cococandy:
that your juice looks thick. what kind of juicer do you use?

I just got the jack lalanne power juicer based on all The reviews I read about it and how powerful it is.
It is great but I feel like half the fruits fibre goes to waste.

I currently use Rachel's, although has bad reviews on amazon, I am very happy with it. I bought it in 2010 and I have had no problems whatsoever with it.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Rachel-Allen-RA-WJ1-Wholefruit-Juicer/dp/B00275G0KU

The thing with juicers is that the more expensive they are the better they are especially for greens and soft fruits like blueberries.

The ideal Xmas pressie to myself this year will be this one as I tend to juice lots of greens as opposed to fruits

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00434JINO/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00434JINO&linkCode=as2&tag=juice-recipes-20

I got this one for $110 (plus shipping)
I saw cheaper ones but I had this same thought 'the more expensive the better'

Maybe I'm just complaining for nothing.

I just hate to see carrot fibre wasting .

I know, you should see the pulp when I juice kale and spinach. I often like chewing the pulp. That is why I want to buy that Omega one. If only I could lay my hands on fresh Ugwu leaves, I will just fashi 'oyibo' greens

Breakkie juice - 5 carrots, 2 apples and 1 sweet potato. I think the greatest and best change I ever made to my diet is juicing.

While you are busy drinking your greens, im enjoying my own like this with orishirishi

I'm going to do my juice detox soon sha.

You know the normal tiny umbrella that wind can decide to change it shape anytime. And you know most naija markets with tiny space for people to move about.

Mean green juice - 4 Celery sticks, 2 cups each of kale and spinach, an inch of ginger, 1 peeled lemon and 2 apples. It is so yummy! I cannot wait to juice Ugwu leaves, some oranges and maybe some papaya

Will try this tomorrow I don't have a juicer though but a smoothie maker. Will that have the same effect? I hope it does cos I have never tried celery in it. Its not nurtri- bullet sha I don't know why I am doing ijebu instead of me to just buy the nutri bullet I will use the money for shoe or brazillian hair God help me o


Just joking though my smoothie maker is not that bad its a breville product called Blend Pro Active and it does its job well. Sometimes though it does not do too well with some some veggies. Will stop doing Ijebu and buy the nutri bullet joor.


Modified... You know I just remembered that we have a juicer in our loft. The thing is just too big and complicated which is why I think I put it away, will try and pscyche hubby to get it out for me.

Lol.....get the juicer out and trust me you will not regret it. Juicing can be addictive and it is a good addiction to have. Smoothie makers just grinds everything to pulp and it can be hard to drink plus you are filled too quickly. If you have one of those tiny sieves you can strain after blending.

Will wait and try with the juicer then.

What do you use for sweetener?

My conversion to the healthy side is not yet complete as I cannot do this juice without a banana to help me sweeten it. #facepalm
I need help.

Abeg carry go jor.

Come, make you do drop engine na. I don ready my gele and 1960's old mama bag for the naming ceremony / baby shower. You know - those deep, deep bags handbags where you fit package plates of jollof rice, chicken legs (Kimoni style ), moi-moi, goat meat (babyosisi style ), with some extra space for Goldspot and Limca...

Yep, family and work are fine. Work's getting hectic so my contributions here will be less frequent. Probably few and far between, hence my shout out to you before I go underground completely.

Re: the other stuff...okay then. As long as you lot are comfortable with it and have proper contingency plans in place. Hardwork, but good luck though. T'is for a worthy cause.

Not to worry,just like my nebor will always say;"very soon"

I will go awool too. Have a lot to do. Almost idle for a long time due to preggy and it's wahala. Hope things will sort themselves out abeg. At least I have a helping hand now and so far so good.

I'm so loving this my area. So quiet, very airy.if one is not careful pneumonia will come calling cos we r surrounded by rocks and hills.
I will wanna climb one day though I heard enough reptiles.

ameenahz:


My questions:

2. Most of the veggies I see here are not available in Nigeria. Can anyone suggest good alternatives?
3. How do I get over food addiction?
4. I need simple but effective exercises for beginners. Any suggestions? NB: Chest always gets in the way.

Thank you all in advance.

Ameenahz, I was out jogging today when I suddenly remembered the bolded bit of your post.

Sister, if you can, go get yourself a good sports bra. It's important you hold your bööbs firmly in place while exercising so you don't hurt yourself. Wear two if necessary.

Additionally, to stay motivated, as you drop quite rapidly in size (at your present weight, that would happen fairly quickly if you're consistent with your dieting AND exercising), consider throwing out / giving away all your old clothes. That's what I did (remember, I was once your size and more). At my heaviest I was on UK dress size 18 pushing on size 20.

The idea behind getting rid of your old clothes is to help you stay focused. You'll be forced to remember the hardwork it's taken you to drop dress sizes, so the last thing you'll want to do is put the weight back on again and having to buy bigger clothes.

Another thing I'd like you to do is to go clothes shopping on a weekend (or when you're free). Have a browse through the outfits on display, and when you see something you really, really, like the best, buy it - but make sure you buy two sizes down your current size. So if for example you're a UK size 18, buy a size 14 of that jeans trouser and sexy top. Then when you get home, hang them in the midst of your current clothes. The aim of doing this is to give you visual stimulation of what you want to be. The body you aspire to attain. just a pair should do for now. It's what I did and I can tell you it certainly worked. So Ameenahz, as you drop dress sizes, get rid of the clothes, even if they're new. It's forward ever, backward never, my dear.

Finally, endeavor not to eat anything beyond 7:00 p.m. If you feel really hungry after that time, snack on fruits and veg. Buy some carrots and chew on them. Also drink lots of water. Keep drinking till your urine becomes clear and colourless. Also try to get at least seven hours worth of sleep at night. Your body needs it.

I hope this helps. Goodluck sister.

Your move sounds like a nice area. Happy for you. I love peace and quiet.

As per scorpions, always, always check your shoes and boots before sliding your feet in. Scorpions (and even snakes) are notorious for crawling in and curling up inside footwear.

Hiking post birth sounds good. Nice gentle exercises. But be sure to purchase some sturdy boots for that. One can never be too careful with reptiles.

Nne, make I crash out for the night. Sleep dey "ca$h" me jor.

Goodnight...

And on the first page, I saw your first mean green juice that I was admiring (well almost). It seems you have it too.

Do you?

It is not as terrible as it sounds. Most of those juices are actually quite tasty and can be sweet when you include certain fruits i.e. apples, oranges, pears etc
