are you a juicer?

I just watched 'Fat Sick and Nearly Dead' and am inspired.

I don't eat many fruits and veggies so I'm especially intrigued; I'm pretty healthy and exercise regularly and eat well for the most part so I don't see myself juice fasting but rather just adding juice drinks to my daily diet.

Does anyone juice regularly?  Has it had a big impact on your health?  I'd definitely like to feel more energetic

 

 

 

Re: are you a juicer?

  • DH and I have been juicing everyday for two months now, and we are so happy we decided to go that route. I can't believe how much energy it has given me. Every morning we drink 2-3 stocks of kale, and red kale, 2-3 carrots, some ginger (I have asthma), some lime (to counter the kale) and an apple. I love buying random fruits from the store and when I have a sweet tooth juicing those. I juiced a blood orange the other day it was amazing. I'm pretty small to begin with, (5'4 and 105) so my goal wasn't to lose weight, just to feel more energized. I've found that I poop a lot more now, and my poops are healthier (tmi ^.^) Sometimes I will have like 4-5 hours of amazing energy and it is nice because there isn't a crashing feeling after. I highly recommend it!!
  • We do juicing (in addition to food) every now and again for a boost. It really brightens my complexion and I always get comments on how sparkly my eyes get when I do juice. Energy definitely increases too.

    We juice red cabbage, carrots, celery, cucumber, lemon, apple, ginger etc. all in different combinations.

  • Thank you for the feedback!  More energy and better poops (ha) are reason enough for me to give it a try.  Is there a website you use for recipes or just throw stuff in? I'm worried without recipes I'll make stuff that isn't drinkable and give up.

  • There are plenty of recipes on the internet, but we pretty much just throw in whatever is in the fridge. Remember, carrots, berries, and other fruits are great maskers of flavor (and should be used in that order). 

     In our experience, juices always smell far worse then they actually taste.
