I just started juicing and I'm trying to do it daily or twice daily for health benefits. I got inspired by www.juicing-for-health.com in particular and how she had some great health benefits.

The thing is, for the rest of the day after juicing I feel kind of sick. I have a headache and I feel kind of run down and crabby. I also have been craving more cooked foods than normal. At the same time I do seem to have more energy than I used to. I attribute the feeling sick to detoxing.

Did anybody else experience this when they first started juicing (headache, aching, crabby)? What health benefits have you had from juicing? I'd like to hear about your experiences :)

Thanks!

I need your advice about what kind of juicer I should get.

I got the manual HealthyJuicer which is great for leafy greens and wheatgrass but is just not practical for everyday use or juicing large amounts. It takes forever to handpump enough for 1 nice sized glass.

I am thinking of either getting some kind of centrifugal one (Breville) to inspire me to juice daily OR a single gear one (Champion or Omega or something else) for quality.

What do you think?
