Juice Feast Day 17

Daniel’s GeneWize capsules came today. I am excited for him. He’s never supplemented before, except for some Centrum a few years ago, or some fish oil now and then.

We’ll see how his health is impacted by the GeneWize.

One video I came across recently blew my mind, and I
can’t wait to implement on my blog everything I’ve
been learning.

This time around my regimen is even closer to the 80/10/10 ideal espoused by Dr. Douglas Graham.  Again, it was not my intention to get to 80/10/10, but I’m glad that I have, if only just to see for myself what the result of such a diet is.

Juice Feast Day 13

I went to the Denver Raw Potluck Meetup today. What fun that was. There were lots of great people, and some amazing food. I successfully avoided eating anything, probably because I brought a gallon of juice with me to share.

Juice Feast Day 12

Today was my first day doing all of my juicing with my new Blendtec blender. I took Katrina Rainoshek’s advice and cut the produce into small chunks, not quite diced, so that the blender could grab hold.

In the first batch I loaded the two bunches of chopped lacinato kale and one cup of water, and let that get liquified. I then added the two heads of chopped romaine in three steps, adding more only once the previous addition had been completely blended.

I then poured the very deep green contents of the blender into a nylon bag and squeezed the bag over a bowl.  I was amazed at how little fiber was left in the bag after all of that produce had gone in.

The second batch was the 1.5# of roma tomatoes, the two red bell peppers, and an ounce or two of fresh basil leaves. I decided to leave the lemon and salt out this time.

In the third batch I did only two large heads of celery. Again, I was amazed at how much less waste matter there was left over, about 1/3 of what I’d experienced with the Jack LaLanne juicer.

Because I didn’t want to have to clean up the JL juicer and the Blendtec, I decided against juicing the carrots this morning. Perhaps tomorrow.

Juice Feast Day 11

I picked up the produce from Growers Organic again, today. I got a case (30 heads) of celery, 1/2 case (10#) of roma tomatoes, 1/2 case (14 bunches) of lacinato kale, 1/2 case (16ea) of red bell peppers, 1# bag of basil, 25# of juicing carrots, 1 case (12 heads) of romaine lettuce, and 1/2 case (16ea) of cucumbers. The total was about $140.

(Day 295 - 71 To Go) October 22, 2008
Juice Feast Day 10

I’m finishing up my produce from the last batch and am excited to get a little more variety in my juice. I do tend to get into a rut with what works best in the juicer and that is tasty.  I expect to add some kale and some basil and cucumbers.

Juice Feast Day 9

Just got in from The Egg & I, a breakfast place here in Denver. Since I’m on my juice feast, I ordered juice. Thank goodness they had fresh-squeezed grapefruit.
