Juicing?

SMH at the number of juice threads lately...

I like to eat my fruits and vegetables. They make me feel fuller longer than juice and the fiber is good for my system.

There is a sequel to Fat Sick and Nearly Dead out. I'm thinking that has something to do with it.

Ahhh. I guess that means that we should brace ourselves.

Juicing is very beneficial as blending. You have to reuse and recycle. I juice and the left over pulp I turn in to a blending shake (fiber) for later in the day (only with some recipes). I just started and I enjoy it, it makes eating veggies easier for me and my husband who wouldn't eat them otherwise.

It just adds a different variety of food to my menu, and different texture. Juicing is absorbed faster then blending and digestion is quick.

I only do it once a day either for breakfast, lunch or dinner and still eat and enjoy whole foods. Juicing is a very good diuretic and you will be urinating a lot. Juicing can be expensive, especially at first to invest in a good juicer. I get my fruit and veggies at Costco, enough veggies and fruits to juice and blend for ten days was about $40. Not bad you have to just find what you like.

I love juicing although I have never done a reboot, I feel that it gives me energy and nutrients I'm not eating love fat sick and nearly dead and hungry for a change they motivate me to stay on track

I don't see juicing as a way to cure anything; I see it as a way to get in your vitamins and minerals from vegetables that you wouldn't normally ever eat. I have to use willpower to make myself eat vegetables, but I can make a really tasty veggie juice that I'll drink down in 10 seconds that will contain that I'm not getting from the rest of my diet.

Also, two of my good friends were both able to get off of their high blood pressure medication, just from adding juicing to their daily regimen. They changed nothing else. There are many, many stories just like theirs.

The juice fasting part is crap, there's no need to consume just juice. Ya'll have to realize that some people just don't like to eat vegetables. Telling these people not to juice is not helpful at all. I get plenty of fiber in my diet from fruit, beans, whole grains and nuts. I don't need the added fiber from vegetables. I do need the additional nutrients that are abundant in certain vegetables that the rest of my diet isn't strong in.

As Joe Cross says "Juice on!"

The blending shake sounds disgusting, but if you like it why not just have a smoothie? You get both in one.

Of course, I highly recommend just learning to like vegetables, which are perfectly tasty, especially if properly cooked.

Not sure why super quick digestion is supposed to be a plus. Don't people normally go on about how slowing down digestion is some big benefit?

I have a juicer and, to be honest, I dont like using it. As others have alluded to, you throw a lot of valuable stuff out with a juicer.

I got a Nutribullet for my birthday and have used it nearly every day for the last two months. I would highly recommend it over juicing. Every morning I start off with a couple handfuls of spinach, a banana, plain/fat free greek yogurt, strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, and oatmeal. It's delicious and there's nothing to be thrown away.

I did an 80 day juice fast. I cured my thyroid problems and lost waist I didn't even know was in there. I CURED myself. No more meds no more fast weight gain or tiredness. I feel really good. I've lost almost 80 pounds now and can keep up with my active husband and two little girls. I sleep better and look better too. Living example that more people should do a juice fast. Better then being sick all the time. Better then being fat. Right?
