Which Vitamix Should I Buy #238

[greensmoothieboy]

9 tray Excalibur or the 5 tray one? 

[hardin54]

refurbished vita-mix machines from the company have a 7 year warranty also !!!!

[fleetingdays]

I tossed out my microwave. I don't know why? But, I have a Vita-Mix on order.

[ahernster]

Do you recommend eating cooked grains? I feel a diet of loads of raw green smoothies, salads, nuts & fruits would be easier to stick to when cooked grains are added.

Dr Brian Clement a scientist or a chiropractor? if he is not a scientist, don't' listen to him

[IzNeSS]

"science" doesn't necessarily mean someone has the right information. In fact, science has been proven wrong over and over again. Ex: remember when the fda used to say that "trans-fats" were ok? Gary Null has said along they were bad for us.

Dr. Brian Clement says that High Speed Blenders DESTROY 90 % of the Nutrients of Raw Foods due to intense oxidation creating by the Velocity

[lilmissy23]

I dont know who this guy is, but after researching what you said you are getting it confused with a "centrifugal juicer" which is what causes the oxidation. I have not read anywhere about this happening with blenders.

[ACEBAKER911]

watch the video

DR BRIAN CLEMENT EXOTIC SUPERFOODS PART 7

[lilmissy23]

Do you believe what man says? IF blenders caused oxidation I think it would be a lot more publicized. I have never heard of this doctor, but most doctors agree that blenders are one of the best ways to get the nutrients.

But really .. it's all a matter of opinion.

[ACEBAKER911]

Did you watch the video ?

well it depends on what TYPE of Dr you are talking about ?

as we all know, most Medical Drs are totally clueless about Nutrition and have No interest in it

[quasim0do]

I highly doubt that it will destroy 90% of them, though it will cause oxidation and that's why it's best to eat the food right after you make it.

It would be interesting to see some extensive research on the subject though.

[ACEBAKER911]

I agree with you, in my Opinion i dont think its possible that the # is that high, or else there would be hardly any difference from drinking an Organic Green Smoothie as opposed to a bottle of soda.

Clement claims to have the actual research proving this, but he doesnt go into specifics on the video i Mentioned.

David Rainoshek of the JUICEFEASTING site was asked this same question about Clement and said

[ACEBAKER911]

No way that much is destroyed when we know people consuming Blended drinks are getting such excellent results with their improved health and curing diseases

My guess is Clement has to be exaggerating

[michellerobin1979]

We are waiting for our Vitamix to arive. My husband didnt know to order it with the dry blade/container. So that will be an extra 90 bucks or more. So when you order your blender dont forget your dry blade and container. As for the question of the day, we are too new at this to know what works best. I am a small woman and my hasband is a medium size guy and he gets run down quicker. So far I dont get run down. I just eat and eat and eat. I think he forgets to stop and refuel sometimes.

[andreg8506]

David Wolfe would disagree, he says equal parts fruit/sweet. greens and fats

[poshdelux]

ho cares wha David W says

he has man boobs

[zutekeela]

I have a Vita-Mix : Vita-prep 3, it will turn 3,000 rpm, and will outlast any blendtec blender, I got mine for $450.00 on ebay

[sn9696]

i am going to buy a vita mix,im not sure if i should buy the vita 1002 wich is 2 hp $407,or the prep 3 $507? How is your prep 3 working out ?

[buttersworth13]

If your a raw foods vegan and you feel ran down at the end of the day add a Green smoothie, Victoria Boutenko's books always recommend that. They give you more calories depending on what you add in, I add a lot of fruits and fats such as; bananas, acai, blueberry's, raspberry's, cherry's and then about a table spoon of coconut oil for fats Plus about a half a scoop of Brendan Braziers smoothie infusion for vitamins and iron. For Greens I use Kale, I got the Idea for the Kale from Tim VanOrden.

[ebutuoy88]

What's considered IN between? is 25 % fat? considered in between???

[Markyboiiiiii]

Please back up your advise. By saying the body adjusts, in what way do you mean that?

[MyOwnStickFigure]

Daily Plate is where it's at, better than Calorie Counter ... Nutrition Data does have a great list but Daily Plate is great for tracking. BTW. Weight gain - include avocados! AVOCADO POWDER!!! coconuts too... drink the water, eat the meat, chew slowly and eat mindfully : ) But seriously, avocados please! I do 100% raw and don't restrict fats or sugars, I get a good amount of fat and natural sugar without problems... to each their own, listen to your body - our body's voices are often unheard.

[keka9000]

dehydrators refurbished are 10 yr. warranty :D i just bought one!

[cherryberryblossom]

sweet, thanks

[cupies]

PLEASE SHAVE PLEASE SHAVE!@@@@@@@@@

[cherryberryblossom]

i have never been to daily plate, but sparkpeople does this also, and there are thousands of groups you can join with challenges, there are several raw communities as well. exercise videos and a million things

[MyOwnStickFigure]

I have used daily plate in the past to track my calories to make sure I am getting enough, it's been a tool in my eating disorder recovery - and a safe one. I was amazed at the nutrients I was getting even with a few smaller but dense meals a day... I'm not using it right now but I recommend others to check it out if they need assistance in nutrient tracking... you'll find raw products on there too : ) hugs to you beautiful

[cherryberryblossom]

thank you boo boo baby:)

[cherryberryblossom]

on the vitamix site the refurbished ones are still 7 year warranty, but i am looking into blendtec, did you see those crazy videos? will it blend?

[ummzahra]
