• Have you checked your B12 levels? I have found that once I began eating high raw, when I eat cooked food (steamed veggies) it makes me feel really tired. If you choose coffee are you drinking decaf?

• I have an Omega J8006 and the Breville Juice Fountain. I like both for different reasons. The Omega is super easy to clean and you can make juice and it will last up to 3 days because it is a slow masticating juicier. It is amazing for hard veggies,…

• If you are soaking nuts for longer than 12 hours you need to change the water once or twice a day. I would toss it and start over. Are you using filtered water?
