Juicer Question?

That's breakfast, then you maybe do it again for lunch, and dinner too.



Liquid is certainly easier to digest than solids, if your concern is giving your body a break rather than supercharging with vitamins. Homemade chicken soup is awesome for this as well.

I'm not sure there's a difference in what americans or australians mean by juice. I certainly use all of those things in different variations. Also, some people go to extremes with drinking juice, just like any other diet. What did you think i meant?

Is there something wrong with drinking juice (whatever way you like it)?

Juice doesn't have any lumps, not even tiny ones. What most Americans make/consume, for their own nefarious purposes, is a liquid with lots of little tiny lumps comprised of the fibrous part of the plant.

I suppose they could be further separated by which path they exit the body... ewww.

It's a cultural obsession here. To say one is "juicing" almost by definition means the extreme juice dieters. (It can also mean steroid use, but that's different.) There's nothing wrong with drinking juice. But fargon's description of his plan sounded very much like the obsessive fad diet that is common here--not "drinking juice," but "juicing." For most people it's an unsustainable lifestyle.

I have the same impression as Clod does. I'm thinking that Fargon means juice diet as in all he'll consume is juice
