A recent study has found that most individuals’ bodies have strengths and weaknesses with different foods. One person may be able to easily handle processed carbohydrates while another can handle fat carbohydrates. Pay attention to your body, and test diets that rely on either type of carbohydrate to see which type of diet gives you the best results. Nice article, but Lose Weight is not easy.

But the calorie count and high-glycemic ingredients are still worth reconsidering, in my opinion. Good luck with all the great changes you're making!

It's 170 calories per cup! (For reference, Pepsi has 100 calories per cup). Also, pineapple is one of the highest-glycemic fruits out there, not a good idea for controlling blood sugar. You can get vitamins and fiber in other lower-calorie ways. I think these drinks and smoothies can be really dangerous for keeping calories down (I speak from experience) -- same with "protein bars." If you are drinking two cups of Blue Machine per day, that's 340 calories per day. Cut that out (replace with water) and you'll lose almost one pound in 10 days. Just something to think about!

I used to skip it every once in a while, and now I never do - it really changed my metabolism and prevented lunchtime pigging out! Eating breakfast was the easiest change i made to lose weight.

Here's what the editors say: "Juices (even orange juice with "lots of pulp") have little or no naturally occurring fiber....Welch's -- and other companies -- add maltodextrin, a chain of sugars not quite long enough to be a starch. Some dextrins are absorbed poorly enough to count as fiber on nutrition labels." The latest issue of Nutrition Action Healthletter discusses this whole idea of juice with fiber.
