i eat greens and veggies...i work at a juice bar and on the rare occasion i actually juice for myself, i make zuchinni, celery, parsley, cucumber, but even this is often too sweet and i do this perhaps twice a year deal? we have a shitty champion now we used to have this waring...i have heard "masticating" type juicers to be the best because they replicate the chewing/cell breakdown process....still think juicing is silly but
from my experience, i am a person who has always loved and craved vegetables, i eat them whenever i see them in the wild, and still eat a fair amount...although as my health improves my cravings for them is smaller, is till crave "green" or cabbage and can tell a corresponding ailment or deficiency(i have poor assimilation still from allergies, perhaps when this clears up i will be able to get all nutrients from meat, now i feel like veggies are suppliments/powerful vitamins)
best veggies/greens, combine with fat/fatty meat/fish:
kale, cabbage(savoy, napa, red), lettuces (romaine, heritage varieties), raddicio, arugula, endive, bokchoy, cress/water cress, amaranth, lambs quarter, other wild greens, parsley, basil, tatsoi, alfalfa, mung, pea, sunflower sprouts, fennel, lovage, green beans when they are in season
salty veg to chew and but harsh fiber best to spit out:
celery, chard
hydrating veggies:
cucumber, celery, bok choy, aloe, cactus pad
good for intestines, digestion:
zuchinni, okra, fennel, parsleys and herbs, aloe(fresh is delicious!), cactus pads...zuch+cabbage juice seems to be a powerful tonic for ulcers etc....
raw roots, can be eaten as a meal unto themselves if blood sugar is not affected:
carrots, potatoes, sweet potatoes, turnips, other roots
best to juice for medicinal purposes:
cabbage, zuchinni, parsley, basils, garlic, ginger, cucumber, all of the other greens
i think fermented veggies are also beneficial, perhaps more so then juices....
if at all possible it is best to grow your own veggies/herbs or find a reputable source, you have to understand that "industrial organics" are still growing veggies that are going to be sweeter hybrids that are genereally larger and more nutrient deficient because that is what sells and they abuse their soil and the natural processes
this maybe controversial but i think each persons constitution is different, its also a pretty crude list and does not even go into different herbs, roots, etc that have beneficial medicinal qualities(tumeric, ginger, fennel seeds, burdock root, cayenne are common) ...i know that my ancestry goes far back with natives to southern north/central americas who became farmers, perhaps this is why i eat veggies....i also eat winter squash and seeds cooked(not boiled!) with a bit of water til it is warmed, you can tell when these things get cooked you can taste the sugars and if they get to this point i usually throw them out for the squirrels as it is too sweet for me to handle
