The orange mango flavor tastes just like orange juice. Order it from the store, or find it locally. When I want orange juice, I drink that.

Orange juice is a grossly unhealthy drink, even if cut/diluted with Water. It has the same health benefits as a can of Coke or Mountain Dew...plenty of sugar and empty calories.

Those who habitually drink their calories often regain their weight. I'd personally learn to live without the orange juice.

For some reason, it’s assumed that children should always drink orange juice because "it is healthy and contains Vitamin C.” Unfortunately, that is a serious misconception.

Juice of any kind is not particularly healthy, and contains as much sugar as a can of soda, which is the last thing children struggling with obesity or diabetes need in their diets.

I understand the , plenty of sugar. Plenty of empty calories. And drinking calories is not a good idea.

But cold pressed juice 100% not made from concentrate no added sugar. mixed with Water every now and again is the same as drinking a can of coke? I personally do not drink it but I did not know this.

I drink my Protein in the morning only when I walk. I have unflavored and I mix 2 scoops for 50 grams of protein because I just don't like to drink it all day. My meals vary like yesterday I had 12 Cajun steamed shrimp from Captain D's and today I had a 8oz Michelina's dinner I split up for Breakfast and dinner....and it's 9g protein.... I've had people think I don't eat but I just follow the rules I eat 4 oz per meal and I drink anything but carbonated drinks.... I like a sweet tea every few days but I drink lots of Water

Even if the juice is cold-pressed, our bodies cannot tell the difference between the sugar in juice and the sugar in soda due to the lack of Fiber.

Once you convert an orange into orange juice, the lack of fiber removes any health benefits whatsoever. You're just drinking a sweet liquid.

I understand that. But if orange juice just has orange juice in it. And coke is full of a bunch of chemicals ASWELL as them both being equally as sweet. I can't see how they are exactly the same. As Cold pressed orange juice is one ingredient. Coke. Is many many chemicals in one can. I try not to eat or drink anything I don't understand the ingredients lol

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
