does oranage juice cause weigth gain?
Annie,
Marshall is right. Don't focus so much on the sugar, but instead on slowing the absorbtion rate. In general eating an orange is always better than drinking the juice. Regardless if there is sugar added or not. Don "Annie" wrote in message t... "Marshall Price" wrote in message ... Annie wrote: The organce juice I drink is from frozen concentrated real orange juice. I do not think they add any sugar to the juice, or do they? I read the label, it does not specify any added sugar. No. If they added sugar, it would be on the label, and the fructose in orange juice is actually sweeter, gram for gram, than table sugar. Eating fat, protein, or fiber immediately afterwards would slow the absorption of sugar, too -- though not as much as if you'd eaten the food before drinking the juice, or for that matter, if you'd eaten oranges instead. It's drinking orange juice alone (especially low-pulp or filtered, or any quickly absorbed sugar-rich beverage) that can be a problem, especially if you're satisfying a craving that way. Chances are, you'll "crash" half an hour later, and be hungrier than ever, and possibly depressed; the insulin will lock down the fat in your body, making it temporarily inaccessible (perhaps for one half to three hours, depending on your metabolism), and the cortisol will break down elastin and collagen in your tissues -- not a good idea unless you like thin, sagging, wrinkly, inelastic skin. If you do drink orange juice alone on an empty stomach, make a note to ask yourself half an hour later how you feel. Some people are more prone to low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) and some less, but generally speaking, if you blood sugar is low, you'll feel less energetic and possibly somewhat moody. And you may be tempted to eat, especially some sort of "comfort food." (Coffee -- even decaffeinated and without sugar -- can have similar effects, but for different reasons.) -- Marshall Price of Miami Known to Yahoo as d021317c Well, now I learn. But the Costco frozen orange does not show any added sugar. I used to get up every morning around 8am and drink one glass of orange juice from frozen concentrated. Then, work until around noon or 1pm. Then, I feel hungry and eat a light lunch. Typically a cup of whole wheat mix with some dry fruit, such as resins. Then, not until 6pm, then, I have a dinner of a small plate of veggie and rice and couple pieces of fish. I do like to loss 10 pounds. I ran few miles, if the weather permits. |
