Homemade from organics is great. However, it depends on how you're making

it. If you're using a juicer like the Omega 8002 (now 8005) to press the

juice out and discard the pulp, you should be able to use it, diluted,

just like any other legal juice.

However, you should not use a blender or Vitamix to puree the vegetable

and have it raw at the outset of the diet.

Marilyn,

Yes I do use a juicer to separate the pulp. Carrot juice has so many benefits

that can help upper GI and other ailments. Plus the juice has quite a bit of

calories in it, just needs to be consumed slowly. Thanks!

Just remember that it is also high in carotene and if you drink too much,

you may end up turning orange.

In addition, it is quite high in carbs, and a jolt of carbs might not be

the best thing.

Diluting is best.
