THinking about buying a juicer to start juicing?!?

i have the Nutribullet and man that thing is amazing!!!!

I have one sitting in my cabinet collecting dust, if you'd like to buy it. It's a lot cheaper just to buy juice ready-made.

we bought one, and would love to use it more, but for the amount of juice you get from most fruits makes it too expensive per glass of juice, but the biggest pit fall it the amount of cleaning time every time you use it .. so make sure whichever one you pick its easy to clean. ours breaks into about 5 parts and some bits are a real pain to clean ...

I think I have the same one and it's an absolute pain to clean. All those tiny little holes? And the filters that you have to buy for it don't help at all. I have to use a vegetable brush to clean them out and they're still clogged.

Juicing is not meant to replace meals. Juicing does it work at the cellular level in our bodies. I am working with a personal trainer and asked him about juicing and this is how he explained it. Juicing gives you all those micro nutrients that gets directly into our cells and that is where the magic happens as far as health, vitality and energy. When you feed the body on the cellular levels everything improves. I juice once in the AM. I make 40 oz of juice and put it in 8 oz mason jars and have a serving 5 times through out the day. The improvements are too many to even mention but everything from fuel for my workouts to my skin, hair and nails.

I make a green juice using cucumber, kale, spinach, celery, romaine,broccoli and half an apple. I keep the green content very high and keep the sugar content very low. I could not eat this many vegetables in a day. I would be eating all day long continuously not to mention the bathroom end of things.

Another note on the benefits of juicing, my sister was diagnosed with follicular lymphoma (incurable) in November. She read Chris Karr's book, Crazy Sexy Diet. The title makes you think that the girl doing the writing might have been a stripper or something but quite the contrary, she was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer and change her prognosis all through her diet and one of her strongest weapons was juicing. My sister had never juiced a day in her life. She followed the green juice recipe for 6 weeks and had another round of tests that was going to determine if she was going to have to start a chemo treatment. Her tumors had not grown and their metabolic activity had diminished by half. The only changes she made in her diet was that she started juicing, ate more dark green vegetables, cut way back on dairy and red meat. Her doctor told her that all those things had an effect but that he felt the juicing probably had the greatest benefits as those nutrients are used on a cellular level.

Not trying to give hoscience here just an experience that I know about first hand and I know that I feel 150 times better on a day that I drink my juice than a day that I don't (which those don't happen anymore).

Juicing is an investment in me. I did my research and purchased a slow auger juicer the Omega Vert. The omega uses an extraction process that does not make the juice get hot so therefore you get juice with the active enzymes intact and that is what you need. I read that some juicers (centrifugal) work in a way that heats the juice up and that you don't want to get the full benefit of the nutrients. My juicer was $347 at Bed Bath & Beyond and I had one of their 20% off coupons. The really good juicers never go on sale. I got mine for about $275. Omega gives a 10 year warranty on their products.

YMMV but for me juicing is an important part of my plan.
