Has anyone tried juicing before? I am curious to try it, I have heard a lot about it and watched a few documentaries. Any advice? Is it worth trying?

haha juicing. I'm guessing your talking about drinking some kind of hippie fruity drink as opposed to what most bodybuilding/fitness peeps know "juicing" to be. Sorry to lol but just made me chuckle at the thought of you openly asking myfitnesspal members if they'd hopped on "dat dere". But yeah, give juicing a go, juice is good... as long as you consume the other 1500 cals along with it0

Trying for what exactly?0

i would say it's not worth trying if it's all u plan to consume. this comes from first hand experience. i said i was going to do it for 10 days. i lasted 3 with awful stomach cramps headaches and just exhaustion. it is pointless. u might loss a few lbs but gain it back as soon as u eat solid food. that and i learned i hate vegetable juice. no thanks0

Juicing is great to supplement your intake. On its own, it's stupid expensive, wasteful, and won't give you enough calories to function (if you plan on just consuming juice for a set period of time).0

As far as fruit juice goes, I just don't get it at all. If I want to drink my calories, it better be a freakin latte.0 -

This. Surviving on juice alone won't give you the protein, fat, or calories you need, and it's crazy expensive. I drink fresh juice occasionally, and the juice place I go to sells a 1200 calorie juice plan (bare minimum) for $62 a day. A DAY.
Making your own juice will take tons of produce and all of your time. Ever cleaned a juicer? Imagine 6-8 times a day.

Juicing can be beneficial. And does not cost 62 a day! Lol! Um that is the price you pay for the convenience of having a business do it for you. But it does take up a bit of produce. I have juice fasted before but it is n9t truly meant to be more than a week. You can pm me for any questions you have.0

I have a juicer and love fresh grapefruit juice in the summer. I also make other juices from time to time especially when fruit is in season and cheap. I make veggie blends too. I do it because I like the juice. Sometimes I will have the juice as a meal but that is because I have gotten full on juice (rare but happens). I juice simply for the taste.
I have juiced vegetables to use to start a soup base. Here is a caution: don't juice an onion! Learn from my misery.0 -

Juicing can be beneficial in getting a wide spread of nutrients in liquid form
Nutrients you could just, ya know, chew
If you like juice drink it
It does not aid weight loss in any way0 -

My mum does a juicing diet once in a while. She says she isn't hungry while she does it and she tends to lose 7-10lbs in a couple of weeks. She does it when there is a big event coming up.
My major warning to you is that she ALWAYS puts the weight back on and these days she is larger than she has ever been. Read into that what you will. It's not a sustainable way of eating. She has to really plan when she does it so she will be near home and able to make the juices and has the ingredients. All so much work and therefore impossible to sustain.0 -
You can get a ton of nutrients from juicing if you use it as a supplement to solid food, but I prefer making smoothies. Smoothies require less product to make the same quantity, so you can get more bang for your buck. You also get to keep that filling fiber. I add Greek yogurt and almond milk to my smoothies, which adds a lot of protein and makes me feel full. I see smoothies as a nice, tasty snack that satisfies sweet cravings while providing the nutrients I need.
But I would never try to subsist on a smoothie or juice alone. Most likely you won't feel satiated, and will go back to solid food quickly. Your better off managing your calories to create a deficit while eating normal food, and throwing in smoothies or juice as a healthy treat.0
