Juicing anyone

[ohMom]

is there anyone here who juices? I watched Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead and am considering juicing for a short while. And then using it as a way to get nutrition on the days when either my daughter or myself are having trouble eating due to chronic illness which makes our appetite low.

just a shout out for suggestions/advice? TIA!

I.watched the documentary and found it to be very inspiring. One of the best things I have ever done for my health was the three week program outlined in the book Clean.by. Alejanndro Junger. I now drink a smoothie or juice every morning and it has given me.so much energy and has made a chronic health program go away. The good thing about the program is that you eat real food while juicing so you don't feel deprived. I highly recommend it!

I started juicing last week. My personal trainer gave me a simple recipe and it's working well. We have Produce Junction, a discounted produce store where I can get huge bags of produce super cheap.

Anyway, I wash my produce when I bring it home, cut it up and pre-measure ingredients and put them in bags so I just open a bag and put it in my juicer.

I am juicing with 3 carrots, 1 celery, 1 gala apple, small (less than the size of the tip of my thumb) piece of fresh ginger and 1 cup spinach. I do this once a day and it tastes surprisingly...okay. I'm bad about getting in my daily veggies and this is one way to make up for my lacking diet.

I don't feel any different, other than pride in eating healthier. It probably takes some time before I'll notice a change in my energy.

I have a juicer but don't really know how to juice effectively. I would love to do a short juice detox every few weeks but whenever I try Google searches I find tons of garbage. It is hard to weed out the good info.
