Like a lot of people I was inspired to buy a juicer and start juicing. I'm only part-time, but I want to do a full time juice after the new year when diet temptations are low. A lot of the reasoning/science behind why this works can be found in the books/works of Joel Fuhrman, MD. He is a proponent of micronutrition through plant based whole foods: greens, reds, oranges, purples, etc and nuts. Stay away from the "white" foods like pasta, and grains. Get enough micronutrients and you will be satisfied and lose weight. Neither are connected in any way, but they are saying the same things.

Gret doc and he's a very engaging host. If you want you can follow both on FaceBook, as I am.
