Juciing vegetables allowed in CBL either in low carb phase or high?

Hey folks,Quick question here. I love the nutritional you get from juicing. I typically just juice beets, carrots, celery etc.Is this allowed in either the low carb phase or high carb phase post resistance training?Right now I am leaning towards doing it in the high carb phase since juicing strips all the fiber out, but wanted to confirm on the boards first.

Be interested on any studies or research you have on the nutritional advantage of juicing. As far as I am aware, raw veggies do have more nutritional value than cooked, but in their raw state, a lot of the nutrients are not bio-available, and that you actually gain more nutritional value from cooked veg rather than raw.If you like juicing, that is great, but I think the idea of getting additional value from raw is dubious

I agree. The cellulose really binds up the nutrients and energy making it damn near impossible to get at without cooking. Sometimes this is a good thing. For instance raw carrots are great for their antibacterial/microbial fibres but if you cooked them youd get too much beta carotene, and if you blended them youd lose the benefits of the fibre.

I juice mostly greens with some fruit added in to cut the bitterness of the greens.  I find it doesn't hurt me at all and I drink it in the morning up through my first meal, which isn't until around 3 or so.  My CBL has been very successful.  I thought I was losing weight because my pants were getting too lose.  I hopped on the scale and I actually gain five pounds over the course of a month.

Also, if you're juicing greens, you're doing your body a huge favor.  Not only are you taking in the phytonutrients and plant sterols from the produce which you don't get after cooking, but also the live enzymes.  And of course, the most important, the chlorophyll.  Did you know that chlorophyll and hemoglobin (red blood cells) are identical in chemical structure except for their nucleus?  Chlorophyll has a magnesium nucleus while red blood cells have iron in the center.  Everytime you juice and drink greens it's like giving your body a fresh blood transfusion.
