The setup

My arsenal for good health. I call this survivalism.  These tools are making my life healthier every day.  I have a juicer, a Vitamix blender, a Magic Bullet, and some odd and end hand tools.  I really don't use the stove or oven any more except to cook for the kids.  

Well, after more than a week of juicing I  have learned a few things.
1)  You can mix almost anything together...there are no real rules.  But apples make everything taste good.
2)  The juicer we bought (Breville Juice Fountain) is great for most things but not leafy greens.  I have a way to increase the amount of nutrient-rich green juice you get from Kale and other leafys.  I put them in the Vitamix with some water (not a lot of water-about half way up the pitcher full of greens) and blend until smooth.  Then I filter them through a mesh strainer and voila!  Much more product than from the juicer and fantastic taste. 
3)  I can go a LONG time on juice without feeling hungry.  Much longer than on food.  Amazing.

Day 5 of the Reboot - the switch to pure juicing is tomorrow.  I am ready.  I had a kickin salad last night and some fresh-made tomato soup for lunch.  I feel a little hungry but not too bad.  Even with a short sleep last night, I feel alert and energetic.  I love juicing and making fresh food in my Vitamix.

My adventure in "Rebooting"

For the past 4 days, I have been doing a "reboot" - I watched the movie "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead" with Joe Cross and I was inspired to spend the next 15 days juicing and eating only "micronutrient rich" foods like fruits, vegetables and nuts/seeds.  Day 4 is almost over and I am feeling so energetic and healthy.  It is really worth a try.  Juicing and preparing fresh food is soul enriching and body enhancing.
