moped wrote: Ok, so I am going to drink an oz of wheatgrass juice a day for 14 days (a freind told me to try when I asked for directions to the fountain of youth) ...I am on day 2 of 14 and man that stuff is NASTY!!!!! The lady asked me what I wanted for a chaser and I said Nothing, now I know why she asked me!

Anyone drink it? What does it do for you?

cameragirl21 replied: yup, that is the greens mix I was talking about sometime back. And yup, takes like sh#t but you get used to it.

moped replied: What do you think is the biggest benefit for you?

cameragirl21 replied: lots of energy and it is sustained throughout the day, not a jolt like caffeine. I do sleep better also.

moped replied: Ok good........could it help maintain weight also I wonder?

cameragirl21 replied: at first it works as an appetite supressant but then your body gets used to it. It still makes me a little nauseous when I drink it so for me it depresses my appetite some but that effect wears off as the days progresses.

Calimama replied: Always take the chaser. My DH usually gets an orange chaser.

ETA: Have you thought about mixing wheat germ into a smoothie? I don't know if that's the same benefit.. I'm not a huge fan of the stuff.

moped replied:
What does the wheat germ powder do?
I have wheat germ at home, but not sure if it is powder.....

Calimama replied:
Noo idea. Like I said I don't like it. I only suck down whatever concotion DH forces ( I mean asks) me too once a week.

Boys r us replied: LOL Aren't you supposed to ask the questions BEFORE you drink something like that??

Never heard of drinking it..but I guess if it's supposed to be the fountain of youth then, perhaps it's worth it's nastiness!

If that's the fountain of youth than youth is WAY overrated!!!

Good one Cheryl

~Roo'sMama~ replied: Is wheatgrass like Barley Green? I used to take that stuff... back when I was a teenager and my mom got us into a vegan kick. It was nasty nasty stuff!

DVFlyer replied: The only way I could drink that stuff is if I could chase it with a chocolate shake.

momofone replied: i've heard it prevents cancer and is packed with nutrients it will make you super healthy.

DVFlyer replied:
Wow... I never heard that about Chocolate Shakes... but I'm on board!.
