Fat sick and nearly dead.

I liked the documentary. I don't have a juicer, nor am I planning on buying one. I try to incorporate fruits and veggies in my diet daily. To get some extra greens in, I put a few handfuls of kale or spinach in my protein shakes with some frozen strawberries, protein powder, and almond milk. I use it as pre/post workout shake. It is delicious! It has helped curb my late night cravings.

I think Juicing should only be used on rare occasions as a detox. You know.. After a week long vacation of crap food and alcohol. To me, a healthy diet is one that can be maintained for a lifetime. Juicing is not something that you can sustain yourself on. It is expensive and you can get the same nutrients from eating the fruit and veggie as a whole for a whole lot less money.

Not sure if srs. What would you be detoxing exactly? What advantage does this have over your body's natural detoxification process? How does this "juice" "detox" exactly?

I think people here are missing the point.

The point of juicing is for people that otherwise wouldn't eat massive amounts of green leafy vegetables and colorful veggies and fruits... to well... consume them somehow.

I just CAN'T eat a pig's trough full of greens each day. I just won't. I can eat a large salad bowl, and do sometimes, but not a 2 gallon bowl. So I have learned to consume those fruits and veggies in green smoothies.

But for some, the consistency of all that extra fiber is too much. Or it messes with their digestion. For those people, I would say juice...

Is a pure juice diet sustainable? Of course not. Would a 10 day juice fast followed up with a 5 day per week "juice only" lunch be a great way for people to eat WAY more veggies/fruit, consume less calories, and get the nicronutrients from a raw food kind of diet?

ABSOLUTELY.

Check out my profile and open diary for how I usually eat 3-4 days worth of about 64 ounces of green smoothies. I've been doing green smoothies for workdays for 2 years. I'm not thin obviously... but it's helped me from being twice as huge.

Hey people, juicing has its purpose -- have you ever tried pouring vodka into a whole apple?!

I juiced a 24 oz New York Strip steak, a loaded baked potato, and two slices of Texas Toast before I ate them last night, and I did not gain a pound. It has to work.

haha! I am picturing you juicing a steak...hahahaha!!!

Makes me wanna juice soo bad. I love that documentary. It's so inspiring. Has anyone on here gone on a juice fast and seen results like his?

Why juice it? Just eat the stuff.....This whole juicing thing is really kind of crazy......as if turning it into juice somehow magically transforms the nutrients into muscle building/fat burning/energy restoring magic molecules.

Actually, instead of juicing Jac i did "AIRING" i turned my food into air and ate that. I lost 101lbs in a 4,000 a day calorie diet of air.

How does one track their macros with airing?

I wrote it down in invisible ink.

Duh, naturally. I should have thought it out first. :P

That $tuff right there is funny!

Anyway..saw FSND, owe a juicer. No I don't use meal replacement. However, I do use my juicer to increase my intake of clean, unprocessed vegetables when snaking is unrealistic i.e. @ work or school.

I have noticed an increase in energy and awareness, without the crash that comes from caffeine, sugars and starches. Over the past past year I have tried a million different ways to increase veg intake from adding kale/spinach and other vegetable to my protein shakes, but found the grit disgusting; or trying to carry snacks only to find there was no opportune time to eat them. For me, juicing has created a way to supplement my diet with additional veg.

^ ^ Haha
