Hi, Jeff. Yes! Just be sure to eat some whole produce each day to ensure you get the fiber.

I looked at your organic brand. I assume that would be at whole foods. So I substitute an 8 ounce serving (their label) for the veggies of choice? Thanks,
Jeff

Hi, jschillsr. V8 is largely OK (especially the low-sodium type), but there are organic brands that can be advantageous, such as this: http://www.evolutionfresh.com/juice/organic-v/.

What kind of vegetable drink (brand name) would be acceptable?

Hi, tonje1. Fruits and vegetables are indeed very important here, as they contain potassium – which can work against bloat, especially that associated with too much sodium.

No. it has been about 6 years that I have steadly gained weight. some was bad eating habits. even staying on this diet I am fighting to get this weight off. some was personal things happening that made me eat terribly.I do drink at least 8 glasses a day. do not go out often d/t having to eliminate all of it. I am careful when I eat out that they do not add salt to my meal.and do not order anything that is salty.

Hi, tonje1. Do you have any record of your weight before you started retaining water?

thank you so much. I am having a hard time getting the weight off .
I thought maybe I am not eating enough veggies. I found a drink that has lots of green veggies in it no sugar or salt. can’t do those also I am finding that some days I m retaining fluid more than other days. is there a way I can correct that.spoke with md gave me meds. some days it is okay other days not.

Hi, tonje1. Yes – just be sure it doesn’t contain artificial additives or too much sodium.

can I substitute vegetable drink for some of the snacks in place of vegetables of choice?
