So I saw thread a while back and decided to finally get a juicer. I bought a Breville and started today with some celery, carrots, and apples. I used it for 2 meals today and am feeling pretty good. I'm definitely gonna stick with it. I plan on doing it for at least 10 days. Still gotta read up more on some good combos, but lschimdts post was pretty awesome.
Buy a juicer
- Thread starter Uncle Tony

I love my Blendtec. Picked it up from Costco and came with an extra jar for about $400 total.
Use both. I now have a Blendtec and a Breville. A quart of water, stalk of Kale, and three bananas was awesome in the Blendtec. Breville, I use various recipes and veggie scraps from my wife's previous dinner. Does the job. I feel fantastic.
I def. like the idea of using both (even though I currently don't do that). My ideal setup personally is having a high end masticating juicer and also a high end blender -- then a legit heavy PSI press for the pulp.
Ironically made a post about this a few weeks back:

I've been thinking about getting a Vitamix which is the same thing they use at Jamba Juice. The nice thing about it is you don't throw away all the pulp so you're still getting all the fiber from the fruits and vegetables. Anyone tried it?
Bought one for mom. She uses it almost everyday and swears by it.
I've tried some juice mixes, it turns out to be too viiscous for my taste. I use a strainer after to make the juice easier to drink.
First half of this whole thread is about Vitamix basically if I remember correctly. They're def better since you don't "waste" as much of the produce, for sure.
Any updates from people posting awhile back on how their doing with their juicers? Its got me interested, but the amount of shit you have to put in just to get one day serving is pretty crazy and the amount of sugar you consumer in a short period can't be good. Still would be interesting to try it out if everyones having good results although I might just stick with a blender because I haven't shat a big black baby in a long time so i need to stretch out my anus for summer time.
Well according to the recommended diet you're supposed to eat 25+ fruits and veggies everyday, which is impractical to eat whole. If sugar is a concern, how about looking up juices for diabetics? There are several books on the subject. My father is diabetic and since I told him about this he's got himself a juicer and juices bitter-gourds/melons, greens, eggplant and believe it or not, his blood-sugar levels etc are practically "cured" now in a period of 2-3 months.
For me I've been slacking off because I sold my car (want to get out of this shithole country long term) so I haven't been going to swim or to the gym and just holed up at home all day most days eating pizza and greasy Punjabi & Chinese takeaway. The motivation to juice comes a lot easier if you're working out and have that endorphin rush... Sadly I'm on more redbull and crappy coffee now than juice. But I'll definitely get back on track in a couple of weeks...
As for results they were very significant & positive in my case. I have/had a fatty liver, don't give a fuck about doctor's advise and still drink when I want to (though almost never binge haha) and eat meat everyday in all my meals, but the blood tests and scans after a month (yes, one month) of juicing and good exercise = my liver's fixed and in top shape
It's becoming slightly addictive to be honest. After about 2 days without juice I can start to feel a change towards the sluggish side and CRAVE my juice.
MUST HAVE MORE JUICE!!!!
Funny thing is that my neighbors etc. all started juicing now. Everyone loves it so far.... It's becoming almost like a fad diet....
Check back in 6 months...
For those of you that blend, you might like this facebook page for ideas/recipes....

I randomly try them sometimes.
Many of the recipes would probably be good for juicing too I guess.

Do that same recipe but toss half a lemon in you'll jizz your pants it's so good
You do end up losing a lot of the fiber from the fruit when you juice as opposed to using a blender.
Not to mention one less appliance on the counter

yep....jizz certified. also, use granny smith apples. same idea, a little tartness will mask that grassy taste. but mainly just chug that shit!
Watching this right now and my brain is full of fuck
I have a cheap ass black and decker $50 juicer but it's better than nothing.
edit: have you cut out meat and dairy completely?
anyone else cutting out meat and dairy?

What's wrong with meat?
Also, anyone read about ideal diets specific to blood type? Blood types are a major superstition in Japan. But there may be something to the diet part of it. I'm A+ and apparently this is from the genetic lineage of modern humans (more advanced on the evolutionary scale) after the discovery of agriculture = grain and crop based diet is recommended for this blood type. Goes against all the paleo diet wisdom.
Also I started making soups with fresh veggies. Boil the ones that need to be softened then puree them in a processor/blender. That's basically all there is to it, tastes pretty good. Today I made a soup of: 6 tomatoes, 1 zuchini, 1 carrot, 1 eggplant, 1 potato, peppers, garlic, one chicken breast = pureed everything and boiled it again, added some salt and oats- tasted fucking fine.
