Anybody else incorporates vegetable juice into their nutritional lifestyle?

[th0ugh]

Recently I've been hitting up this juice/smoothie bar by my job and been getting vegetable juice. They juice me a carrot, apple, cucumber, beets, celery and sometimes ginger. I would drink like two of these s day and i see myself with a lot more energy than usual. When I first tried it, it tasted disgusting but then my taste buds got used to it. I've noticed weight loss as well. I recommend this to anyone who's trying to cut down. I wish my spot had more vegetable choices, though. I'm thinking about investing in a juicer, though too. My body feels amazing and is starting to LOOK amazing also. It's really not that hard to change your eating habits at all. Gotta have that dedication. I want to set and be a living example for all the fat people out there. I care and wish y'all the best of luck. - Mayor. (any questions, holla at me)

V8 uses tomatoes right? I think tomato juice is wretched. Seriously, hit up a juice bar and get carrot, cucumber, beet and some fruit (apple, pineapple or orange) for a little sweetness. After the second or third time you drink it, it will actually start tasting good. Those Naked juices are amazing as well. The Green Machine flavor is mad good

I'd rather just eat the vegetables. It's pretty simple to integrate them into all of your meals.

I feel the same way.

Nah, eating vegetables are a hassle. A mastigating juicer extracts all of the vitamins from vegetables without heating them away. And V-8 aint the same as juice from a juicer. They put so many damn chemicals in their to preserve the integrity of the juice and prevent it from spoiling that it really can't be called juice.


I'm actually in the market for a high end juicer at the moment. Still not sure which brand to go with but I'm definitely gonna cop one soon.

I concur.
I used to get vegetable juice at this place called RIPE here in queens.  Super 6 - cucumber, ginger, carrot, beets, spinach, melon....tasted great but I'm susceptible to rich foods...so I bought a juicer and I juice in the summer.

Winter it's strictly melons...watermelon, cantaloupe...very alkalizing foods which are good to counter-balance the mostly acid foods we eat a lot of

Breville and Omega make the best juicers. Omega's are masticating, which means it doesnt utilize heat to increase the motor that extracts the juice, which results in a loss of vitamins, as vitamins evaporate when heated. A solid juicer should run you anywhere between $300-$500 but you can get a typical centrifigal juicer for like a $100, but these arent as thorough in the juice extraction process and utilize heat as a means of extraction, which as stated, results in loss of vitamins. It just depends on the brand and quality you desire. Amazon is the best site for juicers, though.

No need...I drink seamoss x bladderwax tea. It contains 95 of the 100 and some odd minerals that the body consists of

i need to..

 

[bean pie slanga]

I bought this Breville model off Craigslist for $25 (was geeked!): http://www.amazon.com/Bre...id=1319586934&sr=8-4

It's pretty good. Cleanup is a bit annoying but I only juice 2-3 times a week.

This guy has some good juice recipes, and I think he uses a higher end Breville: http://www.youtube.com/us...tor?blend=1&ob=4#g/u

Type in "juice" in the search box

I need to get on this..way too much fast food lately..feeling sluggish.

 

[lieutenantdan93]

1 v8 a day for the past year or so.

 

[bjamez20]

i was making juice with 1-2 meals a day for like a month, but it got to be too much of a hassle

now i drink odwalla superfood for my juice fix

 

[sofa king awsm]

nah it tastes bad imo. rather just eat veggies and lift heavy.

 

[Bert.]

anyone try this?

 

[repva]

Highly reccomend it. Started it to lose weight and just get healthier over all.3 mos later I dont think I'll stop.
I drink probably 2 glasses a day(20-24oz each) and eat one regular meal and a snack everyday. I feel better,
have more energy, and lost weight. I used to have acid reflux but I noticed i haven't had any in months. 
I have a Breville and it works well. But I've never owned one before so i have nothing to compare it to.
I suggest buying one and making one large batch once a day. Less cleanup. They reccomend not storing it
more than 24 hours.Loses some nutritional value after that.
I also buy 100% coconut water and add it to each batch. Thins it out and makes it more drinkable IMO.
Really high in potassium too.

Actually happened to me

 never messing with it again... 

There's a docu on netflix bout this a couple months ago, good stuff but not for me

Dailysteals.com has a juicer for 14.99 right now. It ends in an hour though. If you don't get that one, get the Cookinex brand stainless steel one. I have the Jack LaLanne model that costs 110 but I like the Cookinex better. It has suction cups on the bottom so it doesn't move, the pourer actually has a lip that filters all the foam out when you poor and all the pieces come out easier than the Jack LaLanne which has this stupid tool to remove the blade that if you lose, you can't take the blade off.

juicer can be a pain to clean...

why not just make a smoothie?
