Is Apple Juice Bad?



Recommended Posts

My Dr says 100% apple juice is good for us , because it healthy any 100% juice is for that matter,we cant eat to much of the natural stuff cuz we need to focus on protien, so hes all for it, I drank it for a long time with Water ,but I just got tired of it,might go back to it later.

crystal light gives me headaches. I make Koolaide with splenda. A trick to get off juices since they are high in calories is to mix it with Water. Our peditrician said it wasn't healthy for kids to drink more than 4oz a day and Adults should be around 8 oz. It is your choice but helpful advice since you asked is not meant to burden but uplift you. :) I need help in other areas like ice cream. I had to stop eating full fat sugar and switch to low carb.

Thanks love, i just meant with my nut yesterday and juice is fine just needs to be diluted. I love juice and dont want to give it up for the rest of my life. My nut says as long as its diluted i can always drink it. Thank you for your advice. [= try laughing cow ice cream its low fat and still tastes good.

You should try the recipe for Protein ice cream from egg face I hear it's pretty good!

MIO has PROPYLENE GLYCOL the same ingredient as ANTI FREEZE.

It's sort of like people saying that blood thinners are Rat Poison. They have it backwards. One way to poison animals is to give them blood thinners in high dose but that has nothing to do with the use of the same chemical in an appropriate dose as a medical treatment. The poison is in the dose.

Propylene Glycol is not poisonous but is used in a lot of foods. It is an anti-freeze but it's nothing like the Ethylene Glycol used in most automotive anti-freeze. You could drink raw propylene glycol and not harm yourself a bit. I believe that high doses are used to cleanse the colon prior to a colonoscopy. The literally give it to you by the gallon.

Just to add, I personally love apple juice, and I saw where someone else had mentioned a brand sweetened,with Splenda, it sounded expensive.

However, Walmart has their store brand of apple juice, next to all the other juices and it is already a little watered down but sweetened with Splenda. It was $2.86 for a gallon and really delicious!!

A few days out I would drink almost anything that tastes good! Leaning too heavily towards no-calorie drinks will cause you to not have any energy because you're probably eating very little food. I was an apple juice junkie for a while and it really helped me. (BTW, I'm 102 pounds down from my original weight so I must be doing something right!).

I would agree that leaning towards no-calories drinks can cause you to not have any energy. However, most of us have food addictions and since we can't go cold turkey on food, I try to always counsel people that if you can avoid calories through your choices, your chances of success increase. The sleeve is not a guarantee and we have to make lifestyle changes to succeed. Some people can handle the exceptions and some can't.

I was told not to drink any juice because of acid and sugar content, but if I wanted a little bit, dilute it with Water. I personally can't see using my calaries and carbs on juice, so I never drink any juice anymore.

If you like apple juice you might try diluting it half and half with Water. I haven't had surgery yet but I've read that suggestion as just a general weight loss suggestion for everyone. Apple juice is so sweet I can barely drink it without diluting it.

My staple fruit juice is Old Orchard Healthy Balance. I use it to dissolve fiber/laxative in, as needed.

8 fl oz:

25 calories

0 fat

0 cholesterol

60mg potassium

5g carb

0 Protein

At our local grocery store which is one of the more expensive ones, a 64oz bottle is usually priced around $2.50 but they're frequently on sale 2/$3, and coupons.com often has $1 0ff coupons. I don't consider $2.50 for juice expensive, tho - I buy it whenever. (IMO)

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
