While some people get great results with juicing I really don't think it's necessary if you can just eat well. However juicing seems to have a convenient aspect to it, no cooking, no recipes, no planning.

I think the thing with juicing is more for those who are not already eating well. The juice fast is meant to detox the body from the bad stuff, and replace that with the stuff one should be eating, fruits and veggies. If a person is already eating well I see no reason for the fast. Then I think some others do it as way to get their full servings of fruits and veggies, rather than just eating apples and carrots.

Maybe, but it was my impression most just see it as a fast weight loss.

That may well be what most people see it as, but I dont think thats the actual intention of the who devised the juice fast. Or, maybe it was.

question for all the juicers: What kind do you have? The juicer, I mean. there seems to be a major variance in quality regardless of price.

I'm looking for a juicer too. Looks like Craigslist may be the best option for getting a lightly used one on the cheap. I'll report back when I score.

I squeeze the juice out with my bear hands. (intentional spelling)

This is going to be tough, I already had an espresso today. Oh well , start again.

You could try cutting back a bit instead of going without it, some coffee isn't bad as matticus pointed.

Awwwwww yeaahhhhh that sounds so good.

I'm a hardcore vegan and I came across this thread trying to search for the vegetarian club... Anyone got a link?

I eat no animal products, as little processed food as possible (peanut butter and almond milk being the few exceptions), and nothin at all with added natural or artificial flavors or colors, high fructose corn syrup, aspartame, MSG, or refined sugars.

If you think about it, humans evolved eating whole plants. That's what our body is for. I would also recommend Forks Over Knives if you guys liked this movie you're discussing.

Also, have you thought about making your own peanut butter?

[Ziltoid]

There's also Vegucated that follows a similar tangent.

While I'm no vegan or vegetarian, I like making myself vege or vegan meals every now and then. I could see myself doing the ovo-lacto vegetarian jump easily, vegan on the other hand would be rough, I really love cheese. I just don't feel compelled to do one or the other. I've seen many of the documentaries and shock videos about farming, but no cookie, I'm not jumping on the wagon

Yes, I have a Vitamix, it make great peanut butter. When we are done making peanut butter we make a smoothie leaving the little bit of peanut butter we can't get to. It cuts down on cleaning time and makes a great smoothie.

How'd you like a chucklehead sandwich?

Thanks! And yeah I have, someone mentioned a Vitamix and I would LOVE to have one. My mom said she'd get us one for a wedding gift . I'd make almond milk, peanut butter, almond butter, all sorts of stuff...

I hope to anything holy that that Chucklehead is fake that's seriously ****ed up...

Edit: For some reason I can't see the Veg Club page... My subscription ran out like two years ago, would that be a problem for a club thread?

I'm still very active at 60 most people thing I'm not a day over 59, probably because I'm emotionally immature. Take a look at the old guy playing the bass.

Chop fodder!
