Guest guest Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 I apologize if this isn't the right place to ask this, but does anyone have a juicer that they aren't using anymore? Or any recommendations for a juicer that works well, ie produces a lot of juice and can juice a variety of fruits and vegetables, but is on the cheap side...under $100. Advice is much appreciated! How is the Jack Lalanne power juicer? I was going to buy it used from craigslist, but now i'm thinking that isn't the best idea. > > > Ellen, > > You can juice and then mix with half water, maybe you'll tolerate that better depending on how much juice you have when you're done. Don't know what to tell you about how much juice, I would not worry about it so much. It just causes more stress in your life Juice whatever you think you can tolerate. and however much juice comes out is how much you should start off with > > Avocado's are high in calories because they have so much fat in them, not sugar. Anything with a high fat content will be high in calories from the fat but lowin carbs from lack of sugar content. Sorry but Avocado is the only thing I know of like that that's SCD legal. What about Cabbage juice? That's good for you an it's natural anti-inflammatory. Heals ulcers too! > > Carrots are very high in sugar, if you haven't juiced them you'll find that out pretty quick after trying to drink the stuff. They are a great anti-fungal though I don't know exactly what the reason is. I do know that some medical practices use raw carrot/garlic juice as a way of fighting off yeast in people. So, it's gotta be good and strong. I drank about 4 carrots worth of juice with however many cloves of garlic added in there that I could handle (usually 2) for a week straight. My whole body smelled like garlic! My bed sheets, my clothes, everything. I guess there are worse things to smell like, but it was coming out of my pores I guess and was strong, so be careful about that. It did help though > > I juiced cabbage juice for a while and never had any reactions to it so i'm not sure about the die off. > > - > UC - 1+ years > SCD - 11 months 100% strict and 4 months restricted diet. > Colazol - 9 pills a day > Prednisone 25mg > entocort With vit E mixed in > Back to intro/stage 1 for now. > > > > > > > > > > > To: BTVC-SCD > From: martinoellen73@... > Date: Sun, 16 May 2010 23:07:09 +0000 > Subject: questions on juicing > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Hi, > > > > I am considering juicing to add some vegetable power to my smoothies and reduce the sugar content. (i've been on the diet for a month). I know these juices are pretty intense, how much do you think is good to start with - maybe 1 oz or so? > > > > Also, I'm limiting my intake of avocados and bananas and am worried about calorie intake...are there any high-calorie, low-carb vegetables or fruits that would be good in juicing form or otherwise? Haha, now that I read that again, it doesn't seem possible - low carb, high calorie...avocados are an anomaly i suppose and I guess they're medium carb..but maybe some exotic fruits/veggies that I've never heard of? > > > > Mostly, I'm excited to use spinach b/c it has good protein and i've tolerated it well in pureed form. If you could recommend any other veggies that are relatively low carb that I could juice for smoothies, that would be great. > > > > I also am confused about carrot juice - with its high sugar content, is it really helpful for controlling yeast? I suppose if you only use it once or twice a week in small amounts, its benefits would outweigh its problems? > > > > Oh and one more question - cabbage juice, is it more or less intense than probiotic supplements in causing die-off reactions? > > > > Thanks for reading, > > > > Ellen > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > _________________________________________________________________ > The New Busy is not the old busy.
