MEAN GREEN JUICE -- (the juice from the movie - Fat Sick and Nearly Dead)

[seattlehawkins]

I would do this..But im Black. :(

[GetReborn]

So simple to make.

[Health4Thought]

BOOM! love my juicer!

[ajandrs1]

Made this for my first ever juice tonight. My fiance couldn't stomach it so I got both servings. Our biggest thing is that it tastes extremely saltly, has anyone else gotten this result? About half of the ingredients were organic. I can handle it just fine, but it's certainly not my favorite thing in the world. Might try a little extra fruit or something to sweeten it up a little bit ... or to at least try to eliminate the saltiness. Suggestions??

[MrBladimier]

Is that what HULk drinks

[47927411D]

But, really, how does it actually taste ?

[SixStringDeity]

@47927411D takes a bit of getting use to. i dont look at it as taste. who cares? if a doc gave me something to drink that would keep me healthy and it taste like garbage, id take it to prevent cancer, etc. its medicine. not food. must look at this this way

[TheOmnipotentidiot]

@47927411D disgusting,very very disgusting

[CumulusSkies]

So I just tried this recipe and was surprised by my reaction - which was "eeeeeew!" I'm not sure if it's the Meyer lemon or ginger (my guy thinks it may be the latter). Nevertheless, I'm having a hard time getting it down. Kind of bums me out. : (

Thoughts from anyone?

[19idgaf77]

my favourite is 2 green apples, 3 strawberries, 2 carrots, 2 kale leaves, half a cucumber and a handful of blueberries.

[19idgaf77]

can you juice asparagus?

[blastofo]

I know people do a juice fast for up to a month or longer drinking nothing but this. Is it possible to live off this juice alone?

[ThatRedShark]

@blastofo I'd say that too much could be bad. Sure it's all healthy but living on it probably wouldn't be so good.

[GrahamAndFriends]

I made made this juice last night for the first time. It is intense. I am about to make some more for breakfast.

[SoftBlubber]

does this recipe make one serving or more?

[AVRILSK8TES]

ya actually the juice is super amazing it looks disgusting and smells funny lol but it is really really really really good

[fanmegaman]

I almost DIED when I drank this #_#

[SurveyofFilmMusic]

I have to tell you, this doesn't taste good for the beginner...BY A MILE! It would take most normal ppl a LONG time to get used to this taste! Not for the tame!

[pld4444]

@ fngnation........You absolutely have to add GREEN vegies to your diet to get the protein you need. Also Cruciferous Vegies are known to fight fat....Cauliflower, brussel sprouts, kale, cabbage...etc.

[Extellable]

I have a question. In the documentary, how many times a day did he drink a cup of juice? I'm taking on the challenge and I want to be prepared. I'm doing a 30 day challenge to lose 40lbs. I already lost 50lbs with proper diet and exercise but I need a change and I think will be it.

[UCKABAH]

@Extellable He had it three times a day. I think that's even a bit extreme; he was in very poor health. You may not find it necessary to go that hard at it.

[resonanceth]

@Extellable I just recently watched the film again on Hulu.com and he said he was going to drink juice four times a day.

[scottherf]

hi Zona - how are you processing a thumb of ginger through a juice extractor?? I'd love to know.

Thx Scott.

[Hemolymph]

How many ounces does the recipe yield on average?

[Zakariah1971]

What does it taste like??

[mattamal1]

I am going with pineapple and zucchini I base this on the blood type diet.

[mattamal1]

I can't do cucumber or apple to well are there any suggestions for subsitites?

[grooverjamesr]

@mattamal1 I would say you could use any fruit or vegetable similar in nature to substitute the ones you can't eat. The fact is when you juice the fruits and vegs turns to liquids and aside from an allergy there should be no reason you can't have them.

Apple and pears, peaches, mango, papaya are all similar. As for Cucumber, again any fruit or vegetables you see fit substituting will do, it really would make little difference overall. Try banana, broccoli, carrots, tomato.

