People suggest that is a waste, but your body does the same with it. |
Cake sounds like a good idea! I'll try that when I get one, for fruits without seeds/pips anyway.
Yeah I wouldn't have thought the pulp would be very nice to eat, but there ya go.

re: fruit, you are on the right path, overall, but generally speaking, it's the fiber that makes fruit ok and good. fruit juice for instance, is refined..... so the sugar in it is also considered refined. + it's not the ratio of sugar to liquid as soda pop. what is pop these days, 9-12 spoon fulls of sugar per 120z? fruit juice is far far from that, although still refined. but eating a piece of fruit, that gets you, imo, a naturally synergistic effect in addition to the fiber slowing down the sugar being absorbed.
not discounting juicing here, it has tremendous benefits.

No idea, but it's probably too much sugar in soda. I also thought the sugar in fruits were almost like "complex carbs" you hear about etc. So I'm trying to have my first day of 0 bread for as long as I can remember today as well.
Done a 18 hour fast today. Need to start drinking more water, and doing some more working out.
It's strange how much better I feel, the longer I wait for a meal, seem to be able to pack in more good stuff into that meal aswell.
Just had; about 10 chunks of chicken breast, done in 2 different styles of kebab. With a skewer of red pepper and onion chunks, with another small skewer of mushrooms (thanks Baddog, never tried doing them that way before!) and a bit of Lettuce and Tomato on the side. No bread, no processed condiments, just salt, pepper and olive oil on most things, herbs and spices and some salt on the kebabs.
Yum!

But, my tastes are changing, I never used to eat mushrooms, or asparagus, now I love both
