I think juicing might mean something else around here but im talking about juicing actual fruits and veggies. Have you done any? What do you think about it? With all the info we have on glysemic index and things you think taking all the juice outta fruits and veggies and leaving all the pulp behind and consuming almost pure sugar would be horrible for you. I did a fast for 4 days then used it as a midmorning snack and felt great. Used things like beets, pinapple, parsley, peppers, kale, apples, carrots, celery. Whats your experience?

okay, first off (not to be an asshole, just curious), why did you fast for 4 days? that def doesn't seem healthy. I get sick and don't eat for like 2 days and i'm down like 6lbs.

But in regards to your juicing question, juices are great for you cuz of the simple sugars for energy and for the the nutrients that you can get from the juice. it's pretty good actually.

I dont like juicing, more so because if i do eat a fruit or vegetable its mroe filling to do it whole.

it was like a internal cleanse. ive heard meat eates always have 2 lbs of meat in there interstines at all times. gross! also did some dandylion green for liver support. some people do colonics... i do a cleanse. im also done the master cleanse (fresh lemons, maple syup and cayanne pepper) for 5 days. make you feel awsome for me. some people ive heard cant do it. my body ph needed rebalancing i think. a glass of that alwasy makes me feel good. skin goes nice and clear...

I think fasting is horrible for you and I dont believe in the whole "cleansing" thing.

By "Juicing" all your fruits and vegetables you are

which is removing all the fiber too. Fiber is good for "cleansing."

Fasting, aka tricking your body into thinking there's a famine and its starving, is not healthy in my opinion.

Uncle did a colonic few months back, the punctured something and he nearly died, stay the hell away from em

^damn i wasnt planning on getting one. but i did just meet a chick who does what she calls hydro colon therapy, she says people love it but it sounds like there lots of differnt people who shouldnt be doing it. yes i know when i started reading about juicing it went against everything ive learned thats why i wanted to know more about it becuase so many people swear by it. zack up there must know a bit cuase ya thats what i found out because it so refind down to the simple sugars without all the fiber your body can take what its needs and dosnt slow down to much digesting the fibre for the suagrs to hurt your system...something like that. makes sence when im reading the book on it lol. just wondering what people actully have tried and know for a fact. im geussing you havent read a whole lot on the benfits of juicing. bodys absorb a lot of toxins from the enviroment. threw shampoos, soaps, plastics, hormones in meat, pesticides and herbicides on veggies, smog.... somehow i dont think drinking juice from organic veggies is going to be 'horrible' for you.

I don't believe in all this vodoo, the body will mantain balance as best as it can naturally. Humans are natural omnivores, so its fair game to me.

[Thomas_Rivera]

I mean, how much proof is there that actually supports that the body holds onto any "toxins", would injesting meat that was from an animal that was given growth hormones or even animal steroids pass those on to you?

Realistically, from what i've read about hormones and steroids, unless they actually can survive the liver they wont have any effect. For steroids this means c17-alpha alkylated, even if those types of oral steroids were fed to cows or chickens or whatever live stock, I'm pretty sure that once broken down the metabolites won't do much. For growth hormone, i'm not even sure that it can survive the liver.

How many people actually researched juicing and fasting before making a comment. I know I haven't ever researched it. Sometimes we are too quick to attack instead of research.

Could you just get a prescription for GoLYTELY® and have a similar effect?

[chrispghmuscle]

GoLYTELYis nasty tasting,

I do know fasting is not good for your body. Juicing may be different but you will never find this guy fasting
