This is one of the very best videos on juicing because these green juices are keto friendly and low sugar abd packed with chlorophyll and vitamins and minerals. I drink green low sugar juices like this. If anyone has blood sugar issues like myself avoid juicing carrots, beets and all sweet fruits except cucumbers and lemons or limes. I reversed pre diabetes with this strategy and eat green salads with nuts and seeds and green berry smoothies. I dilute my green juices with spring water or cold plain unsweetened green tea with apple cider vinegar and Ceylon Cinnamon to lower blood sugar levels. I juice greens regularly buy wish it would reverse hairloss. It doesn't unfortunately. I am not Keto but low sugar green juices in moderation is safer.

Hi John

Just letting you know how much i appreciate your detailed videos

I’ve watched you for a while

Bought an omega juice several years ago at your recommendation

Now i just purchased this nama ii

Expect to enjoy it

Thank you for being charitable enough to spend your time helping others

I appreciate you for it

All the best

Peace

I've been juicing for 20 yrs now and have used many different juicers depending on the items to be juiced. I've been using the J2 for 3 months now and can say that it is the best all around juicer for juicing all different types of fruits and veggies. Remember to load in the leafy greens first then fruits then hard veggies. Good Luck!

I just purchased the Nama J2. I absolutely cannot wait until it arrives.

[songsparrow]

Thank you, John, for sharing your valuable insight and information. I ordered and used your Discount Code!!!

[jessicapinto]

The Omega now has a new juicer called "The effortless batch juicer" it looks just like the Nama I would love to see a comparison on these two!!! that would be something and the omega has no mesh screen to clean I am a little interested

[KrazyReactsByLadyK]

I just got my nama j2 and I’m excited 😊 about my machine I used ur discount code

[elevatednorthglass]

Just got my j2 with your code a couple days ago. I think I am now too excited for gardening season.

[juliel.bateson]

Thank you for doing this video John!!!
I 🥰🥰🥰my J2

A lot of foam Jonathan and that is why I prefer the horizontal juicers for greens and cucumber.

[keijuhl]

I usually enjoy eating vegetables, but enjoy juicing fruits.

Hey John. Could you do a video juicing cabbage with the Nama 2 versus another vertical style juicer like Omega, Tribest, or Kuvings? I'm trying to start juicing cabbage regularly and unfortunately my vertical style juicer (an older Omega VRT, which I love, don't get me wrong) has a pretty small feed chute. I'm trying to find something to make the process much simpler and quicker.

You have to dice up the celery because if you just stick it in whole, the fibrous celery strands will clog up the discard port. Diced up they are too small to clog the port.

Hi, thanks for your informative videos. Q: Is there a difference between packaged “juice carrots“ & regular carrots?
I bought a 25# bag of juice carrots. I juiced them & they are very bitter juiced & raw. They taste odd, almost like chemical flavor. Thanks for your help.

[GoldenJoe]

I've been doing some nutrition calcs for the juices I sell. Biggest drawback on fruit juices is of course the high sugar content, but not all veggies are created equal either. Celery and Cucumber are practically worthless compared to a bag of Spinach or Kale. If you can tolerate ten extra grams of sugar (which even a diabetic can handle), it's actually better to have a mildly fruity juice with a lot of spinach/kale than a pure green juice that is mostly cucumber. Collard greens are very good, and watercress is insane if you can get your hands on it.

I am going to buy the nama j2 and definitely using your code that thing cost 550$ USA

[angelawilliams]

What was the name of the book you recommended for juicing?

[infoplus]

I know you talk about the I wish I would have done things a little differently but as new people trying to improve their health telling them to do an all green juice may not be a good way to begin. It took me years to be able to tolerate green juices and that was after drinking them first with fruits then slowly eliminating the sweeter things, the first time I juiced kale I thought it looked like and tasted like green paint, and to be honest I still do and can barely drink it with other greens mixed in. I really I would have said no way this is not for me, if I tried only greens in the beginning before I could slowly develop an appreciation for it, even now I would prefer to do kale a little celery some cucumber and a green apple to help it go down.