[grooverjamesr]

@mattamal1 Beets are good too

[chuckMvideos]

@grooverjamesr good for cleansing the liver

[chadpopstar]

Why would you peel the skin off the cucumber and ginger? That's the best part. The skin is full of vitamins and minerals. Leave it on. You're only juicing it anyways, not eating it.

[ByeByeBelly]

@chadpopstar I would only take the skin off the lemon but not the others

[JettsVillage]

Cool Video!

[pianodon]

Apples are the key. Apples are about the only fruit that can be added to most vegetable, the best fruit to mix with vegetable juices. It adds that little bit of sweetness to make the vegetable juices taste better. So try it.

[ElArlequin]

Alguien que me pueda decir esta misma receta en español?

[ZonaKayla]

@ElArlequin UGO VERDE DEL MEDIO ----- 4 tallos de apio 1 pepino -- (pele apagado la piel) 1 raíz del jengibre -- (tamaño del pulgar - pele apagado la piel) limón del 1/2 -- (piel cortada) 2 manzanas verdes 6 hojas de la col rizada

[photobrattt]

I LOVE this juice (very similar to Dr. Oz' green juice) - along with your ingredients I add two handfuls of baby spinach, 1-red apple (depending if I want it a little sweet), but I LOVE the green apples w / it, 1/2 zucchini, parsley & lime - OMG, YUM!! I literally CRAVE this drink everyday. Also, the red drink: 1-beet, 2-apples (whether green or red) we like green w/ it, 3-carrots, ginger root (I like a lot) & parsley - SOOO GOOD! I've never felt healthier!! Thx for posting!

[WaCCo80]

that sounds discusting

[estbroadway]

sooooo dose it really work like it dose in the movie?

[GrahamAndFriends]

i will have to make this too.

[plutonium9]

Aren't most of the nutrients in the skin and fibrous portion that get separated out?

[bridgettedunn]

I was told that kale has something in it that can be harmful if consumed raw, and lightly cooking it helps to get rid of it. Does juicing it also get rid of it??  I want to eat more leafy greens, but the info says they are better cooked. Thoughts??

[cpt1096]

i add an apple to make it taste better

[Bboyjonq89]

what the hell does thats taste like

[conorsawyertv]

It all sounded good until the Kale! YUCK!

[mramirez1974]

@conorsawyertv The kale is the healthiest part. It's everything *else* that makes it bearable (even "good", once you get used to it).

[RonPauL4America2012]

I was taking Lipitor to and since I have been juicing more and getting off of bread and potatoes and noodles I have not had to take any high blood pressure medicine nor cholesterol medicine. Another good documentary is fat sick and nearly dead and also forks over knives. You just have to try it for yourself and keep checking in with doctor to keep track on how you are doing. My doctor was amazed at my results.

[misskris46]

my juice never comes out that green :-(

[CindaNJ]

Since I've been juicing, I've lowered my cholesterol levels and no longer take Lipitor. I juice every morning (carrot, apple & ginger) and afternoon for lunch (kale, lettuce,, cucumber; celery; apple and habanero pepper) or tomato juice (tomato, carrot, apple, red pepper, yellow pepper and lemon) and for dinner (cabbage, kale, cucumber, fennel, apple and beets) No more McDonalds for me! Fast food kills. That's why so many people are dying young from heart attacks because of clogged arteries.

[taragamet]

its SOOO GOOD! and really good for you. you have to get use to it because we are use to SWEET and junk.

[airfoemoe]

It really is not gross.

[gollapr]

I just made the juice and didn't peel the cucumber. Whoops.

[pogistarr]

Thanks for posting...I was wondering what was in the mean green!

[RonPauL4America2012]

Also I don't eat any carbohydrates NON no potatoes,bread,or noodles.

I stay away from fast food now.

