Reddit mentions: The best fruit juice beverages

It sounds like you've realized that your body WANTS to eat because it feels like shit, but eating won't actually help. That's the first mental hurdle. Now you've just got to switch out your go-to foods for healthier versions so that when you do give into the binge (because that happens) it won't be so bad. I lost 35 pounds by just filling up on protein and vegetables FIRST.

I have a small history with eating disorders, mainly in the fact that if I count calories, things get out of control. So I don't count anything. I also don't let myself get too hungry - I'll eat 4-5 big snacks throughout the day, no real 'sit down' meals.

I also make sure I'm drinking enough water - I bought a few of these Contigo water bottles in the 32oz size, and I try to make sure I drink one bottle each day minimum.

I love to cook, but if I cook, I can't do anything else that day, so I eat a lot of packaged food and snacks, or fresh things that just need to be washed. I also eat things with a lot of flavor and spice -- bland food makes me mentally feel like I didn't eat anything, or that I'm depriving myself.

For protein I eat a lot of EPIC meat bars and canned tuna. Instead of eggs (because shells and sinks are unnecessary steps), I make a mountain of egg whites from the carton with sharp cheddar sprinkled/melted in, then LOTS of hot sauce. Sliced deli meats are great things to have on hand -- my deli has Lebanon bologna and lemon-pepper turkey, so I get those instead of the plain stuff.

For veggies, my favorite low-effort thing is IKEA veggie meatballs. But if you don't live near an IKEA, there might be another veggie meatball option at your store. I used to hate salads, then realized I just hated iceberg and romaine lettuce. So now I eat spinach salads (with carrots and olives and roasted red peppers from the jar and sometimes cucumbers). I don't use salad dressing -- just olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and garlic salt. I'll eat green bell peppers raw, like an apple. I eat a lot of apples, too. Honeycrisp are the best.

For good carbs/starches I make beans. Just dump 'em in a bowl in the microwave. Black beans with salsa is probably the healthiest option, but I also liked mixing Great Northern beans with canned sweet peas. Any bean with butter and some kind of hot sauce or salsa is gonna taste ok and be kind of healthy. (Not refried beans, though. Save that for a treat and/or really bad day. Load it up with cheese and salsa.)

To replace chips for salt cravings, I get these salt-and-vinegar almonds. They have lactose, for whatever reason, but other than a bit of bloating the first time I had them, they haven't really bothered my lactose intolerance. And they will low-key tear up your tongue in the BEST way (if you're into that).

I don't really have a sweet tooth, but the KIND bars come in all sorts of flavors and make great snacks. For a cold treat I get the Smooze fruit ices -- they've only got 10 grams of sugar.

I also really like the Thai Kitchen Instant Noodles. They're small servings, so sometimes I'd make two for a meal. Read the packages carefully if you have allergies, though --- the Lemongrass one has shellfish byproducts, which was a very scary and upsetting surprise for me.

Another important thing is just not to have the 'bad foods' (you know the ones) in the house. My dad left a bag of regular cheddar Goldfish here yesterday, and I ate the entire damn thing, despite my gluten and lactose intolerances. So I've been miserable all night. But today I will drink my water and eat my eggs and get back on track.

Nah its so sweet its unpleasant lol. Here's some very nice squash, Robinsons stuff is great. Ribena is great too and Vimto. Love the Vimto remixes too, especially these ones. That's quite a bit more expensive than here in the UK, but all amazon US links, i'd highly recommend them!! I bet some of them are even price competiive with juice from the store for you guys as you water it down.

There must be some cheaper, American made brands too even just for expats. Its pretty cheap to make. I really recommend Ribena though, classic drink for kids and adults since WWII. Vimto has been well known for a long time and that specific remix flavour I linked I take to work every day. And Robinsons is a squash every kid has in a cupboard in the house somewhere :)

My husband has made me several crazy delicious batches of passionfruit beers. He used this:

http://www.amazon.com/Concentrate-Passion-16-9-Ounce-Plastic-Bottles/dp/B004746V26?ie=UTF8&keywords=da%20fruta&qid=1465427487&ref_=sr_1_1_a_it&sr=8-1

Prime shipping is free - if you don't have it you likely know someone who does. Worth it to ask around. If you can't find anyone I'll order it for you - PM me.

He also used frozen Goya puree, which we used to be able to get at El Mezquite Market on San Pedro and Central, but has been scarce for a while now. We tried Pro's Ranch Market (now called Los Altos Ranch Market) too, but it's been a while since we looked.

But Goya does make a great puree, if you can find it. Best bet is probably a Hispanic market - we didn't try them all, and like I said, it's been a while.

Hope you can find some and that your saison turns out wonderfully - there is nothing better than a good passionfruit beer!

edit: there is also this one - http://www.davinehawaii.com/product/passion-fruit-puree-3-bottles/ $45 plus $15 shipping. never tried it but i'm going to get some!

There is certainly a transition period from glucose to ketone energy. Your body needs to adapt to using ketones and fatty acids efficiently, and it can take months to reach fat adaption, but once you do it is a steady source of energy and endurance is great. But for now you're definitely pushing it. Keto is also diuretic, you lose minerals and that will drain energy fast. Unless you replenish them daily, your kidneys start recycling your water to hang onto salts, which can stall loss from dehydration. Easiest way to ensure you get some more electrolytes is drinking a ketoade daily. You can search out recipes and tweak a concoction of your own.

My ketoade is 1/4tsp salt for sodium; 1/2tsp lite salt for sodium/potassium. You could also use 1/4tsp Nu/No Salt instead, or buy a potassium citrate powder; 1tsp magnesium citrate powder. I use a nice water bottle that unscrews so I can dump in the mixture and add water; 1Tbsp lemon juice; and sweetener. Tastes like a mild lemonade. You could also flavor with Mio or powdered drink packet or other water enhancers, instead. Refrigerate and grab in the morning to drink throughout the day along with plain water, might want a couple bottles each day. It leaves room to get electrolytes in food, but ensures you get enough to not feel horrible if you can't get enough from meals.

HAPPY CAKE DAY!! YAAAY!

Awesome sheets? You mean like... bed sheets? I feel like I'm missing some kind of slang here. Now get off my lawn! ;)

Concord Grape Raspberry Juice from my "Help" Wishlist, or a gift card would be equally great!

Thanks for the contest!

Sounds like you have a pretty good idea what needs to be done. Water should be the only liquid going into your body other than soup or other medicines. Too much sugar in juiced. Take the indomethecin with pure organic cherry juice. This is the one I find that helps the most. Good luck. I hope you find a solution that works for you.

So let's break this down:


__


1A. If you're looking for good caffeinated tea to start the day I would recommend Red Blossom's Formosa Red #18, Mi Xiang It's a cross between a traditional assam breakfast tea and a native Taiwanese cultivar. Certainly the finest black breakfast tea on the market.



1B. If you're looking for non-caffeinated breakfast options, I would go with something like [Tartary Buckwheat] (https://www.amazon.com/Moyishi-Organic-Buckwheat-Tea-Loose/dp/B00EZ7Q3Y6/ref=sr_1_1_s_it?s=grocery&ie=UTF8&qid=1491244562&sr=1-1&keywords=soba+cha). Goes great with most breakfast foods.


__


2A. If you're looking for a caffeinated nighttime option, definitely go with a good white tea like [Silver Needle] (https://www.redblossomtea.com/tea/white/silver-needle-2016.html).



2B. If you're looking for non-caffeinated nighttime option, you simply can't beat [camomille] (https://www.amazon.com/Frontier-Organic-Chamomile-Flowers-German/dp/B001VNGN9C/ref=sr_1_1_s_it?s=grocery&ie=UTF8&qid=1491244762&sr=1-1&keywords=chamomile).

Remember for best results with both Camellia and herbal teas - always brew Gong Fu Cha style. This means use a high leaf to water ratio and brew for shorter periods of time.

I bought some in 2010 from here- http://theworldsbestfruit.com/pages/buynow.html

I thought their prices were pretty good ($15 for a jumbo box), and they will send you 1 tablet to sample for around $3 american. I think they even had a Winnipeg office at the time, but I can't find any evidence that it's still running.

http://www.miraclefruit.ca/products/miracle-fruit-tablets/ is Canadian, but seems to be out of stock.

