Sorry, I'm so obviously missing something here....
Why not get one of those ninja juicer things that allow you to get the nutrients from the pulp??0 -

"1. Blend pulp into a smoothie to add fiber.
2. Add to a soup to thicken and boost fiber and nutrient density.
3. Use fruit pulp to make frozen “pulpsicles” or fruit pulp ice.
4. Make a veggie broth by boiling pulp with water, herbs, and spices, then straining.
5. Make a “fruit tea” by boiling fruit pulp with water, adding spices such as cinnamon or ginger, cooling, and then straining.
6. Use veggie pulp to add nutrient density to mac n’ cheese or pasta sauce, or layer into a lasagne.
7. Make fabulous fruit leathers.
9. Use in homemade veggie burgers or fritters. Pulp adds moisture, flavor, and nutrition.
10. Mix pulp into baked goods like muffins, cakes, bread, dehydrated or baked cookies, and granola bars. Celery, onion, carrot, sweet potato, spinach, apple, and berry all work beautifully.
11. Use fruit or veggie pulp to add flavor, texture, and moisture to pancakes.
12. Make dehydrated pulp crackers.
13. Use pulp for raw pizza crust.
14. Make pulp marmalade.
15. Make a pulp crumble by mixing pulp with fruit and juice, reducing, and then topping with oats, spices, nuts, or seeds.
16. Dehydrate and make trail mix with raw nuts, seeds, and dried fruits.
17. Dehydrate and use like bread crumbs.
18. Use in DIY skincare recipes like scrubs, masks, and soap.
19. Mix pulp into your dog’s food or make dog treats.
If all else fails:
20. Feed it to your chickens, freeze it in ice cube trays to use later, or compost it."
I get my fiber from the FOOD that I EAT. But if you are not wanting to waste any part of what you are juicing, there are numerous ways to not waste!
wouldn't it be easier to just eat the pulp with the fruit/vegetables than save it for later for these 20 things?0 -

omg I agree. I really don't get it at all. I've always thought juicing was eating/drinking the WHOLE fruit or vegetable. I love orange juice, but I don't bother with it as I'd rather eat the whole thing, because I need that fibre!!

And, besides you have to use the pulp right away because otherwise it will go bad.0 -
But, I thought this thread was about juice fasting....I'm gonna need more popcorn.0

You appear to have not seen the one hour long juicer infomercial than spawned a cult of pseudoscience following.

Well congrats on your 80 pounds. One of my biggest diet challenges is sugar cravings and me drinking a green juice most mornings gives my body what it needs and curbs cravings for unhealthy food allowing for most of my intake to be fruits and vegetables, chicken and fish, nuts and seeds, and certain grains. I eat a very balanced diet and maintain a healthy lifestyle that for me includes making my own juice.

I have several qualifications in nutrition. The idea was to point out the site rules, but then get you to question and think about the choices you were making and long term sustainability and the benefits of alternatives.
Unfortunately we got threadjacked.

So, in the movie "Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead" , does anyone know how he got fat? Was from over eating fruits & veggies? Is that why he decided to juice them?0

I get what you're saying about being able to drink the juice, with nutrients, from a variety of sources, all in one glass. Yay that.
I've thought of juicing some spinach in with things I like so that I can work the spinach in. I do fine with spinach mixed into other foods, just can't eat the fresh leaves - so bitter!
I'm not against a glass of freshly juiced items. Better than soda.
Lots of people drink protein shakes, so why not juice?
It's not curing any illness, though...and fasting isn't necessary or very healthy. A day won't do you much, if any, harm, but as a regular thing - avoid it.0 -
My roommate just bought a juicer and he's been making some really delicious juice mixes primarily with veggies. It hadn't occurred to me to use the pulp, but I think I might try boiling it for some veggie stock. Thanks, guys!
For those who juice regularly, how do you log it? Do you just weigh the veggies and fruits before juicing and ignore the fact that you're removing half of the weight and a lot of the nutrients?0 -

There's a formula that takes into account the calories that fiber adds, I don't know it off the top of my head.0 -
I typically juice a bag of spinach, a lemon, 4 apples, 4 celery stalks, ginger, and cilantro. All of which have nutrients in them. Juicing them does not make them magically have more nutrients but it does allow me to get a larger portion of fruits in veggies in one drink that I can have in the morning. Dark leafy greens are very nutrient dense and I'm pretty sure I couldn't eat an entire bag of spinach in a day. I also eat my greens and other fruits and vegetables. So, I stand by my claim that drinking a juice that I make and I know exactly what is in it adds to the amount of nutrients that I take into my body in any given day. I do not buy juice, I do not participate in any gimmick diets. I have lost 60 pounds over 2 years through good diet and exercise alone.
Juicing is the current gimmick lol.

can't you just cook the spinach? raw spinach is boring to me. or did you mean you don't like it even when cooked?
i mix it with mushrooms and blue cheese lately. it's awesome.0
