Conquering the sweet tooth



Recommended Posts

If you want to crave greens start drinking green juices. I still drink a green juice and plan to do that for my liquid phase. My juice is made of cilantro, ginger, lemon, green apple, celery, cucumber and romaine lettuce. The more you drink, the more you crave salad. I swear it's true. Green juices are high in nutrition and very low in calories. They naturally detox the body and keep you regular (bowels). Someone on here can't remember , suggested diluting coconut Water with the green juice. I am going to do that. Juicing really does help your body. Your skin will definitely benefit. The skin is the last organ to get nutrition. When you juice it goes right through to the cells, instant nutrition. It really is true. Try it!

Do you strain it and drink just the thin liquid, or do you drink the pulpy part? I want to try it, but I'm a little nervous.

Do you have a juicer? I have a food processor, an old blender and a bullet type blender but no juicer. Do you need a specific machine? Can you make it up ahead of time and freeze it? What do you do with the pulp?

I gave a jack lalaine juicer. Got it off Amazon fir 99.00 best money I ever spent. We put the juice in main hars,and freeze it. One batch makes 6- 7 jars. Then we thaw it out the night before in the fridge. We throw the pulp away but there are things you can do with it. I just bought a vitamix and I am going to start juicing with it. You may even find a juicer at a discount price on eBay. As far as I know you can't juice in a blender.
I don't remember if I added ginger to my list. Ginger really makes it taste good.

If you have a whole foods store in your area they sell prepackaged green juices. That way you can taste them.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
