Sounds like your already juicing, and doing well...I had already quit the coffee several months ago so no headache, but other beneficial changes...
at times the craving to have something chewier then juice came, but I'd only
be cheating myself so I stuck with it, and will continue.

How terrific that you can grow your own greens! Welcome to Veggie/Vegan world.

Several other veggie lovers here also grow their greens, and other plants.

Drinking lots of H2O I've found is a must to feel full, and more comfortable.

continued success, Greco

I always have drank a lot of water. I must drink at least a gallon or more. How do you think I get this awesome complexion and hardly any wrinkles?? lol

Growing greens is pretty easy actually if you ever want to to take the plunge I'm happy to help. Better yet come on out to the farm, I'll put you to work, you'll learn, get healthy and I'll get free labor. lol

I juice a lot of kale, romaine, spinach, bok choy, celery, fennel, even broccoli. Whatever I can get my hands on. I take the pulp which still has some nutrients and I feed it to my hens, blend in my vitamix and add it to my dog food and or compost it. As you know there's lots!

One of my favorite things lately when I'm craving sweets (which is several times a day ) I put frozen organic mango in the vitamix, a banana. pineapple and some rice milk. It's yummy!