[RonPauL4America2012]

I watched the documentary - Fat Sick & Nearly Dead, it has changed my life for the better I forgot to mention that it has made me lose weight to.

It really works you should watch this documentary ....Try it, you won't regret it.

I have lost weight without exercise it is a slow process when you don't exercise but this really does work. Makes your skin look healthy to, you really do glow with a healthy look. I don't have a big appetite anymore either.

[RonPauL4America2012]

Juicing is the best it has saved my life for real, It looks gross but it really isn't when you mix apples with it and other fruits if ya want like plums,nectarines,pear it will sweeten it up. I like to mix celery,carrot,kale,cucumber,ra­dish,pineapple,apples. A++++++ for health.

I was able to get off of high blood pressure medicine and my doctor said wow your vitals look great wish all patients would do it I'd be out of a job.

I do it every day, and drink lots of water.. you should try it.

[1989NikeMcfly]

@RonPauL4America2012 Yeah this nopal juice is a real miracle, my whole family dinks this. By the way it's good to see people like yourself supporting Ron Paul.

[Jibabzz]

nkalexander7 favorited this, lol! :D

[L8bluemr]

I will try this recipe. Do you have any other juices?

[1969SHHAKER]

its not great, but its not bad....it does fill ya up and at least its good you you, you can go eat your double baconator, and ill have this!

[sunamcm1]

This doesn't taste bad, but my juicer turned out about 32oz of it. How many servings is this? How long will it last in the fridge? I drank it all at once and, I have to tell you, it wasn't easy. It wouls seem that 4 8oz glasses throughout the day would be better.

[ZonaKayla]

@sunamcm1 juice will be good for 24hrs in the fridge in an air tight container.... it is just fine to make your juice all at one time for the day..... BUT it is best if you make it and then drink it right away.... but most people can not do that...... i like to get 16 - 20 oz plastic water bottles with tops and put each serving in a separate bottle in the fridge so i can grab one and drink it when i need it through out my day.... you can also put them in a cooler for work

[stealthyeros]

How many ounces of juice does this recipe make? Will I need a stockpile of Kale and Cucumber, etc.?

[rnyeny]

@stealthyeros 24 oz.

[NEONInFuSiOnS]

Great stuff man.

[Jamiev54]

 Unfortunately this makes me gag. Can anyone help?

[Jamiev54]

I made some of this in my new Breville juicer a few days ago. . . I am one of those people that can eat almost any food ..I like everything. I am trying to continue to drink it but I do not like the taste. I know its good for me and I will continue to drink it but does anyone have suggestions on how to keep it healthy and make it taste ??better? I love vegies. .

[Joker54974]

@Jamiev54 I just squeezed some lemon juice in there and made the taste somewhat better. Still doesn't taste great but it was defiantly easier to drink.

[TheFabiien7o]

Great stuff man.

[elliottfour]

Hey can you switch out the kale for spinach?

[ZonaKayla]

@elliottfour try 50% kale & 50% spinach ......kale is a super food and is really good for you

[elliottfour]

@ZonaKayla Thanks for your reply:}

[TheKingCameron]

Cool Video!

[spiersmusic]

reduce size of ginger piece as could be harsh on stomach but the rest perfect..i use one apple and water and a piece of cucumber only...with whatever greens are avaliable...i soak the greens in the lemon overnight first so they are broken down a little before blending and drinking x

[TeamFriq]

Awesome you should make more dude!

[Incrauze]

You deserve 2 thumbs up.

[MikeVideonline]

Cool Video!

[IconiCinema]

Keep them coming dude.

[Xortive]

Woah i subbed!

[OhDangJason]

Now lets see you drink it.

[lj232345]

Looks good

[Davidtheinfidel]

That is some wired looking Kale. At least it is like no Kale that I have ever seen, and I've been using kale in my restaurant for 15 years.

