How do you like the recumbent bike?

I like the recumbent bike better than a regular exercise bike. It is more
comfortable to sit on. And I can read a book while exercising. I have to
squeeze in reading during the busy times of year--and I do love to read!


Do you think the Jack La Lane juicer is
any better at retaining the fiber? I drink a lot of juice but it's
replacing soda pop so I think that's good.

I don't use juicers at all. I like the whole fruit. The most I do is mix
nonfat plain yogurt with fruit and blwent them into a smoothie. I would
imagine if you just ground them all up into juice, they would have the same
fiber as the fruit does. But I've never done that. You would certainly
have more control of what was in the juice if you made it yourself.

news Anybody bought this book or tape? I'm diggin it.

Did you incorporate any of the suggestions? I'm eating a lot of apples
... btw does taking fresh apples and juicing them change the fiber
content? Does apple juice from the store have fiber?
Thanks : -)

I have been living a new way of life since May 12 when I found out my
blood pressure was very, very high. I have lost 74 pounds to date and
feel much better than I have in over a decade. I got the book because it
sounded like a good read and I had seen the authors on television and was
interested in their theory about the waist measurement being a more
informative measurement than one's weight. Some of the suggestions--such
as eating the same breakfast and lunch every day--I had already begun.
The 30 minutes of walking was something I also did already--although it
isn't always walking. During the summer it was swimming, and in inclement
weather I use a treadmill or ride my recumbent exercise bike. The food
choices and suggestions are very close to what I already do. The
information on how the body works and the brain chemicals that affect
weight, hunger, etc, were very interesting. I finished reading the book
last week, and will read it again when school is out for winter break and
I have some relaxation time. I think it is well worth reading.

As for fiber in juice, most apple juice does not contain fiber. That is
one of the reasons that doctors say that juice is not the best option for
children. Parents think that they are promoting health--but juice
contains a lot of sugar (fructose). There are juices out there with
"added fiber," but it makes much more sense just to eat the fruit and get
the great fiber that naturally occurs there. That pulpy part that is
left after you squeeze out the juice is where the fiber is.

Thanks for the advice. I'm thinking about a recumbent bike.
