Getting juiced without roids

viciousdogatak

I just got a new power juicer. For some digestive reasons, I have trouble with all the fiber/roughage in vegetables, so I decided to get a juicer to consume my vegetables. My only problem is that I can't really find exact nutritional info about juicing. If I juice 1 piece of broccoli, do I get all the nutrition from that piece of broccoli? If not, is there a general equivalence for any generic vegetable?

Mmmm... Cocks...

Did some google-fu for a hot minute and this was what I stumbled upon.

1 cup of carrot or celery juice provides most of the same nutrients found in 5 cups of those same vegetables chopped up.

If you juice the whole thing you get all the nutrients, unless you dont drink all of the juice.

The nutrients dont go anywhere just cus you cut up the food.

The main thing you're missing out on is the fiber, which is a pretty important part of the veggies for a human. Hopefully you're working with a doctor to make sure your diet fits those needs some other way.

That's actually very interesting. I've been steaming vegetables, but my house smells like steamed vegetables and I don't like that.

What kind of juicer did you get, and does it process un-chopped stuff?

LINKY PLS.

This is the juicer I got: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001RLYOEE

It can juice pretty much anything, you just have to chop it enough to get the food into the input hole. You can leave the skin on Kiwis or Pineapples if you want, but you still have to cut it so it fits in. The input hole is slightly larger than a 50 cent piece I would estimate

The fibers still there. Like metamucil, liquid fiber.

Have you taken metamucil? I've taken psyllium husk as a supplement and I down that stuff as fast as I can. It's a liquid the same way oatmeal is a liquid.
