Juice as a meal

2021-01-11T05:05:01.000Z

I recently bought a citrus juicer and am looooooving the fresh orange juice. After drinking about four cups of juice I feel quite satiated and can go a while without feeling hunger again. I've been considering having a large glass, maybe eight cups of orange juice, for breakfast as a meal because I feel so great afterwards and it's so delicious! I suppose I'm just wondering if having a meal that is solely juice is sufficient for breakfast. What do y'all think? I see a lot of raw eaters have mostly juice throughout the mornings so wondering what y'all's take is

Fruit Juice + Lettuce for fiber?

2014-05-09T16:39:57.000Z

Hi guys, i bought grapes and they have very bitter seed and skin, i really want to juice them to get the calories, but i'm worried about the fiber and sugar absorption.

I though on add some lettuce and cucumber mixed with the juice and throw everything on the blender... do you think this solves any of that 'problem' about juicing? or is it still not enough to make a fiber-sugar meal just like whole fruit?

Thanks guys!

Just got a Juicer! Give me knowledge! ... Please :)

So I got a juicer a couple days ago and did some

orange juice

Apple juice

Beet juice

and carrot juice

Any good juice combos or ideas for the pulp?

I can't compost where I am or I totally would.

Any tips or tricks?

I am searching for information anywhere I can find it!

Thanks!

Green Juice?

2014-01-05T00:19:38.000Z

I don't enjoy salad. I have tried numerous different styles and have made all different dressings (I found a lot of good ideas on the forums here!) but still I find I can eat maybe 3 bites and I am just done. I have always hated salad haha.

So that being said, what is the ideal way to get my greens?

I sometimes make a green smoothie with banana & kale or spinach but I don't like having those every day. but

Something I used to do before I was completely vegan was I would make a green juice in the morning consisting of:

-cucumber

-apple

-celery

-greens (kale/spinach etc)

I don't like juicing much because of removing the fibre and all that..

BUT would this be a good thing to have first thing in the morning maybe as a bit of a boost to get some nutrients in before I start the day? It wouldn't be breakfast. More of a 'pre-breakfast' vitamin shot if you will!

Would this kind of juice have any negative affects? I don't 100% understand the science behind all of this yet.

Something moving in my green juice !!!!

2013-12-09T09:20:38.000Z

Ok.

there is something moving in my Green Juice!!!

CALLING OUT ALL BOTANISTS, BIOLOGISTS, SCIENTISTS, etc :)

I put some of my Green Juice under my microscope ( x1260 magnification level).

I took a video of it with my mobile phone, (sorry about the low quality video)

I can see Pyramid-shaped Crystals jiggling around !!

can anyone explain what these are?

- i would really appreciate someone (with definite knowledge) who can explain it to us.

- This would be in ALL green juices, I guess!

(but there is not much data available online because not many people put it under the Microscope).

PS: I am assuming that these crystals are not bad things. but the fact that they are MOVING makes me interested.

here are the ingredients of the that juice:

Cucumber, Kale, Watercress, Amaranth, Ginger, Lemon

JUICING?!!

2013-09-22T18:27:41.000Z

Hey ya'll I am currently working on creating a delicious raw soup and so far I have combined carrot juice, celery juice, and tomato juice and then mixed in the tomato pulp, chopped spinach, chopped peppers, and zucchini noodles. It was very delicious. However I was thinking about mixing some corn and potato juice and pumpkin juice into the mixture, but I don't want to eat the starch as it slows down detoxification. Is the starch found in the juice itself or in the pulp? thanks!

Juicing carrots, can it make you gain weight?

2013-01-10T17:04:11.000Z

Hi everyone, I'm new here and am in the process of switching back to a raw lifestyle after 5 years of dead food. I'm super excited about my new juicier and have been juucing away. Right now there's not a greatnl selection of fruits and veggies so iv been doing allot of carrots. I have a friend who said she startded gaining all kinds of weight when she started drinking carrotnl juice. At least she attributed it to that. She is not raw but does eat very healthy. So I'm wondering if its true that carrot juice can cause weight gain.? Or maybe it depends on what else your eating or perhaps if its from the store or you juices it yourself. Thanks :) Heidi.

SALADS VS GREEN JUICES

2012-11-25T18:38:35.000Z

Hi!

