when juicing. There's a lot of sugar in fruit and it hits you faster when you juice it. So you need to limit fruits when juicing. You will still get live enzymes by eating the fruit whole. When it comes to vegetables, the root vegetables like carrots and beet are higher in sugar than celery, lettuce, greens, etc.

I would suggest you enter into juicing slowly so you can monitor your sugar and let your body adapt to the change. We usually take our juice with some protein and fat. In other words....we have it with dinner or breakfast in a wine glass.

Shiney Sue many hugs in rhe hospital. I am sure it passes the time having a computer.I am so sorry you are there. Your are in my thoughts always.
The juicer is like that 80 plus Jack guy on tv. What ever he does sure works. He looks great. I have no idea what to put in there. I like smoothies. You can make your own v8 juice. That seems healthy. The holistic doc was saying how fruit juices even if 100 juice are still not the greatest choice better a v8. I think it is better to eat fruit in the whole yet I think the juice would be better then the candy I eat.

And I am aware of the sugar content in fruits. I rarely eat fruit.

Never after breakfast anyway.

This morning I had a small glass of the Juiceman Juice that I did in the machine.

That's it for me for the day.

I then went to dunkin with my husband and we had breakfast.

I took a walk, I am now lifting 5 lb weights, doing lots of reps with little weights, because I don't want to gain any muscle weight.

So it's a work in process.

I'm not the type to juice all day or at every meal. That would drive me nuts, (It's a pain in the neck to clean the machine).

But once in the morning is fine with me. But if Alan wants to make himself a carrot apple pear drink in the afternoon, he can cut up the stuff himself and then clean the machine.

I'm not worried because this man won't go into the kitchen.

I dun did growed up on a chicken farm and Melody, this statement isn't necessarily true. Only fertilized eggs have embryo's with placenta's. The eggs you will buy in the store are not fertilized--they come from farms where there are only hens, no cocks, or roosters as you city folk would call em! Honest, there is nothing for you to worry about in those eggs you have been eating. I honestly did grow up on a chicken farm. We had 3000 hens, in cages, 2 to a cage. Hens lay eggs, without males around.

Eggs are safe once again for you!!!!!

Well, gosh darn, thank you, Melody! I had searched and searched on the web and for some reason just couldn't come up with this exchange information. I sure appreciate it. I am well on the way to a healthier me. I think your advice about not eating "white" stuff has helped me the most.

Okay, okay!!!

I'll eat two eggs a week!!!!

But they better not be runny!!! lol
