Mind you, I'm very rarely an instant fan of any fad. On fashion styles for instance, I consider first if it would suit my body type, my age, how often or in what occasions I'd be able to use that piece of clothing, & whether or not I'd still be able to mix it with something without looking idiotic after the fad has gone. On books or movies, I try to check synopsis & early reviews to guesstimate if it would be enjoyable enough before reserving that seat at the cinema. On food & dining, one major consideration of mine is always the menu obviously, as I'm not a huge veggie eater. In fact, I dislike them so much that I'd often go out of my way to make sure there's not a morsel of leaf in my burger, or pasta, or pizza, & my hubby knows that if he cooks any viand at home with any vegetable, he'd end up eating those solo & I'd almost monopolize the meat instead.

Since I'm still breastfeeding our 16-month old (& nowhere near weaning, it seems), I'm obviously not trying to lose any weight as any calorie-restrictive diet would be bad for my milk supply, & neither am I overweight anyway. I am however, drinking these juices on top of my whole food meals for added nutritional value. Juicing is also typically used for cleansing the body or detoxifying, but again, this is discouraged for pregnant or nursing moms since the toxins released into the body's circulation (supposedly for elimination) may end up in our breast milk.
