I am currently drinking Orange and Cranberry juice. I've noticed that the carbs are high in both...is this a bad thing? I know that a lot of crash diets tell you to be low on carbs, but I just figured juice would be good for me.
Any thoughts on juice? kinds, brands, whatever you got, I'm listening.
Thanks

Fruit juice IS a lot of carbs. Its fructose, maybe one step better than pure sugar. That said, fruit is good for you, though you'd probably be better to eat the actual fruit to get all the fiber and vitamins. So I would just include it in the calorie count; focus on keeping to a daily calorie limit ... and if you're not getting any "fullness" in return from the fruit juice calories, you can skip it or switch to whole fruit. Cut up an apple or orange. You can also dilute the juice if you're using it for hydration for exercise.
