Juicing



Recommended Posts

I watched a documentary on Netflix called "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead". The guy does juicing only + Water for 60 days and lost over 80 lbs.

It is a great film.

The nutrients are absorbed better with this method.

I think juicing has tons of benefits and we could add Protein Powder as well.

Anyone have good or bad thoughts on this. And how would I add it to my fitness pal?

I watched this a while back and I've been juicing ever since. I do the same as he did. I find it is particularly good if I'm due to eat but really don't want to. The juice fills me up. I don't know how to add it to myfitnesspal as I don't track.

We have a juicer but when we had big stomachs we found the amount of veggies and fruit we had to juice to get any appreciable amount was cost prohibitive. Now that wife and I have tiny tummies we are looking to take it up again. Juicing is a low volume way to get Vitamins and the other elements of veggies in. The only thing left out is Fiber which we can get other ways.

But the clean-up is a bear. Waaaa. :unsure::D

Hey Friends If you are new to juicing, I suggest a mid-priced juice extractor. The cheap centrifugal juice machines break easily, produce low quality juice, and are very noisy, which may give rise to hearing problems. They also don't last very long.Thanks a lot!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
