‘Cabala Juicer Champion’ Competition

leah — Sat, 29 Aug 2009 08:19:58 +0000

The latest post was about me making Cabala Juice in 16 minutes and 27 seconds. This included cutting cup the ingredients. I’m not sure how long you spend preparing and cooking food on a non-juice cleanse day but I’m predicting it is much more than 16 minutes and 27 seconds!

What are you going to do will all this extra time?

This got me thinking how cool it would be to run a competition to see who can make Cabala Juice in the least amount of time!

So the following competition has been born…

‘Cabala Juicer Champion’

How to play:

Time how long it takes you to make your daily dose of Calaba Juice.
Wash the ingredients, set up juicer, have chopping board and knife ready to go before starting the timer.
Start the timer and start chopping (please be careful, I’m not covered for case of the missing finger!)
Finish timer once all the ingredients have been juiced and you have your daily dose of Cabala
This competition ends on Day 3 (Monday 31^st August at midnight)

The daily does of Calaba is approximately 2 litres per person, per day. The amount of juice you extract from the quantity of fruit and vegetables in the recipe will vary depending on the type of juicer you have. Cold Press action juicers extract more juice then centrifugal juicers. Please refer to ‘Juicers’ section of this website for more information.

Given the “big mouth feeders” of centrifugal juicers provides a distinct advantage over the smaller mouth of a cold press juicer there are going to be two categories for the ‘Cabala Juicer Champion’ competition. ‘Cenrifugal Juicer’ and ‘Cold Press Juicer’

So when you send through your results please specify if you have used a ‘Centrifugal’ of ‘Cold Press’ juicer.

The prize for both categories will be… drum roll please… a supply of ‘Emergency Meal’!!!

The ‘Emergency Meal’ otherwise know as ‘Sacred Meal’ will be posted to you on Day 4 (Tuesday 1^st September) of the ’14 Day Juice Cleanse Challenge’.

For more information on Sacred Meal please refer to the ‘Emergency Meal’ section of this website.

Happy Juicing

Juice Cleanse: Prepare for blast off!

leah — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 23:28:04 +0000

Being organised and prepared is a key ingredient to making your ‘14 Day Juice Cleanse Challenge’ a raging success!

Please take the time to look at the ‘Recipe’ and ‘Shopping List’ section of this website.

Rawsome Tip: Making your ‘daily dose’ of juice in the morning and then refrigerating or freezing it will save you a lot of time!

Refrigerate the juice immediately in an airtight bottle making sure you fill it to the brim, as this will reduce the expose of the juice to air and help maintain the juice quality. This will keep for a few hours if you’re using a centrifugal juicer and up to 48 hours if using a juicer with a cold press action (Refer to section on ‘Juicers’)

Freezing the juice quickly after it’s prepared is also a good way to maintain the nutritional quality of the juice. This will allow you to simply take the juice out of the freezer when required. The quality juice stays reasonably stable for up to a month in its frozen state.

Q: How much weight will I lose?

leah — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 03:14:45 +0000

A: The weight you lose during the ‘14 Day Juice Cleanse Challenge’ depends a lot on your starting weight. The more overweight you are, the more weight you will lose. As a general guide people lose 10% of their starting weight over the 14 days. For example, if your starting weight is 90kg, expect to lose 9kg and therefore weigh 81kg by the end of 14 days. The majority of this weight loss will be water and fecal matter from the colon. A juice cleanse is designed to cleanse your body, break your mental addiction to food and kick start you into a life of ‘raw’ energy and health and magnificence. As with any ‘diet’, you’ll regain weight if you return to the old eating habits that caused you to become overweight to begin with.

Q: Can I exercise while on the Juice Cleanse?

leah — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 03:13:41 +0000

A: Exercise is an essential ingredient throughout the cleanse. 30-40 minutes of low intensity exercise is recommended daily. Walking in the sunshine is best! Exercise will keep the bowel moving and enhance the removal of toxins. Stretching, deep breathing, rebounding on a mini trampoline and therapeutic massages will further assist in flushing out the metabolic wastes from the lymph and cells.

I strongly suggest avoiding intense physical activity such running, heavy weights and high-impact aerobic exercise during the juice cleanse, even if you do feel very energetic. Instead, store your energy and save it for your body’s reserves to aid in the detoxification process.
