Has anyone tried/use Juicers to get down those No no fruits/veggies??

If so,what brands?I love protien foods but seems like veggies and certain fruits are hard to consume,not to mention if you get full on your Proteins first.I'm waiting for the "approval process" and trying to learn as much as I can! Thank you for any input!! I hope I am able to get 'Banded'!!!!!!! oh the agony of the waiting game....

I actually have a Jack Lalanne juicer which I use from time to time. It isn't the BEST way to get your fruits and vegetables, but FAR greater than not eating them at all.

fruit and vegetable skins and flesh are loaded with flavonoids, phytonutrients, and Fiber. I'd really in time like to get a Vitamix which will allow me to pulverize the skins and flesh for those tough days when things are going down in whole form.

I've got a vitamix and its absolutely the best investment I ever made for family cooking.

for myself, I use it to make fruit smoothies, it breaks them down completely and I usually add spinach or some sort of green as well as its so healthy for you. It gets blended so well you wouldnt even know it was there.

At least with somethink like a vitamix that gets things completely smooth, you are still getting all the pulp and fibre that you miss out on with a juicer.

Great! Thank you for the input,guys!Yes that makes sense to get all the goodness from the veggies/fruit in liquid form if needed.I will check out those two units.You guys look awesome!

Which vitamix blender would you use? They have several different machines. If you have a link...that would be great.

I was wondering if anybody else did juicing. I've been with weight watchers for a while and tracking my food. When I noticed I hadn't had a fruit in over 9 weeks, and my only vegetable came in when I ate a salad, I got a little freaked. I borrowed my fathers juicer last night and already put it to work, I'm loving it!
