Fresh juice will start to deteriorate, losing enzymes, after just 15 minutes so you never want to juice more than what you are going to immediately drink. If you are new to juicing you should start with about 8 oz. and work up to 16 oz, each day adding a little more. You might have loose bowels for a few days- that's completely normal. Your body will adjust. It depends on how big the carrots are, so you'll have to experiment, but usually a 16 oz. glass of juice contains about 6 carrots, 1/2 med. sized beet, 2 handfuls of spinach and 1/2 cucumber. Of course other than the carrots, you can use different vegetables. What I do is buy 25 lbs. of carrots at a time (it's much cheaper to buy a 25 lb. bag of #2 juice carrots) and wash them all with a brush and vegetable soap, cut the tops off and then bag them in 2 gal. sized ziplocks. If I can't fit them all in my refrigerator, I put them in the garage where it is cooler. Carrots keep real well and you'll use up 25 lbs. in about 10 days if you're just juicing for yourself. I do the same with all of my juicing vegetables so it isn't such a task each day to juice. I just reach in and grab my clean vegies and juice away so my only real job is washing the juicer, which is easy. Something that's very nutrient rich and high in protein to add to your juice is 1 teaspoon of nutritional yeast, and 1 teaspoon brewers yeast.Search Amazon.com for juicing
