Thank you for your reply. I do think that the Vitamix is good for "drinking" your vegies, as it does liquify them much better than a blender. I believe this is called juice feasting...since you consume the entire vegie.

I also have done five or six (Master Cleanse) fasts...and one 37 day...and fasting did change my life, in that I not only lost a lot weight, but I cured myself of hip pain and lowered by blood pressure and cholesterol levels. I did not gain the weight back because I ate vegan after that. Fasting slows your metabolism and so you have to eat carefully for a similar amount of time in order for it to come back up. You also have to mind your manners after that. If you go back to bad habits, of course the weight will come back. I did't keep it all off, as it is inevitable that you will regain 3-4 pounds due to food in various stages of digestion remaining in your system, but I lost about 35 pounds with my long fast, and kept 25-30 of them off for five years or more. I did that by changing my eating habits (which was surprisingly easy to do after a long fast) and doing short, three day fasts now and then. In fact I am still not as big as I was before that.

A lot of things came up after that...dental implants, complicantions from dental impants, moving to another state, not working any more...that changed my lifestyle habits..not for the better. Now I am paying for it.

I am surprised by what you say about wheat grass. I have heard nothing but good things about it.

I am thinking about buying an Omega 8004 or VRT350X or HD. They claim to juice wheat grass and other greens really well. I am not sure what you mean by a "gear" juicer.

I will check out the websites you send me.
