Question
what are the nutrients that are lost in a 100% pure natural juice  (packet)that is "NOT FROM CONCENTRATES"

and what are the terms that are to be looked before buying such juices and what are its meaning like concentrate, pesteurized,etc

Answer
Hi Rajesh,

It means you might as well bite into a candy bar. Fresh fruit is where the goodies are. Pasteurized juice is cooked juice and that sugar is not what you want. Cranberry juice is an exception, there is one or two more, but basically, eat the fresh fruit and drink water.

There is nothing on earth more important than your body, your health. With a little knowledge, there is nothing in life you have more power, more control over. If you are tired of feeling bad, stop eating badly. Most of what we eat most of: only a human mistakes this stuff for food. Distinguish real, satisfying food from the mere flavored packing material that keeps you hungry. If you`ve been on every diet twice and are going crazy, I can give you a path to Peace in the Kitchen.

Experience

In the late '80's my weight up and down reached a crisis. Arthritus in my back made it painfull to move. Balancing blood sugar had me eating more often. Eating more, moving less, miserable. My doctor smiled, said "just move more and eat less". This from a medical professional about to burst his buttons. Not a working plan. I knew I had to write my own, so I started researching what was new to put with what sorta worked for me in the past. Eat protein, eat carbs, just not at the same time. Never go around hungry, listen to your body, it can tell you what it needs.
