Despite our best intentions incorporating juicing into our lives, many of us find ourselves routinely overeating at meals, snacking mindlessly, or binging regularly. As emotional eaters, we turn to food for comfort, soothing, distraction, and excitement. There’s a disconnection fueling our eating, robbing years from our lives, and we know it. We’re tired of restrictive diets that lead back to overeating, and we’re ready to try something different.
