You are right, kwan, carrot juice is super yummy! Do you have Jamba Juice in your area? THey make fresh squeezed OJ and carrot, or, - YUMM - mixed OJ and CJ. I really like the treat of not having to juice myself, hehe. The Power size is actually a really good deal (5$) for that huge thing (30 ounces)...
not organic, though

Geez, I dont have the patience for that nutmilk thing. I get cramps in my hand and barely any juice. We have a hydraulic press, which doesnt do the greatest job with most smoothies either. I really commend you for doing it this way, aloe. While I juice I try to load the juice up with good energies. When squeezing that bag you can do that even more directly!!
Heal up quickly and no pain!

Hi juicy gals, you are doing so awesome!!!
Im on day 36 today. A few days ago I drank some green juice and got a little nauseous from it. Since then I have a real hard time with the greens. Drinking loads of fruit and carrot juice though - my eyes are soooo clear. Oh, and my cellulite has almost disappeared! (I wasnt even going for that, but hey!) Total weight loss is a bit disappointing (15 p

Go for it. I am just doing an extended juice feast and it's very helpful.
I van relate to the anger about iatrogenic health issues. I'm in a similar boat with my endocrine system and other issues brought on by a therapy gone awry. I'm officially off all meds as of five days. The juicefeast had a lot to do with it. Best wishes to you

Jodi, great list!
To me preparation is also key, just to not allow to get too hungry. Interestingly I am no longer interested at all to eat certain foods (wheat, dairy, sugats, processed, meat, any kind of grains) so my challenge is overeating rather than staying on course (which right now is a juice feast, but usually is a low fat high raw grainfree 'live-et' .)

I have been reading a lot of great stuff about carrot juice in norman Walkers book on Raw veggie juices. Blood builder, purifier, strngthens the liver, helps detox and immunity etc. Wondering about the glycemic index of it, though, and high sugar content. Do you do any greens at all?
I just had cellery, apple, pear ginger lemon. YUMM!
And I mushed up a peach in my greenstar. It comes drippi

Manolie, there are many benefits in giving the digestive system a rest from its hard work. Also, there are synergistic benefits in drinking certain juice combinations. (THere is a great book by Norman Walker on Raw Juices that talks about fresh fruit and vegetable juices and their benefits). Lastly, water fasting has extremely strong healing powers for certain diseases (Joel Fuhrman's book on fas

Hi all, really enjoying the reads. I am on day 34 today. I had waaaaay too much juice today, boy, must have been close to two gallons. All great juices, though, super high quality. A lot of orange/carrot, though, which really gives me a sugar crash.
I was travelling over the course of four days, whcih was really hard. I had my hand crank juicer with me but the nature of the travel allowed no

I read about a recipe somewhere where folks turned it into some sort of 'ryce' (raw rice). Anyone know how to do that? Sounds interesting....

I take it in water. You have to work up o it, it tastes pretty strong. At its core its a malty kind of flavor. I dont like it in smoothies.
My hubby cant digest it at all, he says too many ingredients. I am using it right now as an emergency energy supply as I am on a juice feast and juicing is not always possible on travel days.
And yeah, that stuff i spricey!!

Mom had one kinda similar to this thirty years ago. It still works!! How does it do with mushy fruit? Can it juice them okay? (meaning reasonably pulp free)?
Hey, juice up a storm!!

77. Re: hair loss
Recommended is to get all four shampoos and the conditionee and rotate them. Also recommended is to brush with a natural brush.
I don't think the hairloss n the beginning of going raw is a sign of a deficiency, but rather going hand in hand with weightloss, detox, renewal. I would venture he guess that hairloss after a year would be indicative of deficiency. The initial shedding when going ra

Right now I'm juicefastng while travelling and got nothing but orange juice and vita mineral green. Without it I couldn't do it. Vitamineral green is theclosest to a green juice I can think of, benefits of alkalinity, minerals, protein. Tastes great too.

79. Re: hair loss
I dilute them and they passt for awhile. My hair has never been so thick and happy. Warning: these shampoos do not foam, so it takes some getting used to using them. To use them also only makes sense if no other hairproduct is used at all.

Tamuhka, any explanation of why the cooked veggies were harder on you than the cooked grains? I dont do grains at all anymore (for years), but I do think that I will go back to steamed veggies when this juice fast is over.
THanks for the info

WY, I have stalled in my weightloss for over a week now. Frustrating. I guess I need to reduce the fruits and go more green. I am planning on doing a few days of water only as well wile I am travelling. How to prevent weight regain afterwards? At the moment I am planning to just eat what I am juicing now, with the added fiber, things should be okay, me thinks?

Rawie,
thanks so mcuh for your reply, sounds possible. What is the benefit of drinking a lot of carrot juice, versus, say, green juices or fruit/green mixes?
Forum: Juicing, Juicers, Blending and Blenders 15 years ago

I'd assume that taking the fiber out increases absorption, so that the (available) calorie content goes up without fiber?
