Juicing

I don't juice specifically for weight loss or anything, but when I want juice I juice my own fresh veggies and fruit instead of buying bottled juice. My all time favorite juice, my mom used to make this for me every weekend, its carrots, celery, apple, and beet. It's delicious! I also really like cabbage juice with apple. Basically, 1/2 head of green cabbage and 1 apple, I like juicing honeycrisps.

I have a juicer but I hate the clean-up that comes with this one in particular. Can anybody recommend one with easy cleanup? I'd like to juice regularly but not with the one I currently have. It's a pain!

are the cheap ones worth it? or do you need to buy an expensive one?

What do you currently have? I have a Breville that disassembles into 4 parts in under 30 seconds; scrub the blade/strainer bowl with included brush, everything else rinses off. Run the parts through dishwasher or some soapy water, rinse and it's ready to go.

Juicing is the same thing as being a Vegan. Omit all dairy products and oils, especially salad dressing. Add some Tofu and peanuts for protein and it's the same diet. No need to buy a juicer unless you really feel the need to drink your food.

Absolutely! Basically 5 days a week I have green juice (lettuce or celery, kale, apple, lemon - the lemon is really important to deal with the greeny taste - makes all the difference.) for breakfast and lunch. about 16oz each time - that's 310 calories each, and really really good calories. That's all till dinner. Never feel tired or shaky, have tons of energy. It's soooooo good for you. Go for it!

Hello, my name is Judy and I will comment on the juicing issue: The best I ever felt was when I juiced for a week. Unfortunately, I had been operated on for weight loss and this wasn't something I should have done because my heart did something odd and I ended up in the E.R. I found out that juicing gives your vital organs a rest and a lot of good benefits comes from doing this instead of eating dead food. In 15 minutes the fresh juice gets to your cellular level giving your cells a "Happy Moment" and probably a surprise to boot. We eat too much meat which is difficult to digest and as we get older, we loose some of the gastric juices we need to grind up the food. Some people do this as a cleanse so the liver and other organs can filter better. You can do this to whatever level your body will tolerate. Personally I feel a couple 8oz. glasses of fresh juice a day would benefit the average person. I went on an all raw diet once, lost 25 lbs., my acne cleared up, I could see clearer, my energy went out the roof and no more sinus issues. So, just be careful and don't over do it. Start out slow. I enjoy apple, celery, cucumber and a little beat together. I really like carrot juice but it is a bit high in natural sugar and wouldn't want to over do. Any how, just a few pointers. Everyone keep up the good work. Judy In Virginia

I have a jack lalene power juicer, takes me less than 5 minutes to clean it up and put it away. I don't juice consistently, I'd love to do a juice fast sometime when my husband is out of town, but for now I just drink it for breakfast or as a snack. I do juice a lot more during my period since it seems to help with the bloat

Lettuce isn't really worth juicing, juice kale instead.
