Alright guys, we started talking about juicing in a few different forums the past couple days and I said I'd go ahead and make a thread just for juicing for anyone who is interested or had questions, wants recipes, curious about the benefits etc, I'm here to answer them! And anyone else of course who wants to put in their two cents

I'll start off with how I got started.

I have always been a foodie, and I've been a chef for about 4 years, and I've always been interested in nutrients but I never delved into it. After my surgery 11/5/12, I struggled with the idea of a balanced diet with so many limitations we have now. I wanted to do some research! I wasn't working at the time and school hadn't started yet, so my days turned into information finding adventures!! I watched documentary after documentary, read medical journal after medical journal, trying to figure out what the experts had to say as far as nutrients and a healthy diet. There was a lot, but I stumbled onto juicing and and an organic whole foods plant based diet. With these two things I found the most positive things and so I went with it! I started slow and cheap with the juicing, but 3 days into adding juice to my diet, I was hooked! I found more and more recipes, tips, and Vitamin information, and now, simply because of how amazing I feel, if it doesn't help me get to my nutritional goal for the day, I don't put it in my mouth! Minus a treat every now and then of course

Anyway, that's my story!

We aren't made to digest it naturally' date=' just like cows milk ( why there's such a large population o lactose intolerant people) we're the only species on the planet that drinks another animals milk, that's also why soy/rice/almond milks are so much better for us and easier on our digestive system [/quote']

I knew about the cows milk and cuz has adv public health degree and was part of a lab team investigating link Btwn cows milk and some cancers

Please send information regarding the best juicing recipes. Thanks so much!

I am on day 2 of my 10 for my pre-op liquids diet and just bought a juicer because I figured it would be healthier for me. I am very excited to see a forum on just juicing.

I have juiced as part of my previous string of diets and loved it. I couldn't make it a lifestyle but still want my morning juice on occasion. How far post op do we need to be before we can juice?

Tip: watch Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead you won't regret it!
