I have found with juicing I get some weird and not so weird side effects, one being:
- I am awake and ready to go at like 6am. Normally I get up around 7:30ish, but when I start a reboot my body starts waking up even earlier...weird. Its happened both time I've juiced.
- I have tons of energy. I know not necessarily weird but when your accustomed to tanking around lunch time and again just before dinner time, being able to go from 6am - 10pm without every needing that "second wind" is weird...just saying.
- The headaches I used to get are GONE when I juice. I think they were partly due to dehydration (when you reboot you have to drink TONS of water) and partly due to unhealthy eating habits.
I have alot of people ask me what I juice, what juicer I use, and so on, so here are a few of my tips:
- I use this juicer and LOVE IT!! Did you get that? L O V E I T!!! http://www.amazon.com/Breville-BJE200XL-700-Watt-Compact-Fountain/dp/B000MDHH06/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1334320725&sr=8-1
- Why do you love it you say? Because I get alot of juice from it. Its easy to clean up. And I can plunk a whole sweet potato down it and it doesn't even hesitate to take it on. Or how about a pineapple. I cut a pineapple into 1/4's and stick it in skin and all. This thing is a hoss!
- I juice whatever I have in my fridge. Normally for breakfast its a fruity juice and for lunch and dinner its a veggie juice. ex. this morning was: pineapple, pear, apple, carrot. I added that to a blender with some spinach, banana, & blueberries...YUM For lunch or dinner I do celery, beet, bell pepper, cabbage, & a apple. Whatever I have it goes into the juicer.
- Sometimes I have to choke down a juice, but its during those times I think "its better this goes in me than a stupid cheeseburger and fries!" Or I sure can't wait to fit in those size 12 pants!!!
I am so doing this when I get the kiddo weaned! :) Thanks for all the good info!
