There are a few rules and guidelines you should know about making juice:
- Wash, scrub, scrape or peel fruits and vegetables prior to juicing them in the same manner that you would prior to eating them.
- Only juice those portions of the fruit or vegetable that you would eat.
- Prepare fruits and vegetables for juicing immediately prior to juicing them.
- Use as many different kinds of fruits and vegetables as possible to insure a wide variety of nutrients are consumed.
- Do not mix fruit juices with vegetable juices as they are digested differently. The only exception to this is:
Apples will mix with vegetable juices
Celery & lettuce may be juiced with fruit juice
Do not mix tomato juice with carrot or potato juice - The majority of your vegetable juice should be either carrot or tomato.
- Do not heat the juice.
- Ideally, you should consume juice as soon as possible, the maximum time being up to two hours after you’ve made the juice.
- If you must prepare juice ahead of time (to take to work the next day or for a trip), you may freeze the juice in a plastic container that can be sealed.
- Drink slowly – constantly sipping on the juice is the key to your being successful on this program
- Drink a maximum or eight to ten ounces or juice in any one setting or over a period of one hour.
- A glass of juice should be consumed AS a meal or as a SNACK between meals. Never drink a glass of juice with a meal.
WHAT NOT TO JUICE
- Leaves: head or iceberg lettuce (except leaf lettuces), mature tough spinach
(young and tender spinach are okay), greens that are pungent or bitter tasting - Stalks and stems: asparagus, rhubarb
- Roots: garlic, ginger, onion, hot radishes, horseradish
- Seasonings: salt, spices, pepper
- Herbs: all
- Sweeteners: artificial, table sugar, fructose, honey, molasses
- Irradiated foods: they are supposed to be labeled if irradiated
- Other: peanuts, hot peppers

PERMISSABLE SOLIDS
- You may eat all the melons you desire because melons digest and absorb as easily as juiced vegetables.
To help satisfy the body’s natural desire to chew, you may consume the following once a day:
- A piece of fruit
- Melons
- Raw and unsalted nuts or seeds: 1-2 ounces in weight – they must be chewed VERY thoroughly, don’t swallow until they are liquid in your mouth. They must also be consumed with the juice of a citrus fruit.
OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION
If you are not maintaining regular bowel movements, add one heaping tablespoon of psyllium seed powder in a glass of water or juice first thing in the morning and again at bedtime. Make sure to drink this immediately as it will begin to gel if left too long in the glass.
