I have been making my own juices, but they have been making me hungry as hell

[Robbie3000]

So I bought a Nutribullet and started juicing..... Now, I still eat the same amount of food so it's not a substitute. But every time I drink a juice it makes me very hungry. Much hungrier than normal.

My juices are very heavy in vegetables and the Nutribullet makes them, they come out more like smoothies than liquid juice. Here is one of my recipes:

1. Kale
2. Cucumbers
3. Beets
4. ginger
5. Pear

Based on what you listed:

No animal protein source
No fat source
No chewing of food
Primarily carbs

It's the expected outcome

I didn't say add them to the juice but if you are wonder why those are the likely answers.

 

[Bernie Madoff]

You need some stuff with more fiber.

I don't think I'm making myself clear. I drink the juices either right before or right after my regular meals. But now instead of getting hungry 4 hour later after I eat, i'm starving 2 hours after I eat. I'm only juicing to make sure I get green nutrients in my body not as a substitute to eating.

That's why I made this thread. I was surprised at the results.

That doesn't change what I said.

The juice is additional carbs/sugars which typically spike hunger.

Hmm okay. I'll take out the fruits and experiment. If I do all greens , It shouldn't spike hunger right? Like if I do Kale, Spinach, Celery and ginger

Are you drinking the fiber of just extracting juice?

I'm drinking the fiber. It's a nutribullet. The "juice" contains alot of fiber, it's not liquid juice like with juicers.

I would think that would help but if you are consuming carbs in general it's going to happen?

Keep doing your thing just try your best not to eat too much.

That's odd... I make smoothies with my Vitamix, and it has the exact opposite effect; keeps me full for a long time. Are you using a lot of liquid with it, thereby watering it down? Maybe add some protein powder in with it, or some chia and/or hemp seeds, that should help keep you full.
