Juicing Forum

Dan Mc Donald has done several in the AM for the entire day, not sure if it was for him or someone that he was doing it for. I wil have to as i have a Career and wont have access to the juicer @ work, I do have a vitamix here that i will just use to Re Blend the drinks as i drink them.
Hope this helped.

Thanks Joe yeah I was thinking of just making different juices for the day at one time in the morning and then bottle the different juices for the day and store the in the fridge.. Saves cleaning the juicier each time..

Anyway I am completing day 2!! Things are going well haven't beenonthe scale yet might wait till the 1st or on the weekend lol

Getting the hang of making the juices. I think give me a few more days and things will get even better I hear the first 3-4 days are the hardest!

Ok can't wait till you get juicing then I will have a partner dong this ! Lol

Ok thanks for the info I am wondering what bottles you could store the juice in for the day in the fridge...

Talk soon!

I'm usually busy in the morning so I make 24 hours worth of juice in the evening after getting home from work, in lieu of cooking dinner. I usually make 3 kinds of juices according to the colour of the ingredients: a juice from green-yellow-white ingredients, a juice from orange-red-yellow ingredients and a juice from purple-blue ingredients. I do my juicing with the colours of the ingredients separate, because I really, really do not want to drink any brown coloured liquids, HAHAH!

I store them in these 2L airtight BPA-free plastic water jugs that fit into the fridge door - the brand name is "Lock And Lock".

I have been juicing for just over 1 week, during which I did a 3 Day Juice Fast, and I am about to start on a 4 Day Juice Fast tomorrow. I have found it SO EASY to include so many more vegetables into my diet ever since I started juicing, with only a little bit of fruit added in for taste. I have Type II Diabetes and my blood sugar levels have been absolutely spot-on ever since I started juicing, even after my doctor halved my insulin dosage! Before I began juicing, my blood sugar levels were completely unable to be controlled, despite being on sky-high doses of insulin, as well as oral medications. I have also lost over 5 lbs of weight in the 3 days of juice fasting, and my clothes are feeling noticeably loser.

Strawberry juice is yummy! I just made an orangey-red juice from red apples, red bell peppers, strawberries, cherry tomatoes and ginger. It was a new taste sensation for me so far: sweet, sour and spicy hot, woot woot!

Cheers,
KK

Nick if you end up using the mason jars get some plastic tops for them. The metal ones rust after only a few washes in the dishwasher. The plastic tops are from the same company that does the mason jars. I did have to order the tops online as my store didn't carry them.

I pretty much lived off of one juice recipe. I used very little fruit as I didn't like my juice to sweet and I was also trying to lose weight. Here is the recipe I used:
one granny smith apple
3 celery stalks
3 romaine leaves
handful of spinach
one cucumber
1" ginger
1/4 lemon
I usually got two drinks out of this recipe but think it is only 13oz for each one then. Once in awhile I would treat myself and add another fruit to it. Peach or a grapefruit I liked the best. I lost 21 pounds on the juice fast and when I got off the fast I did two juices and a salad for dinner. The problem was that after awhile I was stupid and went back to eating pizza, hamburgers, chinese food and other junk. My portion sizes were also way to much. I ended up putting back on most of what I had lost. I went back on the juice fast last week tho. I had some stomach issues during my 30 day juice fast which unfortunately returned for this juice fast so I had to stop. Now I am doing the slim fast program. My stomach issues have gone away and I continue to lose weight. I did enjoy the taste of the juices and the people I met on this site. This forum makes the juice journey a lot of fun. Good luck to you and I hope my information helped you.
