Just started juicing in NW Ohio

I tried juicing my pizza once. I had to buy a new blender so I quit.

Wait. Juicing "haters"? What the wut?

I'd stay away from the steroids. They're just no good for you.

Those of us that don't want to eat through a straw until our teeth fall out and we're bed ridden in diapers. Highly unlikely to happen to those of us who generally move more and eat less.

Look OP, if it works for you then go with it. Just make sure that you're also eating food and getting enough fiber, protein and fat.

Thank you. I didn't know what a juicing hater was. But your definition doesn't explain why that lady thought there are haters who are trolls? That just sounds like a difference in philosophy to me. Like some people won't drink milk, or don't eat sugar, or think they will die if they drink diet soda. I wouldn't consider them "haters" - just misinformed.

And a "troll" is entirely different, right? Aren't trolls sly and witty and sneaky in a funny kind of silly way? Not in a hating way.

I think she was uninformed about that too.

OP, good luck with your juicing. I am certainly not a juicing hater. In fact, I have done some juicing in my day. I agree with BeachIron that you still need to get whole foods, fiber and protein, but as a supplemental food it is fun and delicious. :flowerforyou:

If you'd read my blog post you'd see that I'm on a doctor approved 60-day juice fast because my health is so bad the doc says the weight has to come of NOW. Once the 60 days is up I will ease back into eating solid foods in a more healthy manner. I believe the internet definition of a "troll" is anyone who disagrees with the focus of a group but joins just to post negative crap. I joined the group looking for tips & positive reinforcement, not people who don't understand the journey I'm on and think that THEIR path is the only right one for all.

No. That's not a definition of a troll. Disagreeing and posting opinions on a public forum =/= trolling.

FYI- there are groups on MFP dedicated to juicing. You could try advertising your blog there if you don't want comments in regards to how juicing didn't work for people attempting to substitute meals with it rather than adding as part of meal.

Wait...is juicing different in NW Ohio than in other parts of Ohio, like SW, SE, NE, WW, EE, SS, or NN Ohio?

Or california?

Here it's easy you go to juice stop or jamba juice and it's on.

Best of luck with your 2 month juice fast. If it was me, I'd find a new doctor.

Agreed. I'd seek a second opinion from a registered dietitian.

When I felt I needed to lose weight fast and coerced, convinced, strangleheld my Dr to make them let me do the Dr approved diet that they prescribed to their overweight patients it was not a juice fast it was shakes shakes and nothing but shakes. Like chalk shakes. I got edged out of that anyways be people who were much larger and resented my being in there as my injury was not a result of my weight but vice versa. Good luck with your fast though. :flowerforyou:
