Hey thanks so much ALB! Yeah, I can't even drink juice when I'm not fasting, It makes me feel nauseous and it throws my sugar levels way off. The problem with juice is that the fruit is stripped of its fibre content, and it is the fibre that allows the sugars in the fruit to be slowly digested by the body. Without the fibre the sugar goes straight through ya. I feel sick after drinking juice, and even when its fresh squeezed, I would prefer just eating a watermelon!
You are doing so well, especially in the cold climate where you are! So proud of you and your wife! Hoping to go 5-6 more days myself... feeling great but have a way to go! :)