[ZonaKayla]

@Davidtheinfidel ... i is a " Tuscan Kale " ... i got it in the organic section of my local store called.... "wegmans"

[ZonaKayla]

@Davidtheinfidel Kales can be classified by leaf type: Curly leaved (Scots Kale) Plain leaved Rape Kale Leaf and spear (a cross between curly leaved and plain leaved Kale)......... Cavolo nero (also known as black cabbage, Tuscan Cabbage, Tuscan Kale, Lacinato and dinosaur Kale)......

Because Kale can grow well into winter, one variety of Rape Kale is called 'Hungry Gap', named after the period in winter in traditional agriculture when little could be harvested.

[Hs2theHeart]

Dude imma favorite this.

[sgbofav]

The Environmental Working Group, a non-profit research organization, has come up with its ''Dirty Dozen,'' a list of the 12 fruits and vegetables that consistently have the highest levels of pesticides. They are: peaches, apples, sweet bell peppers, celery, nectarines, strawberries, cherries, pears, imported grapes, spinach, lettuce and potatoes. The Washington, D.C.-based group recommends that consumers opt for organically grown when it comes to these produce items.

[netajoy]

@sgbofav I know this, it's true. But unfortunately, organic is a lot easier to find in USA than where I come from in Australia. Have been in USA for over 3 months and not looking forward to going back to mostly non organic produce. 

[JORD4NHD]

This is so good.

[THEKOLSCOTT]

High quality!

[electricmoo88]

I saw the video yesterday and I was sooooo shocked at how much weight they lost! I want to start this fast soon but I need to buy a juicer. What kind of juicer do you have?

[Yayakoshii1990]

@electricmoo88 If you go to the fatsickandnearlydead website they have a page showing Breville Juicers.

[TheKingsConsole]

You deserve 2 thumbs up.

[bustfer07]

is it the same recipe from the documentary ?

[ZonaKayla]

@bustfer07 ...yes.. exactly the same

[bustfer07]

@ZonaKayla thanks. i was also wandering, can you eat the pulp if you want ?

[ZonaKayla]

@bustfer07 ... yes you can use it for veggie burgers or veggie crackers or put in in soups ..... if you are on a juice fast only then you do not eat it... you also can use it for a compost pile.... or feed livestock like horses or cows, or feed bunnys... or leave it outside for local wildlife to eat

[bustfer07]

@ZonaKayla ok so i drank my glass of mean green juice and it was surprisingly good :) Im planing on doing the diet for a week so today would be my first day. thanks for the video and for answering my questions I really appreciate it. I was wandering if i could add anything else to the juice, like carrots or grapes maybe broccoli and stuff like that ?

[ZonaKayla]

@bustfer07 YES ! add what you wish... have fun with it... do not be afraid to experiment

[oanunkor]

thanks for this!!

[swagmaxxima]

Woah i subbed!

[7braven7]

[vivian1murray]

1 ginger root -- (thumb size - peel off skin)

1/2 lemon -- (skin cut off)

2 green apples

6 kale leaves

[2316severitaln]

@ZonaFilms Hello, I am really interested in this juice and I am about to go buy all necessary stuff to make it but I have a question? HOW OFTEN DO U DRINK THE JUICE AND AT WHAT TIME EVERYDAY? Do you have to drink that and nothing else?? this might sound funny but I can't find the real video!!! please help!! thx.

[ZonaKayla]

@2316severitaln i drink one when i wake up in the morning.... then after that i drink a 16 - 20 oz juice every 3 hours.... say like 6am - 9am - 12 noon - 3pm - 6pm and my last at 9pm .....i drink 5-6 juice drinks a day ...

you should drink 80% veggies & 20% fruits ...... green drinks are usually the most often used ... in the morning fruits are good... i like to have a fruit in the morning and as my last one at night. ALSO ... drink LOTS of water too......

