Sharon1964 2,530 Posted October 6, 2015 This is something you need to discuss with your nutritionist. My sister is vegetarian, and she had bypass about 15 years ago. She still has trouble getting in enough Protein, and her hair is still very thin and unhealthy looking (she is a hairdresser, so I figure if she can't make her own hair look good, it must be really bad). I believe that the reason juicing isn't a good idea is not the size of your stomach, but because it is very easy to drink too many calories. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well iam not worried about the calories per say bc when i juice i dont really use any. Fruits unless its a tiny leamon or nit even a half of apple i uice only for the Vitamins strickley so i probably will end up still juicing for diease prevention i feel i will need more bc of the nutrition definenxy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BLERDgirl 6,417 Posted October 7, 2015 I'm vegetarian. I get in 100gm of Protein daily, but I supplement with 100% unflavored whey isolate. Juicing isn't a good idea because it's all concentrated sugar with none of the benefits of the Fiber and roughage you would get from eating the fruit or veg whole. Even vegetables will contain sugars. You'd benefit more from eating a balanced diet and the occasional salad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
glitter eyes 1,398 Posted October 7, 2015 I am not a vegetarian, but I do juice once or twice a week. However, I didn't juice during the majority of my weight loss phase. I am in maintenance now and just make sure when I juice I log my calories and so far I have been fine. I even do the occasionally fruit juice. I always save my pulp and add it to my homemade Soups and if I do fruit I use the pulp and add it to homemade whole grain muffins (mostly my family eats those). I haven't had any problems. I think if I juiced everyday it would be too many carbs for me and I would rather eat my food. LOL Good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
