Hi everyone! I wanted to find out if any of ya'll "juice" and if so what kind of juicer you use. I've seen so many infomercials on them lately and am confused. I've done some research online, but it's just not the same as speaking with someone who actually uses them. Also, how long can you keep juice in the fridge? I was thinking Id like to be able to do enough for atleast two or three days, but didn't know if it would keep that long. And my last question, where do you get your recipes? I juiced regularly when I was pregnant with my fourth daughter ( the one I am actually going vegetarian with) and it ended up being the only thing I could keep dpwn for a couple months! However, I don't remember any of the recipes.
Thanks for your help!

I am fairly new to juicing but I got a Breville one for my bday and I love it. My husband did a ton of research on them and liked this one best. It is pretty easy to clean and does a great job. I have not been too adventurous with it yet. I really like green apple and carrot mixed.
My juicer came with some recipes so that will get you started. This particular model got good reviews from others that purchased it.
I miss my juicer soooo much! I can't remember the brand - I left it in the UK when I moved to the US and didn't buy one here but I should've - I used it at least twice a week. Great for using up fruits and veggies which have lost their crunch but are still usable.
My friend has been ranting and raving about following a diet that involves only juicing for a month straight. Apparently it boosts your overall health in many ways (faster metabolism, healthier skin and hair, no bloating, etc.).
A fad....sure, you may lose weight from only drinking your calories, but once you start eating again, watch out...anything you've lost will come right back...and probably, in doubles!
You have to learn to eat the right amount and the right foods ALL THE TIME to get to and maintain your ideal weight, for most people!

This.
If it is not something that you can continue to do for the rest of your life, then it is probably not worth it. This juicing diet might cleanse your system or make you shed a few pounds, short term, but a better choice would be to make positive changes to your diet that you stick to... forever.
You could swear off deep fried foods or soda. Become vegetarian or at least eat less meat. There are tons of things that are better than a month long juicer diet, I can tell you.
Do you think that juicing two days a week might be healthy for your body? I already eat very healthy and have never had a problem with my weight. I am very disciplined when it comes to healthy eating.
Juicers, do you have one, which one, what do you like about it?
If you like juicing, can you please share the juicer brand you use, and why you bought it? Are you happy with it? How many times a day & or a week do you use it? If you have the model number & a picture even better Any problems with it ?
How long have you had it? Thanks.

After getting motivated to make a lifestyle change after watching the movie "Fat,Sick and nearly Dead" I went out and bought a Breville juicer,this one to be exact =Juice Fountain Plus | Breville
I used it about 6 months,lost a lot of weight and promptly gained it all back.
The Breville unit is the real deal, never let me down and was a joy to use, with the wide entry preparing produce was virtually non existent just throw it in. Cleanup was as simple as could be, if you are going to get into juicing i'd recommend this particular Breville unit.
Although its not shown in the link it does come with a 40 oz juice collection jug
