Will pulverize anything. Love mine. Green.

Well, suddenly everyone I'm talking to is doing juice fasts and such. I figure it wouldn't hurt. Seems to be a great machine with some reviews that raise an eyebrow, but I'm in.

Good choice. No snake oil here. It does what it says, lofty reviews aside.

You get good, quality juice. End of story. Worth it, IMO.

Not into that, but from what I understand, yes. Just fine.

There are a few different types of juicers on the market so for the uninitiated, it's best to do your research so you are not disappointed.This is a masticating juicer. There are also centrifugal juicers and high speed blenders, such as the Blendtec or Vitamix. Each does something a little different and each has pros and cons. This is an excellent, high quality juicer. It juices at low speeds which is supposed to preserve the enzymes in the juice better. Additionally, though prep to juice takes a bit longer because you have to cut the fruits and veggies up smaller, you can store this juice for up to 72 hours without the enzymes degrading.

We started out with a Jack LaLanne that I got on Freecycle. It works well for what it is, but the pulp comes out very wet, meaning I am not getting all of the juice. Also, it does not do as well with dry greens, and that is what I am looking to do more juicing of. Juicing is expensive, especially if you are using organic produce. But the health benefits can be immense. This is especially true if one is not inclined to eat raw veggies on a daily basis.

I also recommend the movie "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead" for those who have not watched it. Lots of good info in there about juicing and healthy eating in general.

Ordered one yesterday from Macy's with 15% coupon. Came to 189 shipped with tax.

the best thing I ever bought: vitamix blender. I got a refurbished one with 7-yr warranty for $370 with free shipping

In the last 3 weeks I have lost 15lbs with replacing my usual breakfast and lunch with green smoothies & healthy snacks in-between

1. green smoothies
2. almond and soy milk
3. peanut butter & other nut butters
4. hummus
5. tortilla soup

Yes, Blendtec will be my next splurge. For now my regular blender does an amazingly good job at making smoothies, but when it kicks a Blendtec will take its place on my counter.

the Macy's coupons I have won't work with this...wonder if someone got lucky.

In your opinion, how are they lost and which vitamins in particular are at risk of being lost in juicing? Also, are you speaking specifically of masticating juicers or any juicers?

why not jus eat the veggie. u get the fiber and lose weight at the same times
