day-trading futures and shares.

Lots of cash meant fast cars,

big boats,

big nights out,

and in my case,

food, lots of food.

And boy,

didn't I give it a nudge.

In the years I've known him,

his weight fluctuated,

big time!

Went up and down

like a bride's nighty.

Cold, depression,

headache, hangover,

varicose vein,

menstrual, stress,

I would like you to make me

your favorite juice.

- My favorite juice?

- Yeah!

The cleansing cocktail?

The cleansing cocktail,

that sounds good.

- Carrot, apple, beet and ginger.

- Sounds good.

Step right over here,

hes gonna fix it for you.

- Beautiful. Thank you very much.

- Thank you, no problem.

So juice fasting, you're

still eating something,

you're drinking

nutrients.

Particularly a lot of

micronutrients

that are coming from

fruits and vegetables.

And because it's a liquid,

it's more rapidly absorbed.

So it's a quick, easy way

of giving your body

a very potent source

of healthy nutrients.

Now try to think about

the way we normally consider

juice in our country,

which is in a bottle,

in a grocery store.

Whether it says it has

sugar added to it or not,

it has been so processed

that it's not at all like

the fruit and vegetable juice

coming out of a juicer

that you're making at home.

How about a small apple juice please?

Thank you.

Like it doesn't seem logical

not to eat food.

I mean where did three meals

a day come from?

I mean who decided

we eat three meals a day?

Why isn't it six or seven?

Or...

two?

I don't understand that.

Spinach and beans.

It's gonna be...

a big part of my future.

I actually love spinach.

When you're eating three meals

a day and you're 41,

that sort of equates to

Now we go on holidays,

we sleep at night,

we give our car a service,

but we don't think about

giving our bodies a rest.

Part of being on this journey is

I've resigned myself

that I'm not gonna eat so...

Once you do that,

surprising how easy it is,

like...

Theres nothing gonna

break me here.

I'm not gonna have a panic attack

and run out and buy a donut.

Alright. OK.

All the energy I need

to digest,

to get through my day,

here it is here, look.

It's sitting here.

So,

I've gotta think about it that,

you know, the falafels that

I had say two months ago.

They're still sittin' there,

and, I gotta think mentally that

I'm actually having them now.

So the idea of fasting

is not unique.

In fact, fasting is part of

who we are as a human being.

You see, for millions of years

we basically lived by the philosophy

of hunter-gatherer.

But to survive when there wasn't

anything to hunt or gather,

we became like human refrigerators,
