"Most dieticians teach on the ADA calorie recommended diet. For instance if they tell you to be on a 1800 ADA diet they are recommending 13-15 carb servings a day (1 serving = 15 gms). Just like everything, few people are textbook examples and react…"

"Thank you. I have a new machine that is a breeze, both in juicing and in cleanup. I am juicing twice a day. It seems the only way I can get enough veggies."

"I did do juices for awhile. The machine we had was too much hassle. But I think it's a great thing for you to work with!"

Judith replied to David Fallen's discussion 'New to this Forum, and some questions.'
"That's been interesting to study, actually. Some veggies release more of their nutrients when lightly steamed or sauteed in a healthy oil. So, for instance, when I make my big salads, I might put some sweet peppers and spinach in raw, but also…"

"Cathy, I hate to say this but when I was in SD and ND I was quite a bit younger and I loved winter. Now I am 67 and live in Virginia, the thought of a winter up north now makes me shiver. My wife and I have often thought of a trip back to visit some…"
