What kind of juicer are you using? Do you feel full when you drink your morning smoothie?
bkcunningham - you are probably right about that. In reading the science behind the Atkins diet many years ago, I remember it explaining how to gradually add carbs back into your diet to maintain your weight. His reasoning was the same as yours, that it is an individual thing.

One of the things that surprised me in researching sugar/carb content of various fruits and vegetables a while back, was how some vegetables actually contain more sugar than some fruits.

Thanks, barryrx, for continuing to share. It's great to have this exchange of thoughts and ideas!
