Sounds funny to say that! Curious... do you juice (as in, with a juicer?) I'm trying to learn more... I've been vegan for almost 2 years, veg before that. I've been toying with the idea of a Juicer lately... but don't know anyone who uses one. Not sure if I'd like / use it. I do love my kitchen toys... and cook ALL the time. Dehydrator... VitaMix... you name it. I do have some toys, though, that sit idle. And I don't want to buy a Juicer to be idle.
So - any thoughts are appreciated!!
I havent used my vitamix to juice but i believe it can also do that. Yeah ive been juicing greens in particular for years and they have helped myself. Choose a juicer that retains some of the fiber though or add a little of a fiber source to slow down the absorption of the sugars. Pure fructose has been shown to be an implicating factor in non alcoholic fatty liver disease.
i LOVE juicing and i do it all the time!!
About half of the time i'll buy a whole heap of stuff for juicing, and the other half I juice just to use up fruit and veg that is starting to go limp. It's a great way to use up every little thing that you have in the fridge and fruit bowl!
Green juices are great - you pretty much use all kinds of green goodness and then add an apple, melon or something sweet to it to make it taste nice
Hey! I have not juiced yet but I really want to! My boyfriend and I just watched a documentary called "fat,sick, and nearly dead"...and it was really good. This guy juices for 60 days (he was quite overweight) and goes on a roadtrip encouraging others to eat fruits and veggies. Afterwards, my boyfriend (who is not vegan and is very veggie picky) wanted to buy a juicer and start this! He wants to eat more fruits and veggies and less meat, and I think this is a good way to get them, even ones you dont really like.
I have a friend who is on day 34 of the juice diet from that documentary. He has had nothing but juice and looks fantastic. He was not vegan before this but wants to be after he finishes in Sept. He is doing the entire 60 days to fully detox.
I just got the omega 8003 today! I'll let you know how it goes! A single gear or double gear is better than a centrifugal. Omega is a single gear masticating juicer. Centrifigals are the ones you get at the departments stores.
I tried it but really don't drag it all out that often. I usually just eat the whole fruit/veggie but it does taste good :)
