Would apple juice be fat

Answer 1

This article explains if fruit juice makes you fat or not. The title "Can Fruit Juice Give You A Heart Attack?" is just a catchy hook to get people to read it. The article is really good though. And its the most detailed article I have ever read about how fruit juice effects your fat. The original article can be found at: http://muscle-balance-training.com/blog/652/can-fruit-juice-give-you-a-heart-attack/Can Fruit Juice Give You A Heart Attack?

Well, not exactly…

You see if you consider a margarita fruit juice then yah, with high blood pressure and a heart condition you should be worried about drinking juice beverages with too much salt, let alone Alcohol!

So why am I writing this post? I am a proponent of fruit juice actually, and all fruit in general.

It happens to be a trend right now where personal trainers and other fitness professionals are telling you to stay away from fruit juice. It has got so bad that one of my die hard clients wont even touch the stuff from what she has seen in the media… So can fruit juice make you fat? Yes, if that's all you drink…

Then why as a personal trainer do I love to tell my clients to drink fruit juice then? What's wrong with me?

Well, nothing… (You should know by now this is my normal contrarian style.)

You just have to understand how the human body works. And most "Professionals" are too lazy to explain the truth behind such popular topics, and it is much easier to join the bandwagon and get a lot of press time for it then to tell the whole story.

So here I go… I like to think people read my blog and watch my videos because I do a good job at breaking it down for you to understand even the "most complex" topics on health so it is easy to understand. And you know what? It really is easy to understand once you know it…

Your body is like a campfire in the woods… The more wood on the fire, the more it will burn and the hotter it will get. But, how do you start the campfire to begin with?

You can't just throw a bunch of logs into a pit and try to light them with a match can you? Does that really work? NO!!!

So what do you have to do to get the fire going?

Kindling!

That's right, you can't start it with logs, but possibly some rolled up newspaper with plenty of air to have the small little flame from the match breath and grow while feeding on the easily digestible thin paper. (Are you starting to see the connection? Keep reading… It gets better!)

The small little flame from the match needs paper or moss to light. Then the paper and or moss produce a bigger flame for the small twigs to handle.

Once the small twigs start burning really good, you can add more twigs and some larger sticks broken up to burn. Now you have a fire and you can place a BIG LOG on the already lit flames.

As the fire burns all day long, you keep adding logs and sticks to the flames till it gets close for bedtime.

When bedtime approaches, you let the fire slowly die down so you can easily put it out right before you go to sleep so you don't burn down the forest. (But really, if you were stranded like savior man, you would let it burn and smolder till you got up in the morning… But that's different.)

This analogy really is directly linked to your metabolism.

If you just think of your body and energy like a camp fire, you will do just fine!

You see, our metabolisms are like a raging furnace burning all day long, and all night long. We constantly need food to provide the calories to keep us going. ("Yah Jeff, got that, what's that have to do with my Jelly Roll?")

Remember what happens to the fire if you try to through a log on very first thing in the morning? NOTHING! The log just sits there no matter how many times you try to light it!

Now, even if you kept the fire smoldering all night and it never really went out, then through a log on. Does the log catch fire right away if its placed on some hot coals that don't have a flame?

NO!!! It just sits there and roasts! Not catch fire till you play with it a whole heck of a lot and add some sort of kindling helper.

Now…. What's this have to do with your body? And fruit juice? EVERYTHING!

You see, since your body is a furnace, you can't stack a log of eggs, bacon, and pancakes in the furnace and expect it to catch on fire. Unless… You add a lot of unhealthy surgery syrup on the plate with some coffee (Gasoline) to boot!

Now, by the time you ate all this and drank the anxiety causing caffeine, your jittery and just packed on 4 pounds to your jellyroll. (See, I told you there was a connection… Right… On with the fruit juice.)

Fruit juice is natural, and it has a high glycemic level.

Wait a minute! "I thought High Glycemic was Bad?!?!?"

If all you eat is high glycemic, then ya. You're going to get fat… But let me explain.

Remember the kindling? That is an example of a high glycemic food.

If all you did was burn a high glycemic kindling like paper in your fire, you would have a really BIG FIRE! For about 5 Minutes… And that's it… Then you would have no fire for the rest of the day till you burned more paper, and that would last you for another 5 minutes.

So, same thing happens when you eat nothing but sugar and junk right? Candy gives you a sugar rush but then you crash.

You need to use fruit juice like it is your fire starter in the morning. Drink down about a half a cup to a full cup of juice, let it sit in you while you go prepare for the morning.

While your showering and getting ready, your body is taking the juice and creating the starter fire for the day.

After your shower, eat something. At least after your done getting ready for work.

Go get some oatmeal or something. Yes, Carbs!

You see, this is the next step. The carbs from the oatmeal will be able to burn better now that your metabolism is burning, and the carbs will keep you going like some big twigs!

So what about the big sticks and logs???

That's why fitness trainers tell you to eat protein with every carb you put in your body. The protein is like a big log, and the big log will slow the burn of your smaller twigs to sustain you through the day! As long as you tend your fire regularly!

That means eat plenty of veggies and eat a sensible complex carbohydrate rich meal WITH PROTIEN during lunch, then veggies and pieces of fruit till dinnertime. (And dinner really should not be that heavy of a meal like most Americans seem to believe is necessary.) And you will feel great!

So, fruit juice can and should play a role in your diet, unless you are diabetic then listen to your doctor.

Just remember, think of your body like a campfire and make sure you tend to the fire all day, and let it simmer for night time. Use the fruit juice to start the flame or the heavy meals you eat will sit on your belly like a log on a campfire.

Answer 2

Fattening is a relative term. Since they concentrate the sugars of the fruit they're made from, they're higher in calories than the original fruit. The calorie content weighed against the nutritional value of real fruit juices (not drinks or cocktails that contain sugar) is not excessive if consumed in moderate amounts. However, fresh fruit contains the fiber that has been filtered out of fruit juice. If you eat plenty of fresh fruits, drinking the juice is not a dietary necessity.

If you want to drink juice, the trick is to know the difference between 100% fruit juice and juice drinks; the calories may read the same on the label but the nutritional value is not the same. The drinks and cocktails have replaced some of the juice with non-nutritive sugar water. So, even with the same calories, the 100% juice provides more nutrition bang for the buck.

Answer 3

Anything with calories can be fattening if taken in high amounts. Pure Tomato Juice is relatively low calorie compared to other juices, but watch for blends as these have increased calories. The real concern with tomato juice is the very high salt content, which can cause bloating, blood pressure increases, etc. Opt for the low sodium version.

Answer 4

Apple Juice is fat free. However it contains sugar and too much sugar can make you fat.
