I've heard the author speak a couple of times on Oprah. I can't think
of his name, but he seems knowledgeable and he's entertaining to
listen to. I expect the book would be worthwhile.

The doc I think is Mehmet Oz. Dr Oz... I don't know anything about his
diet, but I have heard him on TV several times and I really like him. He
strikes me as sincere and no nonsense.

Did you incorporate any of the suggestions? I'm eating a lot of apples ...
btw does taking fresh apples and juicing them change the fiber content? Does
apple juice from the store have fiber?
Thanks : -)

I have been living a new way of life since May 12 when I found out my blood
pressure was very, very high. I have lost 74 pounds to date and feel much
better than I have in over a decade. I got the book because it sounded like
a good read and I had seen the authors on television and was interested in
their theory about the waist measurement being a more informative
measurement than one's weight. Some of the suggestions--such as eating the
same breakfast and lunch every day--I had already begun. The 30 minutes of
walking was something I also did already--although it isn't always walking.
During the summer it was swimming, and in inclement weather I use a
treadmill or ride my recumbent exercise bike. The food choices and
suggestions are very close to what I already do. The information on how the
body works and the brain chemicals that affect weight, hunger, etc, were
very interesting. I finished reading the book last week, and will read it
again when school is out for winter break and I have some relaxation time.
I think it is well worth reading.

As for fiber in juice, most apple juice does not contain fiber. That is one
of the reasons that doctors say that juice is not the best option for
children. Parents think that they are promoting health--but juice contains
a lot of sugar (fructose). There are juices out there with "added fiber,"
but it makes much more sense just to eat the fruit and get the great fiber
that naturally occurs there. That pulpy part that is left after you squeeze
out the juice is where the fiber is.

I guess it would depend on if you are just pureeing the apples, or
separating the pulp from the juice...

Yes, it is really a good book. Mehnet OZ and Michael Roizen have made
this complex subject an easy and fun read. I like the Factoids they put
through the entire book and the theme of the need to walk at least 30
minutes a day and to do mild strength training. This is so true yet is
hard to stay disciplined at it each week especially during the
holidays.

How do you like the recumbent bike? Do you think the Jack La Lane juicer is
any better at retaining the fiber? I drink a lot of juice but it's replacing
soda pop so I think that's good.

I like the recumbent bike better than a regular exercise bike. It is more
comfortable to sit on. And I can read a book while exercising. I have to
squeeze in reading during the busy times of year--and I do love to read!

I don't use juicers at all. I like the whole fruit. The most I do is mix
nonfat plain yogurt with fruit and blwent them into a smoothie. I would
imagine if you just ground them all up into juice, they would have the same
fiber as the fruit does. But I've never done that. You would certainly
have more control of what was in the juice if you made it yourself.

Thanks for the advice. I'm thinking about a recumbent bike.