Sage Garden will sell you the actual plant, but they are extremely finicky (EDIT: the plant, not the store owners). http://www.herbs.mb.ca/en/on-line-shopping/c378145981/miracle_fruit_lg.html

http://www.miracleberrycafe.com/buy_miracle_fruit_berry_tablets.html also sells them for slightly cheaper shipping than World's Best Fruit.

Amazon- different shipping options. http://www.amazon.ca/Miracle-Frooties-Tablets-600mg-Strength/dp/B004US0Z3K

http://www.amazon.ca/Miracle-Frooties-LIMITED-Original-5xStrength/dp/B004SI0PVY

I'd recommend eating the whole large tablet to make sure it's effective. It tastes like weird cardboard, and you have to let it slowly dissolve on your tongue and not bite or swish it around your mouth. It's kind of gross. Then for around up to 30 minutes, you will have your mind blown. Lemons, limes, grapefruit, lemon juice, goat cheese, dill pickles, sour candies, all that stuff will become nectar of the gods. Don't forget to pop a couple of Tums before you start stuffing your face with heartburn-inducing food.

I think they're only good for 2 years, but mine are around 4 years old and still work.

If you like your margaritas with fresh lime juice, I would keep making them that way. Even freshly squeezed lime juice loses its brightness (acidity) even after 12 hours of refrigeration.

Is Pasteurized Juice a Blessing or a Curse?

If your time is too valuable to freshly squeeze your limes, Amazon does have a cold pressed, pasteurized lime juice available. Once opened, you have maybe a few days before it becomes unusable, so be prepared to drink a bunch of margaritas. I would think that most on this forum would tell you they far prefer fresh lime juice.

Lakewood - Organic Pure Juice Lime

​

Good luck!

This is juice from concentrate. There's nothing wrong with that. I don't think you're going to do better on the cheap.

This is slightly more and slightly better

Oregon Fruit has aseptic pink guava puree, but probably bigger quantity than you want: https://shop.fruitforbrewing.com/

I drive down to Salem to pick up their puree in a 42lb box, since their minimum order for shipping is 2 boxes. However, some of their purees are also available in a 3 lb can. You might contact them directly to ask--they're friendly folks.

Edit: I checked their retail distributor's site, and it look like they make the guava puree in the cans, just the 42 lb boxes.

https://shop.brewcraftusa.com/aseptic-pink-guava-puree-42-lb-19-05-kg-1728-v-1

Still, it's worth contacting them to be sure.

Edit2: Well, I guess Amazon has everything (although this has added sugar):

https://www.amazon.com/Natural-Fruit-Puree-Pink-Guava/dp/B076BLYZNT/ref=asc_df_B076BLYZNT/

It's honestly best if you make it yourself. And when it's good, it's amazing.


This is an awesome recipe. Idk where you're from, but if you're not in the Americas, try searching for something like this if you don't have key limes. Then use a bit of fresh juice from a regular lime and zest it for adding into the pie. It won't be the exact flavor, but close enough.

Is that Indonesia or Indiana? Big difference in shipping.

Your best bet is going to be the cans, like this. Amazon and Amazon Marketplace should be pretty good if it's Indiana, not sure about Indonesia.

In Germany there's a great mixed beer they make called Bananenweizen that is a hefeweizen mixed with a few tablespoons of banana nectar. If you can find this brand of banana nectar in any stores near you, try it out sometime if you like hefeweizen in general. It's one of my favorite things now, especially delicious on a hot summer day. Very refreshing taste.

Ok there are two things that remind me of (or really, are) my username!

Remember this game?? hehehe

Also - there is this popular hawaiian drink that is often made into margaritas - and they call them Pogaritas. I didn't even know this drink existed until I was playing around googling my own username. A friend made my name up... o.0

Imagination is greater than detail!

Here is the link. It looks like it's sold out right now, but it was also sold out a few minutes before I bought it. I was hitting refresh like a mad man waiting for concert ticket links to go live. Best of luck!

It's very popular as a sweet drink in Asia and some other areas. It's actually delicious.

www.amazon.com/ALO-Exposed-Beverage-Honey-Ounce/dp/B001LTZ7P2/

Comes in original and all kinds of other flavors. I'm not positive about eating it raw from the plant though.

I've done it, and here's a much cheaper option. I can personally vouch for this brand. Great stuff and I have it as good ole tea almost every night. Vaped, it's pretty amazing.

Walmart should be carrying them. But, if they aren't stocked, ecto.cool says they are sold on Amazon, too.

