Juice Fast?

ShrinkingLauren88

I just watched "Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead" last night. (you should watch it too!)

i've wanted a juicer for some time now, next paycheck i think I might get one. So my questions are:

1. has anyone tried a juice fast or juicing along with healthy meals?
2. does it have to be a top of the line juicer? or are the average priced ones the same?

i really want to try juicing because I could get more fruits and veggies in, along with detox benefits. (i've been getting sick with EVERYTHING lately)

anyone had any experiences with juicing?

I watched the video numerous time and got more inspired each time. I love my juicer, which is what is used in the video. I tried another one before and on the second try it stopped working. It was a hassle to ship it back but I did and got the full credit. My Breville has as impressive motor and has taken everything I've put in it. I paid around $150 for it.

I am not the type that can juice for every meal. I tried that a couple days ago and by dinner I was getting a headache along with being weak. I decided that I would incorporate the juice into my meals along with solid foods. That has really helped. I only juice veggies with an apple thrown in to offset the bitterness of greens, and half a lemon to stop colors from changing. I haven't used the pulp in any recipes as my meals have adequate fiber.

I can honestly say I have felt better since I started. I don't feel I need to eat massive amounts of veggies anymore which leaves me time to concentrate on the rest of my meal.

Good luck!
