Whoops, I’d nearly forgotten that I hadn’t posted my conclusions about this experiment! And the conclusion is… inconclusive. There were too many external factors and circumstances which occured over the week to actually draw accurate conclusions from the experiment, however, I did figure out the following:

1. Perceiving myself as more healthy helped me feel like the experiment was working (even if it wasn’t)
2. I really like Jugo Juice
3. The Jugo Juice dude in my building knows me now and suggests new stuff for me to try
4. I had more energy in the afternoons, thanks to all of that fruit sugar
5. Getting over 200% of your daily Vitamin C intake at once can have unpleasant effects on your digestion systems… still haven’t figured out if this is due to cleansing or just due to a bad reaction, so proceed with caution
6. A 24oz smoothie is more than enough for a meal replacement
7. If I want a salad, I need to hit the salad bar in this building before 12:30pm. After that, only the more unappetizing stuff is left

Another ‘inconclusive conclusion’ which I came to is that I did actually lose some fat off my stomach and waist. Not sure how much at this point (I can’t measure myself at work), and I’m not sure if it was because of the experiment, or exercise, or the placebo effect from the mind-trick (see #1 in the list), or a combination of all three. But hey, after only a week, that’s pretty good progress, no? I’m still drinking Jugo Juice for lunch, but I’ve downsized to the 14oz so that I can eat other stuff as well. Yay for healthy eating .
