The team at Tasman Trading Company receive many letters in praise of their now famous juicer, the Oscar juicer and this one deserves special mention. It is from a guy in Hamilton called Ken and his friend Ben, who were watching the movie ‘Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead’ which inspired them to give the vegetable/fruit juice fast a go. They figured that the guy in the movie did it for 60 days and looked amazing at the end of it. So, as Ken puts it, “That was the beginning of 30 days juicing. That is, no food so to speak except juice. This means your teeth, mouth, stomach and other normal bodily functions from eating get a rest. Your weight drops rapidly and you feel great! Wow, that’s us. It’s called ‘re-booting your body’.
“In the first week we were losing 1.4kg per day but this tapered off to a total weight loss of 26kg in 30 days and we both gained 4.5kg after we started eating again.” Ken goes on to say that their blood sugar remained normal, ditto their blood pressure and their energy level remained very high, although their endurance suffered in the gym. These guys also dropped two whole sizes in clothing. As Ken says, they would recommend this to everyone who is seeking ultimate health.
Ken’s letter goes on, “Feel free to ask questions and seek support if you would like to do this. The first three days are the hardest and having a buddy definitely helps. Some say that blending is better than juicing. I am not convinced. I have done both and for me if I want an instant detox energy fix, it is the juice that does it for me. Blending has its place, especially if you are looking for a protein blend, but for good health and an instant extra-large helping of vegetables, juice is the way to go. I have had most of the juicers on the market, including the Breville and the Angel, but I sold all those and now have two Oscar juicers, one at home and one in the office. To me you can’t go past the Oscar.”
Drinking all the vegetable and fruit juice in the world is not going to help if the correct juicer is not being employed. Normal speed juicers and blenders destroy large numbers of life-giving enzymes in the juice by subjecting them to heat metal cutting blades and high speed centrifugal rotation. Rotating at a low 80 RPM the Oscar DA1000 produces no heat and ensures a living juice without any loss of enzymes or nutrients.
