RE: Juicing
11-01-2012 1:55 AM
Juicing rocks! So glad to hear you're enjoying it so much. I'm a lemon head but my husband is the fruity - adding oranges and apples to sweeten his. We burn through carrots, spinach and cucumbers. Dark leafy greens like kale or swiss chard or beet greens...oh and you said you thought beets were earthy! That's exactly how we describe it, lol, but so sweet too. My husband has actually gotten into a habit of juicing and then adding the juice into the vitamix with his bananas/yogurts/avocados/protein powders etc, you know, the stuff that just should not be put in a centrifugal or auger juicer ^-^ Long fasts are something that I personally worked up to. I think it took me time to wrap my head around how to deal with other people's reactions and how I could explain myself. (sad that we should have to...mostly to quell fears) So many people equate fasting with starvation and it's not! If it's done properly! Ah, the stigmatisms of what is socially acceptable...
I hope you're still enjoying this journey...but be careful, lol, you may never want to go back! Once your body gets a hankering for the goodness, it won't settle for less...if you try, it will tell you so!
PS
Yes! Ginger is great...and if you like lemon-y, cayenne pepper is a really punchy addition too!
You're never too old to learn NuTrix!

How long was your longest fast nutrix? I can never pass month! This time I only got around to a week and switched over to eating just raw fruits and vegetables.
