This almost makes we want to stop juicing.

For the last three weeks I have "blending". In other words taking most of the fruits and vegetables and putting them into the blender and setting it at puree. The problem is that I had not been getting the surge of energy or a healthy feeling that I thought I would. Instead I was feeling more tired and out of sorts. I started feeling so much like yuck that I stopped.

I initially started just to improve my health, which isn't bad, but I never did eat nearly the recommended amounts of fuits and veggies. My diet was mainly one of meat and potatoes which included some processed and fast foods. I would use the following in my blends:

1 cored apple
2 bananas
2 handfuls of cranberries
1 handful parsley
1/2 cucumber
2 handfuls of broccoli
1 handful of spinach
2 cups orange juice concentrate as a base-I later replace this with milk because the OJ had too much acid for my skin to tolerate.

All these items were store bought, unpeeled and washed/cleaned as well as I was able to do.

This would make about 8 cups of sludge that I would drink in a sitting.

If anyone has any insight as to why I may have felt as bad as I did I would appreciate it. I don't know if it was getting rid of bad things, if I overloaded or shocked my system, or if I am getting too much of a good thing.

Thanks
