And I agree - our food has such an affect on us & I tend to underplay that a lot. It's a habit I need to change!<br />Alicia, isn't it funny how these ideas trend around? I agree; I would be concerned about the lack of protein & I would definitely talk to my doctor before I did it. My birthday is in August; I'm thinking a juicer could be an excellent item to put my birthday money on (& a great time of the year for fresh, local produce!).<br />Rebecca, I totally understand what you were trying to say. I read other comments about being sure your juicer was easily cleanable. Also, I wonder a little about fiber, too. That would be another doctor question. <br />Julia, thanks so much for stopping by my blog - I have a ton of fun over at yours :-) I agree with you - just about anything that encourages us to adopt healthier habits is worth it!Mary Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06403083611514935619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314837374154681298.post-10323688099367647752012-01-23T11:17:59.895-05:002012-01-23T11:17:59.895-05:00We watched this documentary and liked it.

And shoot, anytime something (like juicing) inspires or encourages someone to change their life to live in a healthier way, I can't argue there!Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10407384086800032069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314837374154681298.post-67251115468415638902012-01-22T05:42:57.813-05:002012-01-22T05:42:57.813-05:00I have had several people in my life do the juicin...I have had several people in my life do the juicing diet. One, to battle breast cancer, would juice 5# if carrots per day. I used to juice on a regular basis as a supplement. I had a Champion juicer. Enjoyed carrots when they weren't bitter. I didn't like the daily cleaning of all the juicer parts. I liked the taste of apples, but the apples were too much for my system. I do think it is a good way to add more vegetables. Not sure about eliminating all the fiber? Fiber has its own benefits. Hmmmmm, all this rambling to say a lot of nothing.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12587077203221189796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314837374154681298.post-68577283489004915972012-01-21T10:55:42.792-05:002012-01-21T10:55:42.792-05:00A good friend of mine JUST YESTERDAY was raving ab...A good friend of mine JUST YESTERDAY was raving about this movie and the health benefits of juicing and eating more fruits/veggies! I'd love to give it a whirl but my fear would be the lack of protein in an all fruit/veggie juice diet. I do like the idea of getting more fruits/veggies into our diet though and we're finally making some changes in that direction. And cutting out sugar as much as we can. Let us know if you start juicing! I agree, we can't afford one right now but it would be a great gift to ask for or a goal to save up for!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00095630377321295014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314837374154681298.post-89521301120013061942012-01-20T21:56:36.529-05:002012-01-20T21:56:36.529-05:00I think that rebooting is an interesting idea--I d...I think that rebooting is an interesting idea--I definitely wouldn't want to try 60 days, but maybe a week? Not sure if I could even go that long! If you try it, let us know how it goes. :) Maybe you could check Craigslist for juicers.<br /><br />I have read about some types of cancer being healed or significantly helped by juice/all raw diets. It's really interesting and kinda scary how much the food we eat can affect us . . . <br /><br />BTW, thanks for letting me know about the 30 Day Shred. I don't think I'm quite brave enough to try it at this point, but I'm keeping it in mind. :)Carriehttp://samsmommy.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
