Juicing?

[Tiffany2015 26]

So what do u all think about juicing? Good or bad? Pros and cons?

If it's not Protein It wouldn't be worthy of a meal. Not to mention potential high sugar count if mainly fruit. Maybe you need to get more specific.

I like some juicing in with the Proteins and such. No fruit tho. Due to the high sugar.

But natural

Sugar from fruit should be ok! Aren't you guys eating any fruits at all?

[TXMissy 211]

Yes I eat fruit, but it's high in sugar that can cause dumping and it has a lot of carbs. Focus on Protein in take.

[foodfighter78 258]

I eat half banana, I really want salad, or veggie, I'm craving for if. Don't know why? But I get the Protein thing. I have surgery 2 months ago.

Bad!!! All carbs, no Fiber, no Protein.

Your better off with a high Protein smoothie.

I believe soluble Fiber remains in the juice, only insoluble is left in the pulp.

I wonder about juicing as well. I was juicing with food and did a juice fast earlier this spring. I felt great and it was part of the lead up to finally wanting to do something about my size and get healthy.

I haven't juiced since surgery, but I also don't trust the knee jerk reaction against it. Especially when juicing vegetables, you're generally talking about so few calories and not necessarily a lot of sugars. And since most of us can't tolerate veggies or eat very much when we do it seems a way to get some natural nutrition in.
