Any issues with juicing too many different fruits and veggies at the same time?

I tend to juice the ripest fruits and veggies that are in my fridge as to minimize throwing away any products that have spoiled. Today for example, I juiced week red/orange beets, ripened figs/raspberries from backyard, peeled off the softening cover layers of my red cabbage, beet greens, kale, collards, leftover watermelon and rind, three week old orange(no peel), week old parsley and a carrot. 1 liter, enough for 4 people. Not a recipe I'm going to memorize, but it tasted fine. I figure instead of a lot of a few things, just mix up a handful of many things, and it can't go terribly wrong(taste wise and nutritionally), can it?

I like much simpler combos.

I also tend to like simpler combos - I find that if there's too much 'action' going on, my body doesn't digest it quite as efficiently as the juices I usually make with two or three items. I try to not mix too much different groups together - sweet fruits with veggies, for instance, but some people may not care too much about food-type separation and still feel fine. It's just what I tend to do.

But bottom line, how do you feel? Experiment. Try different combos, and simpler combos, and work with what feels best.

For a while, I kept making green smoothies crammed with many different items, and wasn't feeling great with the digestion of them, until I noticed that having carrots and fruit together just didn't work that well with me. Now I have really simple smoothies, and they digest more smoothly.

If it tastes good, and you feel good, hooray!

How about you tell us? Ü How did it make you feel? Any digestion issues? Any energy issues?

Generally, I feel fine. No gasterointestinal issues for either myself, wife, and in-laws. I'm 5'5" and have gone from 140 to 136, but weight loss isn't my main goal. I mainly want to ingest more of the nutrients that our bodies were designed for. In my 6 week foray into daily juicing only twice have I ever felt different. The first time I ever juiced, I felt high and spacey. I think I threw in too many fruits and I downed like 500 cc of juice all at once. The other time was after drinking straight beet juice, I was high and spacey again for an hour. Otherwise, despite never having the same concoction daily, I don't physically feel different after juicing. Emotionally, I feel happy about getting in more greens, but physically, I feel fine.
