Curious, is anyone Juicing?

For you juicers.....did you get the raw mouth/burning sensation?

I only drink one green drink a day and am noticing that when I eat almonds now, my tongue feels raw, other foods too. It has gotten better over the past few days, but just wondering if this is the "detox" thing I keep reading about?

I am not sure if it is part of the "detox" but your juice could either be to acidic (that makes my mouth a little raw) or you could be semi-allergic to something in your juice. I would just play around to see if it gets better.

Hope I helped :flowerforyou:

In reply to ljbennett's post-

I started juicing about 4 weeks ago. I love it. I usually just have one for breakfast and then eat healthy meals for lunch and dinner. My morning juice consists of cucumber, romaine, celery, parsley, lemon, apple, carrot, ginger, kale and spinach. Took me a while to get used to drinking "green drinks" but I love it now! Definitely helps wake me up in the morning. You can experiment with lots of different mixes. I would just make sure to use mostly vegetables, with a fruit or two mixed in.

I do one similar to this recipe only without the ginger. I add broccoli and it sure is green, but really yummy. Definitely do some experimenting. Good luck!

I started a thread awhile back about this after watching Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead at the recommendation of my mom, aunt and uncle. I haven't done it yet; however, they have. Although, I have seen no weight changes in them as of yet, they claim they have more energy and feel better physically, and mentally than they were before juicing.

I was trying to find a palatable recipe to include beets because beets have tons of great nutrition but they smell like my grandfathers basement after he ate a can of peanuts so I found one in the big book of juices and I tweaked it a bit.

1 small apple
1 small orange
1/2 beet
1 celery stalk
3 carrots
2 large kale leaves

It was good, the apple and orange definitely helped hide the flavor of the beet.

Thanks ArtGeek22, I think I figured it out. I am going to experiment this week and I think its related to the Ginger root (too much). Live and learn I guess :happy:

Oh, yes to much ginger is terrible! Whenever I use ginger, the most I use is about 1 inch of ginger. Also, if you use things like kale and don't care for the taste to much, use lime and/or lemon. It really cuts the taste and give it a zing

Oh man I thought this was a ROIDS posting.... Hmmmm... looks left, looks right..... slowly back at the door, turns around and runs!!!!!!

we own a juicer but have slacked cause of the price of fruts and veggys here duringthe winter.... im commenting to i can come back and look at all the juicer ideas....it is great way to get a metter balanced diet..thank you for your post

Fat, Sick and nearly dead was the best thing i ever came across on netflix! im planning on buying a juicer next week and starting aswell. i might do the 10 day reboot just to get my body getting used to it. but its definetly worth it to help me get enough nutrients everyone should watch that movie

The 10 Day Reboot is what I did. I'm coming up on my next reboot soon. I love it, I had so much energy and was just eating veggies and juices.

I am new to juicing and some questions - if anyone wants to give an opinion it is welcomed.
I love my new juice and have been been drinking a juice every morning for the last 6 days. On some days I have had a pick me up green drink in the afternoon. I do the vegetables for me - with one apple added and the fruit with one vegetable added for my husband. (he is getting used to it ( LOL) . I have noticed that the drink feels me up in the morning and I no longer starving by lunch.


Now about the pulp. It was a little unsettling to me to see all the left over - pulp. Surelly there must be a use for it. I have read alot about it , the uses of the pulp or not to use the pulp at all. I puchased all organic and I cleaned the vegetables. Again I hated to throw out the pulp so I used it in homemade chicken stock and it was very good. I have gotten other ideas too. I actually added the fruit pulp to my husbands protein shake and he loved it. Does anyone have opinion on this?


Thanks

Sounds like a great use for it, and if you don't want to do that, you can add it to a compost pile and that will be some fabulous soil.

Just another FAD that has FAIL written all over it if done exclusively or for a "cleanse"

Yes juicing is great. I did the www.jointhereboot.com for 14 days I would do it again. I really opened me up to a whole new experience. However I now will only do it for 3 days now that I am too close to goal weight. This is also time consuming and you have to be prepared for juicing and for healthy planning. It is a good place to start, or even to get recipes.
