Hi, I just subscribed to this list because of my Vita-Mix.  I love it!
I
am just now beginning raw foods seriously.  I have a new Vita-Mix, one
of
the procedures in the instructional video says to be sure to add water
to
carrots because of the pulp concentration.  I have mixed carrots,
celery,
green pepper, and cucumber adding water.  The mix was still quite
thick,
but oh so good and filling.  I am quite overweight and the vegetable
juice
satisfied me from breakfast throughout the middle of the afternoon, a
good
6 hours.  I had wanted the Vita-Mix for the past 25 years!  It is well
worth the money.  I feel like I may finally succeed in weight loss.
After
only 4 days of raw veges and fruit, suddenly I am happy, energetic and
so
hopeful.  I had read of people having incredible changes in mood and
energy levels when eating a raw diet, now I believe that is what is
happening to me!!
