When I went on my big diet a couple of years ago (I’ve lost 100 lbs so far), I started having a “healthy breakfast” that included some sort of juice, usually orange juice. My diet was working well, and my doctor asked about my method, and I mentioned juice.
She immediately told me to stop drinking juice, saying “Don’t get your calories from juice, it’s mostly sugars, get your calories from real food.” I stopped drinking juice, and while I can’t identify the specific benefit of that, I can understand how a big sweet calorie bomb at the beginning of the day is not a good idea for weight loss.
