| this if from the www.juicemaster.com thought it might be of interest:
Can you live on nothing but fruit, veg & juice? Oh yes indeed - with a few nuts and seeds thrown in for good measure! It is more than possible and yes you would be extremely healthy, but having NOTHING but raw food 24/7 - 365 - well it's not for me. I once had nothing but freshly extracted fruit and veggie juices for 3 months- yes - THREE WHOLE MONTHS! Trust me, that's a looooooong time to live on just juices. The only reason that I did this was to try and clear my skin of psoriasis - I would never have done it otherwise. I lost far too much weight to the point where I made Ally McBeal look fat! Man or women cannot, nor should not, live on juice alone - You need fibre. The max you should have a juice clearout for is 5 - 7 days. I often have days where I eat nothing but raw foods and drink fresh juices. In fact even when I'm eating cooked foods on a particular day, my intake tends to be 70-80% natural fast food. But I am not obsessive and am incredibly flexible, it often depends on where I am or whom I'm with. If you eat nothing but raw food, it doesn't allow for any flexibility in today's world whatsoever. I have heard that you can live on nothing but avocados - they are meant to be the only 'complete food' on the planet. But again quite frankly, a life of just avocados doesn't exactly make me want to spin on my head! So if you want to eat nothing but fruit, veg, juice, nuts and seeds and you are perfectly happy doing it, then brilliant - it will serve you more than well. But as far as I'm concerned, is just too restrictive in today's world, especially when we have dinner parties and especially when there is just no need to. The body was designed to deal with a certain amount of just about anything... so eat, relax & enjoy! kazaline |
