Re: Juicers - Joan

[Guest guest]

Your Welcome Joan! I just wanted to give some of the pro's and con's of the

juicer before anyone invested a lot of money into one.

So, do you raise birds? I have for years and everyone at the grocery store knew

that when I bought the baby food, it was for the baby birds! LOL

I had to give it up though. I just didn't have the energy for it anymore. I

kept 2 of my babies for pets and sold all my pairs. I have a baby Sun Conure

and baby Yellow Sided Green Cheek Conure. They are best buds now!

Re: Juicers

Kathy - thanks for this post. Just last night I asked my brother if I

could borrow his juicer for a month before investing in one. I know

juicing is a good thing to do, but I was thinking about the work and the

mess... and the taste! Plus, you have to know which foods go together

or don't go together and you can overdo some veggies and that's not good for

you. It would take planning and more trips to the grocery store to always

have fresh foods and knowledge of recipes, etc. None of which I have the

energy for right now.

I always have baby food on hand for my birds but never thought to use it

myself! I'm going to try it. Thanks for the tip!

Since I am not a big fan of eating veggies raw and don't like to cook

either, I started eating baby food to get my veggies. Bonus, you also get

fiber! I just chug down a jar of carrots, garden

veggies, etc. Have a glass of water on hand, you will need it! LOL You

do get used to the taste though. I take baby food with me on trips, etc.

My friends think I'm nuts, but who cares.

I lost weight doing this years ago, before thyroid problems. Before every

meal I would eat 2 jars of veggie baby food and drink a full glass of water.

I didn't eat nearly as much for lunch and dinner when I did this!

Just my 2 cents worth,

Kathy
