    There's nothing wrong with Juicing. The guidelines of what you can eat/blend are very similar to being a Vegan and it's not a true fast since you're eating food. Just try not to put too many sugary fruits in your juice and you should be fine.

    As someone who eats fairly close to a vegan diet, I'm gunna go ahead and say no. Juicing cuts out a lot of the fiber and other things. Plus you can't juice all my yummy CARBS

    How does Juicing cut out fiber and carbs? I'm pretty sure that the person making a the juice is not filtering out all the carbs and fiber contained in vegetables? Does it magically disappear?

    yeah it does. When you juice, you get the juice. All the (or most of the) fiber gets left behind... all that pulp in the juicer that's left over that you throw out.

    If you want get to the nutrients from these fruits and vegetables, just eat them.

    And you can't juice pasta so .....

    Most juicers so seperate the juice from the pulp. Not all though I believe.

    So if you don't filter out all the pulp, you're fine? Is there a legal requirement that one must throw out the pulp? Pulp police?

    You is now the stuff that needs to be cleaned out? That is the fiber.

    Vegans have many sources of protein that are not available by juicing.

    Where's all the protein?

    It just seems to me that juicing is for people that typically just don't eat fruits and vegetables. For some reason they think that drinking them is some sort of cure all. They go out buy a bunch of produce and juice it.... drink it and feel amazing.... when in reality is they would have just eat all that produce they would feel just as amazing.

    :tongue:

    courtneylee, you might consider green smoothies once a day as an alternative if you really want to try something like this. That way you get all the fiber from your fruits and veggies. I try to incorporate leafy greens into my diet but am not always successful. Adding kale, spinach, collards, etc to a green smoothie is a great way to get your greens in. I blend whatever greens I want with a banana, some frozen berries, and maybe a yellow bell pepper or some frozen green beans with a cup or so of water. Just remember that you need to chew the green smoothie before you swallow to get some saliva going with it for good digestion.

    Is there a special nutrient that Vegans can get that Juicers can not get?
