice cleanse? What did you think and how did it make you feel?
Just watched the film and am super inspired and ready to start juicing! Been browsing through the site but I want to know if it is advised that I do the 60 day juice fast on my first go, I really want to, but is it a good idea?
Also, where can I get a solid list of 60 recipes to really guide me and get me started? Thanks!
Hi ivb – we suggest speaking with your doctor before embarking on an extended reboot like 60 days. Check out our Long Weekend Plan for juice only ideas. It’s a great place to start! Let us know if you have any questions. Wishing you all the best!
Hi Stacy, I live in the area and am interested in doing an extended juice fast prior to transitioning to whole foods raw foods. Do you ever do independent consultations? If so how would I set one up?
Thank you
Hi rca, that’s wonderful you are interested in a reboot followed by a healthy whole foods diet! Feel free to email me for more info on our programs and how I can help you stacykennedy@jointhereboot.com
I’m working on getting everything together to start this, and I have a few questions…
Pulp or no pulp? I have an old juicer that’s really good about not allowing pulp into the juice, but I know that’s where a lot of nutrients are so do I scoop some or all of that into the juice or none?
If I’m taking prenatal vitamins to hopefully have kids by next year, do I stop taking those when juicing (since I notice it’s recommended to stop vitamins)?
I tend to crave red meat around that “time of month”, are there any special juices I should be taking to give my body what it needs and help me get through my once a month cravings?
Thanks in advance!
How much water should i drink. In the three day plan it says “First Thing in the Morning have 8-‐16oz of hot water, add lemon and ginger if desired” that is 128oz before i even get to work. Is that accurate.
Stephanie – that means have somewhere between 8 to 16 ounces of water in the morning…
Hi Stephanie – for the day at least 64 oz of water total in addition to your juices – some benefit from drinking more like up to 72-80+ oz per day. Depending on your weight and activity level. Let me know if you have any questions.
Hi Stacy, I have had a gastric bypass and know that too much sugar will cause dumping syndrome can I still do the juice diet as I only want to loose 20kg (30lbs) that just cannot shed?
Hi Mardonj, great question and welcome to reboot! I do think juicing would be an excellent way to lose weight post-gastric bypass. But as you mention you’ll want to be careful about sugar amounts to prevent dumping. Also space your juice out so rather than 4-6 juices at 16-20 oz have like 6-8 juices that are 10-12 oz each. You can add extra protein as needed http://www.jointhereboot.com/protein-the-reboot-setting-the-record-straight/
Here is more info about making lower sugar juices http://www.jointhereboot.com/sweetness-how-to-manage-your-sugar-intake-and-reboot-with-diabetes-2/
Be sure to hydrate well but space your water intake out into smaller amounts like with your juices. Keep us posted and wishing you well!
Hi Stacy. Just getting started with juicing and I had a few questions… My husband and I wanted to do a 15 day juice only reboot. How many ounces should we be drinking per day? Is there a limit? I know that fruits are better in the morning and 80% veggies in the afternoon/night but does it really matter when you drink everything during the day? Like can I have more than one drink for breakfast, lunch and dinner? I guess it depends on the ounces, huh. Thanks for your help!
Hi Taramzaing – great email name! We suggest 4-6 juices per day at 16-20 oz each. No limit! Actually more can be better – here is some great reads on this topic http://www.jointhereboot.com/all-calories-are-not-created-equal/
http://www.jointhereboot.com/counting-calories-or-counting-nutrients/
Drink when you wish in terms of timing but not more than 4 hours between juices is generally best. Yes you can have more at each meal if you are hungry,.
Enjoy! Let us know if you have questions along the way
I always find it funny that to start eating healthy it is best for us to check with a doctor but no one advises us to get a doctors approval to eat the junk. Just a thought.
Ok, Seen the movie 3 times in past month, such a life changing event. Bought my Breville, now i am going to start, i am 325lb at 6’1″, i intend to do a 15 day juice only to start…..i want to be able to lose weight and get my energy back, …any tips for a first timer?
is it ok to add spices and hebs to the juice? if so which ones? tabasco?
Hi Arizona, yes you can add any spices and herbs to your juice for an extra kick of flavor and nutrients. Tabasco is fine too. Enjoy!
How much produce would i have to buy in order to drink 6 cups of juice a day? And what different juices should I drink?
What Type of chewing gum do you recommend during the juice only fast?
Hi TJ, we suggest a natural gum without any artificial sweeteners or ingredients, like one with stevia.
Hi Stacey,
Is it safe to do a juice fast/feast with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis? The fasts usually include a lot of goitrogenic vegetables(kale, chard etc). Can you suggest substitutions and how is this handled on reboot camps.
Hi Stacey,

oops, didn’t mean to post twice
Hi S, here is important info for making substitutions with Hashimoto’s. Mainly you want to minimize consumption/juicing raw cruciferous veggies like broccoli, kale, chard. http://www.jointhereboot.com/hyperthyroidism-and-goitrogens/
At camp reboot there will be a variety of choices for juice so no worries! And I’ll be there too
