Veggies?

.

Well, yes.  I need to eat more.  And, I have learned to enjoy them, to a degree.  The problem is, was, and will remain, that eating veggies is difficult.  To be honest, eating, all told, isn't the easiest thing.  I love steaks, and meats in general.  Some cuts more than others.  But often I can't eat.  What I eat just sits there.  I have been looking into general solutions.  In doing so, I may have found a solution for vegetables in particular.  Using a juicer might be the ticket.

Getting rid of the pulp, at least sometimes, is one way of getting the benefits without the chewing, mass, and rest.  I can't see that working with meats, but getting that stuff in, in the volume I need it, might allow the digestion of the meats to be easier.  As well, it will simply remove some large portion of the bulk.  And, as my meat consumption lowers naturally on keto... it could all work out.

Now, the juicer itself?  There are off-the-shelf models down into the $40's-$150's, then slow-speed machines that are supposed to be better in the $300-$500 (and more) range.  Initially, I just can't see putting out the spread for the higher range.  If I find one, try it, and end up using it, sure.  Kale, and mostly green leafy, with lemon and maybe berries as a treat from time to time, is the way I would want to go.  I would be willing to shovel it in, in that form.  I'm already a heavy drinker, this might help me cut some tea and water out.  Nutritious and thicker, there might be both nutrition and bio-mechanical advantages to such juice.

Finding which one in the lower bracket is difficult.  Even when people compare them side by side, they still say they are "all the best" somehow.  I'd like to find one that can do wheatgrass, as a special add from time to time.  Oh, and this would really add to wormfood and composting in the beginning.  I keep looking.  This month, next, sometime soon.  I might now a specialty shop... nah...  Specialty shops are sellers, not experts.  No longer, if you ever could, do you go to these places and get anything but a sell push by people who don't know.  Sell, sell, sell!  Bleh.

I'll continue looking.  I have my one on a mid-level, lower-level, unit.  Smaller, easier to clean, decent volume.  The only downside is a single year warranty.  I haven't been able to find anything about wheatgrass with it.  Though I'm not really seeing that regarding many of the newer crops of either level, really.  As nasty as people say it is, I wouldn't do it all that often.  But I wouldn't mind keeping a small crop of it on hand and feeding it in every second or third green meal.

Later.