[ZonaKayla]

@2316severitaln .... during a juice fast you can have only juice, water and green decaf tea or herbal tea......

no adding milk or sugar ... and the fruits & veggies need to be fresh ONLY .. not frozen or canned or bottled

[rionsito99]

@ZonaFilms Thanks for showing the ingredients! it helps a lot. Starting Sep 1st. How is the taste?

[ZonaKayla]

@rionsito99 i love the taste!

[QuarryBank35]

Do you peel the Lemon?



[ZonaKayla]

@QuarryBank35 ... i cut the peel off the lemon... I peel the cucumber skin off .... and peel the skin off the ginger

[karenbcz22]

I LOVE this juice.

It is sooooooooo good!!

Yummy!!

[landoc11]

how much does this cost on a daily figure? How much should I plan on?

[kurousaginoyami]

@landoc11 around 14 to 28 dollars an hour from what I have learned. Its cheaper if you have a farmer's market around.

[kurousaginoyami]

@kurousaginoyami a day, I has a tired head.

[StairClimbCanada]

Green drinks are tha bomb :)

[TheBlutaarus]

isnt good for me ;) ;)

[moo13mn]

[olymsailor83]

[AvzaHD]

Sweet Video!

[LocalFightCrew]

how many times a day do you drink this and how much 16 oz?

[ZonaKayla]

@LocalFightCrew .... each drink is about 20 oz... I dink about 5 - 6 20 oz juice drinks a day on my juice fast.

[ewwww304]

Your good at making videos.

[ZonaKayla]

juicing is the best way to get the most intake of veggies

[ZonaKayla]

you can lose a lot of weight on this green juice drink!

[ZonaKayla]

this stuff is great for you body

[ZonaKayla]

it does taste  better than most people think it would

[ZonaKayla]

Looks good

[GkxSkiLLz]

The hell if I'm drinking that shit.

[ZonaKayla]

@GkxSkiLLz .... LOL

[fngnation]

@GkxSkiLLz it's not even gross. It's actually good not too mention good for you.Norman Walker invented the best juicer known to man. He stated drinking juice on a regular basis would allow you to live past 100 years old. Sadly, Norman Walker died AT THE AGE OF 119! It's a known fact drinking juices like this or even fruit juices which are delicious!!! Help your body clear itself of toxins, heal, etc. Look up the movie trailer mentioned in this video. Or Google "Gerson Therapy" all proven!

[HardcoreGrady]

@fngnation

Speak for yourself dude. I tried this for three days and couldn't do it anymore. I came dangerously close to throwing up after drinking this juice, not because it's not good for you, but because it's just disgusting.

[UCKABAH]

@fngnation He did not live to 119 or anywhere even remotely close to it. This has long been debunked. He made it to 99. And 99 ain't nothin' to sneeze at! It's incredible enough, we don't need to go with the phony figure. That being said...juicing works and everyone should do it.

[92khokha]

@fngnation Hi everybody I am doing a juice diet , my juice contains orange, apples, carrot and cuccumber 3 glasses a day and water, is it a good diet can i lose weight with it plz (am 19 years old girl)

[SubliminalTwin]

@92khokha You need to add more vegetables if that's going to be the only juice you drink.

[SubliminalTwin]

@SubliminalTwin Also 3 glasses a day isn't very much. You should watch the documentary Fat Sick and Nearly Dead. The point of a juice diet is not to be hungry, but to listen to your body and be satiated. On some days you might require 8 to 10 glasses of juice a day to stay full, other days you might only need 3 or 4. Don't starve yourself though.

[superslyfoxx1]

@92khokha add some spinach to it...you won't taste it and its great for you. GOod luck

[PatriotEarth]

@fngnation He actually died at 99, check it on Wikipedia. But still pretty damned impressive.

[JubblyJack]

@fngnation Norman Walker 1886-1985 = 99 years old. Did he advocate colonic cleansing?

[JhonathanFree]

@GkxSkiLLz Good. One less asshole.
