Some words have red flags attached. Devitalized,cleansing,purification and especially detoxification scream bogusness but the add never came. Juice is good if you can keep a lid on the sugar intake.

Yes the truth about fructose seems to be coming to light, it is thought to give you an insulin surge which is responsible for laying down extra fat. Think of how many apples you would be able to eat at one sitting (not many) compared to how many you would juice for a single glass.. vegetable juices don't seem to have the adverse effects however.

I'm on a "no grain" diet, have shed six kilos in about a month and the fellow who advocates the plan advises not to eat fruit in the early stages. It's difficult when I live in a subtropical fruit-lovers paradise, have cheated a few times as one can imagine :-( My mangoes are having their best year yet, some of the R2E2 are almost half the size of my head. Luckily they freeze well once cheeked.

Phil the weight loss is due to the removal of starchy carbs (and probably the sugar contained therein). Does work to lose weight, but you could probably do the same thing by cutting out all sugar (this means no Milk, incidentally) be careful with low carb diets; if you start to feel lethargic and irritable and sort of daydreamy then treat yourself to a bowl of quinoa or similar. High protein diets are not all they are cracked up to be, especially if they are high in red meats. We are not actually meant to eat this very often, and in the natural world would have had to work very hard to get it; this is still the case in primitive societies today. Think about it; it takes a lot of energy to run down a pig in the jungle with a spear, but since meat is energy dense, this would have offset the energy out and created an equilibrium. A fair bit different than just buying a kilo of mince from Coles. If you are getting in a good amount of rhizomes it shouldn't be a problem though--but you would need something super starchy, like potato.Make your two main meals breakfast and lunch, and have little to no evening meal( you don't need to fuel your body during sleep, this is the worst dietary convention operational in western society). It depends on the lifestyle you have and what sort of training you're doing also. When I used to train muay thai I'd devour ice-cream tubs of fluffy white rice and pasta with vegetables often twice a day, and was very, very lean. That said, there was some vomit-inducing cardio accompanying that diet. Wouldn't rate my chances of getting even a quarter way through a session these days, its all guitar playing and coco pops at this point in my life :D

The web of life, including our bodies is so complex and interrelated that I don't think we have even begun to understand it. Add to that, that everyone is a little bit different and no wonder even the "experts" can't agree.
If you find something that works for you then go with it.
When I cut out or greatly reduce refined carbs, mainly sugar in all it's forms and drink raw green juices(as well as regular food) I see improvement in my skin and energy levels within 3 days. Someone else may not have the same results.
Add to that issues like food allergies, emotional eating, acummulated toxins etc etc, the list goes on,no wonder we get confused.

ylr says...
Jantina, you're right it seems not all gets the same results when they turn to juicing fruits and vegetables, some are positive, some are not. One thing is for sure though, we really can benefit from this juicing given the fact that we still get nutrients from these fruits and vegetables needed by our body.It might not be sometimes the whole nutrient that we are getting from eating it whole cause it depends on your preparation as well. I remember the question my niece asked me, which is better to prepare fruits and vegetable juice, by using a blender or by using a juicer?

That's another topic to discuss and I'm quite sure not all have the same opinion.

Seen it Julie, an excellent watch. It might be found on Youtube.

I use a vitamix (blender) by the way for juice. I don't think land based veggies and fruit have all the trace minerals humans need at least not in modern depleted soils they are grown in. I've been considering two ways around that, either drink very small amounts of sea water or drink mud from a really good source. Haven't tried the sea water yet.. Mud goes good

Jantina says...
Just be aware of where you get the bull kelp. There are people here who still fish at Finger Point (local sewerage outlet into the sea) all the sewerage from Mt Gambier ends up there including all the waste from the hospital. Makes you wonder.
We had our soil tested for minerals and then had a personalised mix made up containing the missing minerals as well as soil good bacteria etc. It was a bit of a hassle spreading it all without big farm machinery but worth it I believe. We have to do it a few more times to bring the Brix level of plants up to where it should be. I also made up a mineral lick for my cows and that was the end of any mastitis and therefore no need of antibiotics which only fix the problem in the short term but makes more long term problems.

You're a good man Brendan, thanks.

I don't know about you jeremiahdobson but according to archeological evidence we Chinese have been eating cooked food for hundreds of thousands of years; that is pre industrial age, I think. And raw food is almost totally absent from our traditional diet though with global influence even I eat a salad sometimes. It hasn't killed me yet but I don't over do it. :)

Mike Tr says...
jdobson cooking is actually positive for many vegeies in allowing nutrients to be more accessible.I do prefer potatoes,sweet potatoes,taro and if fact most root vegies cooked.I suppose that is the same for pumpkin,garlic,brussell sprouts,eggplants and a whole lot more.Mary is correct in that fire to cook food predates Homo sapien sapien and even H.erectus cooked in fires hundreds of millenia ago.

jakfruit etiquette says...
Yes Mike, but those early Human species who used fire to cook are now long extinct, but Raw Food Apes(chimps, gorillas, orang's) are still around.

Mike Tr says...
H.sapiens 180 00 - 200 000 years ago in places like Ethiopia used to cook and the H.erectus who cooked well before that are our ancestors.
Cooking coincided with an explosive expansion,success and diversification and might have had something to do with it.Raw taro,yams and cassava are not my cup of tea.

thats also good wok cooking..It is also important to clean your wok after each use. Also season your wok before using it for the first time. Seasoning removes the preservative oil manufacturers place on the wok to prevent rust, replacing it with a light coating of cooking oil.its good to have a variety of how you eat vegetables, either by wok cooking or juicing..when my laziness to cook strikes me? juicing is the answer!