Anyone out there that can say they enjoy eating a huge salad every day? I find no intuitive or "natural physiological urge" for greens, like one does for sugar, they don't taste immediately appealing like fruit does, and I don't feel they are a natural part of our diet really, considering the lack of appeal.

However, I see a lot of good scientific reasons for consuming the greens. My theory is that the fruit, in ideal settings, will provide all minerals and nutrients, but that today this is not the case. Therefore, consuming greens for minerals amongst other things is a good idea.

What about juicing some greens everyday? Since greens are a "supplement" anyways, and it digests way heavier than fruit, wouldn't juicing them be a great alternative? I'm talking straight green juice here, no sugary vegetables or fruit, just greens. I imagine that would be even better than a salad since you dont have to do all that heavy digestion etc...

Any ideas about this?

Im wanting a juicer! Help please ;)

2012-07-05T00:05:33.000Z

So I have come to the conclusion I am I wanting a juicer. Mostly want it for juicing greens as I am having difficulty eating my vegetables raw. I loved veggies before starting 811 June 1st 2012, but I guess I enjoy them allot more with blue cheese dressing or olive oil. Which is clearly not an option ;p

I did have a juicer in 06, that I made a few great drinks with. However, I did not keep it long as it was to an extreme a messy clean up.

If I could get some input on what is the most desired juicer, I would really appreciate it.. ;)

juicing vegetables kills enzymes, vitamins, and nutrients?

2012-02-20T05:58:00.000Z

Hi every1,

I have a quick question. I was reading and doing research and came across some information stating that when you juice veggies or fruit you lose a lot of the enzymes, nutrients, and vitamins similar to when you cook them. Is this true? Or is this just a myth? What do you all think?

thanx 4 the help every1...

juice old fruit

2011-12-06T16:12:28.000Z

I made this juice this morning. Found a tomato in my fridge and decided to throw it in for good measure. After I juiced it I noticed it was bad. My juice has a lot of green in it and id hate to waste itI I just wanted to know if it was ok to drink bad fruit. Can it make you sick? I am assuming yes. This one guy I met was a vegan and he would juice old oranges and said its just as good for you. I think if the fruit is bad the nutrients are dying or dead. Can anyone help me out? I love this site and am constantly learning!!! :)

Minerals and nutrients deplete in juice after a few hours?

2011-12-03T04:41:01.000Z

Hello, quick question.

I got into the habit of juicing a gallon of juice in the morning because I work hectic hours and I don't have time to pull out my juicer 3 to 4 times a day. I had been doing this for a while until I read recently that the minerals and nutrients in the juice begin to deplete after you juice, so by the end of the day the juice is very mineral deficient.

Is this true? Does juice lose it's mineral and nutrient content if you let it sit in the refrigerator for a few hours? Or can you juice in the morning and still reap the full benefits of drinking it at night? Also if it does deplete in minerals and nutrients.... how do this happen? Where do they go? Any info would be great!

Thanks a bunch!!!

Juicing for calories?

2011-10-23T22:04:04.000Z

Hey,

I promised I wouldn't post again for a few days.... but I just had one more quick question.

How many calories are lost when juicing? I am not much of a calorie counter but I would like to start marking them down for a month or two because my brother was curious what I am eating on a daily basis and how many calories I am consuming.

Do you lose many calories when juicing or only fiber? Does the fiber lost have calories? Can I live on a diet of juice? Just wondering :)

Thanks!

Adam

Orgasmic juicer recipe (Sherbert Lemonade)

2010-12-07T19:52:51.000Z

Now I have to start by saying that I cannot take credit for this recipe. Credit goes where credit is dueand therefore credit must go to this guy:

http://www.juicemaster.com/recipes/juices/sherbert-lemonade

Apparently he is “The Juice Master” And I have to say: “The force is strong with this one!” becausein this video, he aint lying!

Now I'm not the one to take things for granted but when I tried out his recipe just now, I have to say thatno man has ever been so right as the “Juice Master” in that videowhen he says that this lemonade is so good it will “blow yourmind!”

So simple and yet so clever.

How do kids make lemonade?

They use lemon juice and add sugar.

Now that's not a real health drink is it? Now what if we could take out the sugar and replace it withsomething else that's sweet.

Like a Golden Delicious apple (or two).

And that's all it takes.

Try it out! I swear I was jumping and screaming (in a good way) just now when I tried it.

I can't wait to make more but the store just closed and I need to get some more Golden Delicious.
