Re: Have a question for you all...

[Guest guest]

Food has that effect on me. Fruits and vegetables especially. They raise

my weight, too. LOL!

I told the dietician I'm the only person I know who stays slimmest on a diet

of pure junk food.

Dietician siad my diet isn't balanced enough so I'm probably eating more to

make up for the substance I'm not getting if I have salad for lunch.

That was the dietician's specific objection to a full glass of orange juice

in the morning. She thinks it's too much sugar.

Everything else I've read outright recommends a full glass of OJ - albeit at

two fruit exchanges - because that is what most people actually drink.

Now, most often, OJ is my only fruit of the day. I would think that makes a

difference.

But you could break it up into smaller servings if you really wanted to.

I was told that it was better to eat whole fruit than fruit juice, because you

get fiber with the fruit, and that if you MUST have the juice, then squeeze it

yourself, don't buy frozen or bottled.

I drink Oj on occasion... but it has to have the pulp in it. Or I squeeze

my own. I will not drink the concentrate stuff, even if it is in a jug in

the store reconstituted...

I honestly prefer to eat an orange or a half of an orange...

They are good stuff!!! or those clementines... mmm... =)

There's an alternative. Tropicana makes a not reconstituted orange juice.

In the carton. It's delicious.

They even have a version of it with pulp. And some supermarket chains have

their own version of it.

I seriously doubt there's much difference in the sugar level. OJ would have

to have an awful lot of pulp to be as pulpy as eating an orange!

You know, I forgot to point it out.

Full strength tropicana orange juice is too sweet and too acidic for me, so

I always dilute it with about 1/4 water.
