Tomato Juice

[jade]

Hey All,
I'm confused about when we can start having tomato juice. Also, can we have V-8 juice or should we stick to just plain tomato juice.

Thanks in advance!

I used V-8 when I started OWL with no problems. I bought the small individual size cans to control portions.

I'm at work and don't have my DANDR, but watch V8 because I think it has carrots in it and I believe those higher carb veggies are added further up the rungs. Unless you're at that rung, of course!

As Kimberboh suggested you will have to watch portion size with juices.
check your labels to make sure you are having only 5 net carbsworth in one day - which fitday suggests would be only about half a cup.

actually while you can juice your veggies Dr Atkins advises us in DANDR not to drink our food as juice since that will be missing the fiber. it isa the fiber that helps to slow the speed of passage of those carbs so they don't spike your BS.

happy low carbing.

Hey All,
Thanks for your replies. Here's something I'm wondering about though. I remember reading what Dr. Atkins said about juice (to eat our food not juice it) but wasn't tomato juice an exception because it does better when juiced or cooked? I'll have to look that one up.

Thanks All!
