Yes, had my juicer a while now, a pint of goodness does make you feel good, especially first thing in the morning.

i bought an oscar a few years ago.
At the time was 95 kilos All i did was stop eating buscuits and replaced lunch with a juice , and within a couple of months i was down to 85 kilos Now i only have a juice a couple of times a week but have stabalised at 82 kilos and never put it back on. Blood pressure hasgone from 150 down to 120 and feel much better |

juicing wot?
|
|
By:
Carrot and Apple is a good start as a base.
My big problem with juicing is cleaning the blooming thing (nightmare). |
|
By:
The oscar http://www.oscarjuicers.co.nz very good , takes literally a few seconds to clean
My main juice was normally three carrots and an apple , grapes good to add, anything really. If you not worried what they taste like then brocolli and other green veg gave to be very healthy , but they not that tasty, i have to hold my nose and knock em back. Treat it like medicine. The carrot and apple one tastes ok though |
|
By:
^ Agreed
Carrots and apples are nearly always in there  When I add lemon, I stick them in whole (they are unwaxed ones), there's more vitamin c in the peel! I also add chocolate whey protein sometimes. |
|
By:
celery sticks good too
|
|
By:
you don't want it to be tasty that means there's too much flavourings/sugars,
|
|
By:
At the same time i started the juice diet , i stopped eating any refined foods containing sugar.
It made me ill for a few dys , apparantly its normal , sugar is like a drug and withdrawel can cause physical symptoms for up to a week. However after that everything starts tasting better. Peas for example taste really nice and sweet if you never eat sugar |
|
By:
Celery and fresh root ginger are good additions too.

You're far better off eating the fruit and veg than juicing them. The juicing process removes the fibre although the macro and micronutrients still remain.
If you want to lose weight you'd be better off eating these food as you get far more satiety by eating them whole than consuming them in a liquid form. Also try and keep the fruits to a minimum as they can be quite calorie dense, if you have to juice then try and use just veg. I would say this only benefits people who have an unhealthy to moderate diet. It's better to substitute your unhealthy lunch with a veg drink but it's optimal to eat your veggies rather than drink them. |

the fibre is v.important. Also helps slows down the digestion so the organs are not hit directly with the juice, putting less stress on the organs.

This morning I juiced spinach, a banana, carrot, strawberries and pineapple, I agree ginger is great, gets rid of the bad taste if theres too much greens
Honestly though guys, I would recommened juicing to anyone |
|
By:
how did you do the banana - couldn't have been that much juice out of it?
|
|
By:
I got mine three years, or more, ago.
Like all things American it is not small, but it is fantastic! There seriously isn't a drop of juice left in the fibre and here is the testament to that..... "Let the legend live on. Let the message be clear. A friend, an icon, an inspiration… we here at Power Juicer are proud to say Jack LaLanne changed the lives of millions of people worldwide with his healthy living message.

Always put root ginger in, also taraggon if you like anise flavour.
Sweet potatoes give a nice creamy sweet flavour also |
|
By:
Yep have to agree, Ginger the daddy, makes the Mean Green palatable.

I once read that juicing destroys a lot of the nutritional value.

I thought the maxim was to eat your fruit and drink your veg. AP:I have the Jack LaLanne, Ive also had it a number of years and I find it a nightmare. It was always a massive messy job peeling and cleaning and Id get it everywhere and its an arse to clean. I used to do loads at once and fill big tubs and leave in fridge, no way would I use it daily and have to clean that, but after a while the juice in the fridge had a head on it and put me right off. I used to do oranges melons (that were like water the amount you get out of em) lemons and pinapples. Has anyone ever tried beetroot? I cant imagine youd get much out of em and that is why its 2-3 quid a carton in the supermarkets. |

Only a matter of time before judorick comes on here and trumps everyone with his choice of juice ingredients.

arrr god man, my house is like a dixons store, I have so many toasters, toastie makers, george forman grills, juicers blenders and all that crap, every year something comes out, gets used for 6 months then forgotten
  |
|
By:
No point doing a lot and putting it in the fridge as most of beneficial effects of juices will dissipate minutes after its made.
Cleaning is the biggest bugbear, I agree |
|
By:
I agree with Get on MASSIVE.

By:
I just do a pint a day and drink it in a min or 2, just rinse the blade and cup under the tap and its clean
|

By:
Get the nurtibullet mate, takes about 2 secs to clean
Where do you find the time? Where can you get this nurtibullet of which you speak? |
|
By:
Ive just been in the kitchen liam to see what wattage my kenwood blender is and its upto 900 watts, that bullet thing is just a blender but using a selling factor of just 600 watts
Im pretty sure everyone has a blender in their kitchen thats as strong or stronger than that. Its just another product trying to get ppl to spend money on it imo |
|
By:
"AP:I have the Jack LaLanne, Ive also had it a number of years and I find it a nightmare. It was always a massive messy job peeling and cleaning and Id get it everywhere and its an arse to clean".
Can't argue with that, as it is a pain, but just put it down as par for the course! |
|
By:
obv its a product trying to get ppl to buy it, I mean its just a blender, nowt special, no doubt attempting to be sold to ppl with existing blenders as a 'fruit drink blender'
|
|
By:
thinking about it my kenwood has that same detachable blade (among others) and has a nut cruncher mill the same shape as theat bullet
I might give it a go juicing, I rarely used it for that.....infact I cant remember what the hell I did buy it for |
|
By:
Ill tell you what is good tho
The massive foreman grill, Ive had to get replacement detachable grill plates as its been well used Im thinking of getting the sous vide too, thats meant to be the bollox |