Hi-C Ecto Cooler Citrus Juice, 11.5 Ounce (Pack of 12) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01FUB9XMY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_-GpwxbMWR0Z6B

Edit... What the shit is with the downvote. I'm helping you out here! The damn website says they can be found at Walmart and Amazon, and other small retailers.

Edit 2. Please see apology below.

It's really good and is really common in the UK. I'd advise you to find a local British or international shop and searching for either Ribena or Robinsons' Blackcurrant Squash (Not sure if you have that in the US but basically its concentrated juice, make sure to dilute it). They might not be the best Blackcurrent flavoured thing out there but they're very popular so you can probably find them if you live near a major city.

Or, you know, just order it off amazon instead.

Oh yeah! I posted my SO's Birthday Munchie Meal last year here.

As far as the Hawaiian Sun goes, I'm only able to find it in small Asian food stores (conveniently, the same place that sells sushi grade salmon and poke) but Amazon is your friend if you need some POG in your life.

This recipe looks great thanks. If anyone in the UK wants to know where to get the cherry concentrate I got it from here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B002OVMO5M/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?qid=1452947631&sr=8-2&pi=SY200_QL40&keywords=Dynamic+Health&dpPl=1&dpID=41bJ5yuT72L&ref=plSrch

I have German chamomile from "Frontier Natural Products" and I like it a lot. UK Amazon listing and U.S. Amazon listing

As a 1 oz/day user, I poop regularly at 8 am each day. I even wake up at 8 to poop on days when I can normally sleep in. I rarely poop twice in a day.

I just make sure I do two things:

1. Drink a 32oz tumbler of ice water with each dose. (I drink 4-5 of those a day anyway.)
   
2. Eat a high fiber breakfast. (my fav)
   
   Another thing that helps, but is not necessary, is a squatty potty. I used to use it only when constipated (when on other opiates), but now I use it as much as possible, because it just feels right.
   
   Finally, when nothing else works, a 1/3 - 1/2 bottle of tart cherry juice will get things moving.
   
   The only thing that will for-sure-every-time constipate me is the capsules, so I avoid those like the plague.

that people were talking about yesterday - what is the best way to ship these? I'm thinking put in a ziploc bag, bubble wrap it, put in a small box, ship UPS?

I would recommend brewing any good south indian black tea then adding a tablespoon of:

http://www.amazon.com/Dynamic-Health-Certified-Concentrate-16-Ounce/dp/B002OVMO5M

this works well both hot and cold.

I've seen it at a few shaws, but like anything you can get it on amazon with prime shipping.

Hawaiian Sun can always be found at Takahashi market in San Mateo for the best price. If that is an issue just order it on Amazon...

I think I have bought this in the past Tart cherry juice not from concentrate

Regarding timing of results I have no idea but it depends on the following:

• Reducing all foods and drinks[high in purines] that increase uric acid concentration.
  
• Usually veggies with high purines don't cause issues
  
• Keeping extremities warm so that the uric acid does not form crystals in extremities.
  
• Drink more water than normal(EDIT: I mean ALOT of water ... but dont give yourself hyponatremia from too much water though.)
  
• Increase things that reduce inflammation (A diet used for reducing inflammation is helpful)
  -Avoid things with high fructose corn syrup (AKA: ‘fructose’ or ‘fructose syrup’. )

Theres actually a very popular drink that uses it

No prob! I have to say though, for the tart cherry porter specifically that I make, I use a tart cherry concentrate instead of the actual fruit. This is the one I use:

https://www.amazon.ca/TART-CHERRY-ORGANIC-JUICE-CONC/dp/B002OVMO5M?ie=UTF8&*Version*=1&*entries*=0

I add half the bottle for a 5gal batch and I find it works perfectly, at least for that recipe.

I've had some luck with random apple juices, but really you're going to be looking at an organic store. Whole Foods, Trader Joe's....

Amazon sales Whole Foods' brand which is called 365.

Do you have prime fresh? they sell the same kind

Most of the recipes I've seen call for Key Lime Juice to be used, rather than get a bunch of fresh key limes. I know it's what I plan on doing.

This is what I drink, and I've been very pleased with it. It's not bags, but you could just get an inexpensive like this if you don't have one already.

Not bullshit
