Is fresh fruit juice good for weight loss?
.........................................................................................
 Michael
Collins: Fresh fruit juice is delicious and a nice treat to have
once in a while if you’re at or close to your ideal weight.
Fruit juice would not be on my list of
beverages if I’m trying to lose weight. It’s commonly mistaken that
because something is fresh, it must be healthy, and because it’s
healthy, it’s
good for weight loss. This is far from the truth.
Although fresh fruit juices are usually
packed with vitamins and minerals, they are loaded with high glycemic
sugars, and provide no fiber. These sugars will
keep your body out of the fat burning zone by raising insulin
levels. Soon after having raised insulin levels, your blood sugar shoots
back down making you hungry and putting you in a position of eating
more, or dealing with headaches, fatigue and other consequences. Neither
are good options for weight loss.
The absence of fiber in the juice also
allows the juice to be digested and absorbed in a flash, which can get
you into the position of low blood sugar, fast. Had you kept the fruit
intact, eating a little bit of the fruit would not be such a weight loss
killer because the fiber would have slowed down digestion, and you’d
have less overall sugar.
Keep your goal in mind when putting
anything in your mouth, whether it is food or drink. Your goal here is
weight loss. All liquids that pass your lips should be calorie-
free. For optimal results, go with tea or water.

What do you think of that diet where you eat certain foods based on your blood
type?
I’ve always been told to get a six- pack you need to do a lot of abs
work with high reps. Would you agree?

I’ve got fat located in
the area of my body where my arm meets my shoulder, and I can’t get rid
of it. Are there any exercises in particular that would help improve
that? Or what about any spot reducing supplements?
I know I should be having
some protein and carbs after a weights workout, but what about after
cardio? I've heard that you should wait 2 hours before eating.
You mentioned the benefits of scheduling a "cheat meal" into your eating
program at least once per week. Is there a best time to eat a cheat
meal?
Should I be counting my grams of fat, sugar, and calories?
What can I do to flatten my lower abs? I've been
doing crunches and hanging leg raises for the last year, but nothing
seems to help.
