Before and After Weight Loss With Juicing

Meet Emma Tolliday, a 37-year-old woman who finally achieved weight loss success with a juicing diet after over 20 years of yo-yo dieting. Emma, weighing at 294 pounds finally had enough and checked into a 7 day detox retreat. 

When Emma was 13 she began dieting after a school crush called her fat, but no fad diet ever kept the weight off permanently. Struggling with pre-diabetes and anxiety, Emma went to Spain in July 2012 with a friend to start her juice detox. Once there Tolliday made the transition from McDonalds, pizza, chocolate to juice and lost 14 pounds in that first week. In the next nine months she cut out dairy, caffeine, and sugar. She incorporated dinner meals such as steamed chicken and vegetables but stuck to the 2 juices a day habit. In total, Emma lost 126 pounds and loves her new lifestyle.

Emma revealed: "I had all this energy and felt better than I had in years. And the best bit was the juices were so filling I wasn’t hungry at all. When I lost a whole stone (14lbs) by the end of the week I knew that it actually worked. I got home and threw out all the junk food around the house and stocked my fridge full of fruit and veg. I bought a juicer and started juicing for meals."

Emma went from a size 26 to a size 12 and lost 126lbs.
