Bought myself a juicer today for my diet, however its gona be expensive, bought loads of friut today and was suprise how much you need to make a glass of juice lol

Is Juice the best part for you or does any of the fletch contain good for you stuff?

As far as I know the flesh is good for you as well as the juice. Although a fruit juice can be much tastier than just eating a peice of fruit because you can mix different fruits together. Providing your eating lots of fruit, whole or juiced it will be good for you! :)

I thought about buying a juicer a while ago but my daughter-in-law suggested we borrowed theirs first (Theirs was stuck in a cupboard not being used)  I too was surpised at the amount of fruit needed to make a glass of juice and how much of the fruit was left in the juicer.  We were always taught that fruit 'bits' were needed for 'roughage' which was being thrown out...........so their juicer is now up our loft (unused) they wouldn't even take it back from us!!  :)  It could have been an expensive mistake for me........and it was a pain to clean!  :)

I always buy some bags of frozen fruit

After i have juiced i use the mushy flesh left over and stir it in the juice. Means less waste and makes it thicker more like a smoothy.
Pineapple produces lots of juice (but is quite expensive to buy). However you can get 3 good glasses (mixed with other fruit/veg) out of an average sized pineapple. Celery and carrot are also good ones to get lots of juice.

I'm with Oldilocks; too much waste and really hard to clean. We've just bought a smoothie maker and its marvellous, just chuck in the fruit and water/milk put on the lid and go. Plus you only have to wash the jug, and its detachable. 
  If you make veg juice you can add the mush to make a soup. The roughage is good for you.

try lidl, their fruit and veg are always really nice (not hot house flavourless stuff) and are SUPER cheap (you can tell i'm a student, lol)

The problem with juice is you get all the calories and fruit sugars but not the fiber and some of the vitamins in the pulp and skin. If I was dieting for weight loss or health I'd eat the fruit whole. I like juice but treat it like sodas or nice coffees; a once a day treat.

have no idea about diets because it's not something i've done, but im sure Jordan did a juicing diet after she had Junior and lost lots of weight from doing it???How would that work then. It makes sense what you said Lori so im not critisising but if you get the calories and sugar, surely you'd put on weight with juicing???
I could be talking rubish though as im more into fitness than diet, just wondered?

I think that you can use a juicer for vegetable juices too which would be far lower in calories than using fruit. :)

Losing weight is just physics, if you use more calories than you take in then you lose the weight. You can use more by increasing exercise or raising your metabolism (building muscle mass for instance like you with fitness). You can decrease what you take in by eating less or eating lower calorie foods. I could eat 3 candy bars a day and lose weight if that's all I ate - I'd be pretty hungry though and not very healthy. (although, I was really thin and healthy when I lived on candy, cakes and sweets ;-)) So you're right Freds mum, you could lose weight and drink juice. It's just you'll feel fuller eating an apple then you would drinking the juice from it so it wouldn't be my first choice for dieting - that's all I'm saying.

yes, things like carrot and apple are ment to be good for you.

Thanks for that :-)
See i actually found juicing very filling, especially when i used pineapple or melon as it made the juice quite thick.  Tried some weird combinations which were also lovely. Pineapple, celery and carrot was nice :-) :-) :-)
Made my skin look great aswell because i was getting my 5 fruit and veg at least every day and all my vits and mins. Do agree that it was quite alot of faff though!!
