juicing

I wondered how anyone added juicing to their No S diet. It's not a complete meal, but if I don't sit down and eat a meal I feel like I'm not following the program. It's so dang healthy, I'd like to find a way to work it in. Thanks

I so much prefer chewing my food and getting the pulp/fiber in my body. Not to be argumentative, but I would say the jury is actually out on juicing. This from the Mayo Clinic. http://www.mayoclinic.org/juicing/exper ... q-20058020

and "Do large multi national epidemiological studies bear out that juicing is effective for cancer? March 4-6, 2008 I attended the Fifth International
Congress on Vegetarian Nutrition. With over 700 in attendance, representing over 40 countries the congress was reestablished as the premiere scientific conference on plant based diets. Scientists from a dozen different countries shared the podium to impart their evidence for the efficacy of vegetarian nutrition. In many cases we were asked not to photograph the presenters slides as they were unpublished data. One such case was a presenter from Europe revealing his data from several countries on the benefit of vegetable consumption for the prevention of
cancer. One slide showed that consumption of the recommended servings of whole vegetables reduced the risk of cancer by 30% (OR 0.7), while for the same population, consumption of the vegetables as juice raised the risk for cancer by 30% (OR 1.3). In other words,
juicing increases the risk of cancer." What about Juicing?

Yeah, I know I'm cherry-picking...

I don't rule juicing out if the situation warrants, but I'm not sure what it would be.

That being said, what's wrong with drinking the juice along with eating the denser items at a meal, if you really enjoy juice? Don't let the ideal be the enemy of the good.

I am interested in juicing and I would say add it TO a meal, or drink it in between. It's juice, its a liquid, it's not a meal IMHO, so I would think we could drink it between meals. It's not like we can't put anything in our mouths ever except for three times a day. We are "allowed" to have drinks in between meals. Water, milk, juice, tea, coffee - of course each of these have variations that make them more or less healthy but I would think if you make juice (which would be the equivalent of fresh squeezed OJ) it would be OK to drink between times, or with meals.

Reinhard just cautions to pay attention to how much fruit it takes to produce juice. It can be eye-opening to see how many oranges go into a little glass.

I do not always juice, but when I do I juice Granny Smith apples and carrots. - The Most Interesting No Ser in the World.

I drink juice (rarely) between meals on N days, if I make it myself. As in by hand, not stuffing multiple fruits and veg into a big machine.

I find it easy to believe that eating a whole fruit or vegetable has more benefits than just the juice. I also find that juice doesn't satisfy - I'm more likely to go ahead and eat a bunch of dense foods than I would be if I'd eaten a helping of whole fruit and veg.
