What is the best reccomended juicer for home juicing?

Q. I would like to start juicing at home with fresh fruits and veggies, but I am torn as I do research to what would be a good investment? I am looking for something under the 200$ price range, and I am open to suggestions and expierences of fellow juicers! Thank you! Happy juicing!

A. For just under $200 you can get the Breville BJE510XL juice extractor. This centrifugal juicer is a great one if you are juicing fruits. However, if the majority of your produce is vegetables then I would recommend the Omega J8006. This masticating juicer is a great machine for juicing vegetables and make healthy juices too. You can get more comprehensive reviews about the juicers via these links

Is it normal to consume more calories on a juicing fast than a normal diet?
Q. I've just started juicing and I'm noticing that each juice drink I make is about 350 calories or so. So I end up consuming more than my normal 1300 calories per day. To be expected?
I've also lost a lot of weight and right now I'm just trying to lose an extra 15lbs that have crept up over the last two years. I'm only 5'2" so 1300 calories is definitely not too little.

A. Depending on how tall you are 1300 calories doesnt seem like enough. Im currently trying to loose weight and if I go below 1500 calories i actually wont loose any weight at all. How many of these juice drinks are you drinking a day? Make sure these drinks dont have a lot of sugar and make sure your getting the right nutrients.
This may depend on how tall you are im like 5 10 so i burn a lot of calories


what is the best juicing book to buy?
Q. I am new into the juicing world. I would like a book with information about juicing, but always with recipes. Anyone know of any great juicing books???
EDIT- Thos are not good juicing machines. I have the best juicer they make.

A. I bought "Juicing for Life" a few years back and I really like it. I've not purchased a new one because this is so thorough. It's by Cherie Calbum and Maureen Kane. One of them holds a master's degree in nutrition. It has TONS of great recipes.


How do you make fruits & vegetables last longer after juicing?
Q. I want to start juicing for health reasons, but I can't afford to buy a lot of fruits and vegetables that go bad quickly after juicing. Any tips on how to make the juice last longer in the fridge?

A. The more fiber there is in your juice the longer it will last in the fridge. So try adding some of the pulp back into the juice. If you have a blender you can make smoothies (which have more fiber). Also, try to always juice an orange as citrus juices act as a natural preservative. You can also add lemon or lime juice but watch it doesn't make the juice too bitter.
