When you eat fruit in its natural state the fibre content means that the natural sugars are digested slowly and are not a problem, fruit juice on the other hand is a big hit of these natural sugars without the fibre, it is digested differently and tends to go to your liver where it is stored as fat. As long as you are counting the calorie content of your juice it shouldn't affect your weight loss, but it is much healthier to eat an orange or an apple instead.

Thanks for your help

So I've been drinking some home made smoothies . For instants kale , carrot , celery , and other veg then I'll add some apple jut or orange juice make two drinks from it and drink one in morning and one in the evening .. Do you think is a better way to incorporate the juices .? As I have about 7 cartons in the fridge .

If your smoothies include all the fibre from the veg that will mean the sugars get digested like whole fruit and avoid the juice only problem

It's probably better to be eating more veg than fruit, so that you are keeping your sugar intake low.

Thanks concerned

So I don't know if you saw my replies to some comments earlier so if I put say 3 portions of fruit in a smoothies with 3 veg .. ? ..

Wow yeah . Really in depth but thanks for advice more veg then fruit sounds good .
