What kind of juicer are you using? Do you feel full when you drink your morning smoothie?

Hi BK, To be clear, yesterday when I went to Tavares was the first time I have had a smoothie. My morning drink and afternoon drink are juices. Because my wife sleeps late and the juicer is noisy, I don't make my morning juice until 9am, although sometimes if I have to be out early for golf I'll make it the night before and put it in the fridge. If I start feeling hungry before noon, I'll just grab a handful of almonds which I need for protein anyway. My lunchtime juice around 1230 leaves me feeling pretty full I start feeling hungry again around 5 and eat a vegetarian entree around 6. I bought the Breville juicer and am very happy with it. It was $99 on Amazon. I think you are absolutely right about the carbs. What may be a moderate carb intake for an active person may be way too many carbs for a sedentary person. I am very pleasantly surprised that hunger has not been a problem. I am obviously expending more calories than I'm taking in because I'm losing weight. In the past, my body would go "uh oh, we must be starving to death...time to over eat." But not now.
