Hey MFPals. I'm planning to begin juicing and I'm not sure which to get. I've heard that the lower the wattage, the better because more nutriution is kept in. I've also been encouraged to buy a Breville. I forgot the model number, but it was 700 watts. Any suggestions?! Please help.

Boston Market --- is it "still" good?
I say this because in high school I LOVED the chicken carver sandwich with a side of mac 'n cheese and 2 pieces of cornbread. I used to play hoop and this really hit the spot after practice.

Is a low-carb diet still LC if you eat 1 slice of toast/day?
By low-carb, I just mean I don't eat grains. I eat plenty of carby fruit, veggies & sometimes potatoes. When I start eating grains, I pack on belly fat, feel sluggish & become carb-obsessive (I crave jam, Nutella, maple syrup, ice cream, more bread and eat multiple bowls of cereal a day). It doesn't matter if it's whole…
