Guest guest Posted January 23, 2004 Report Share Posted January 23, 2004 Okay here's what I'm focusing on to become 100% raw! 42% vegetable soups and salads and juice drinks. I bought a braun multiquick professional. And I heard how bad the Juiceman is..it kind of destroys the nutrients as it juices. So after reading a website based only one juicing. I decided that I will by a Green Star or Solo Star when I have the funds. But in the meantime I will use the braun and drink/chew down my juices. So I can actually have the fiber still to brush out my intestines. I'd rather keep the nutrients even if their big rather than drink a practically nutrientless drink. I decided every night to have a soup and maybe added salad. But definitely every morning a vegetable juice and afternoon a fruit medley; juices/salads. 30% Fruits. As mentioned above just in salads, fresh juices, and snacks. 15% Water. It should be counted as more because I intend to build up to the point where I drink my body weight in water. I start by drinking a glass before and after each meal. And also during snacks. 10% Nuts, sprouts, and grains. They don't make up a lot of my meals mainly because of how grains hold back digestion and also the affect of dehyrdrated food on the body, from what I've read on www.living- foods.com . But I do like the raw crackers and some times some sun dried foods. 5-1% This is just sun dried (aka dehydrated food--my version of sundried). Anyway just a few of them, tomatoes and fruits. which I add to salads and make snacks with. And also Nut breads and mock meat with nuts. Let me know what you think..and where I may have to some more vegeies or less and if I have a blance of everything?! I'm new to this..so I'm a bit worried as to the percentages..I do know that I don't want to be a fruitarian. So I really cut back on the fruits! Thanks!

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2004 Report Share Posted January 23, 2004 Hi Vaberella, try not to drink during eating, take some time between these two things. It is not good for digestion, you dilute your digestive saps in this way. Katarina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 23, 2004 Report Share Posted January 23, 2004 Hi. I had a green star. It juiced carrots ok, but it was difficult to use. I had to cut the carrots real small for the shoot to take them. Apples turned mushy. Wheat grass was so so, not the best quality. The juicer developed cracks after a few weeks, I did not discover them until I had read articles about other people who developed the cracks. After looking at mine, sure enough they were there. My concern was that I had used it so few time to have developed the cracks, the cost of replacing them, and that others had often said that the company stops selling parts after a few years. I hope this helps you. I spent a lot of money on it. I love my champion and Norwalk juicer. The Norwalk being the best juicer out there. As to B-12 pills. According to Dr. Shultz, almost all pills are made from raw sewage sludge. I don't take them. I hope this information helps, I would hate to see someone waste money on that brand of juicer. I know the ad sounds great. You can often find good deals on ebay for juicers. My norwalk was about $400.00 and runs great. It first grinds up the produce, then you press it under 2000 lbs of pressure. According to studies it gets out more nutrition by far than any other juicer. The pulp is so dry that animals won't eat it. It looks like a stale piece of bread. For more information go to www.hacres.com they have an article somewhere comparing juicers.
