Hey, guess what? NO ONE can digest fiber; that's why it's called "fiber"! Now, that said, do you have a bowel condition?

i would say yes. juice can provide some vitamins too -- i mean it isn't completely HI-C 
i've always considered it too calorie dense and sugary for me and my kids.
i just heard a dietician on TV say 4 ounces of juice a day is about all she would recommend, but again that isn't considering special dietary needs, such as yours. she endorsed juice specifically for its vitamin content, yes; especially organic juice which is very expensive. |
Dietician? What, they study sports nutrition? Not many (if any). Read and listen to PhD sports nutritionists instead. It isn't just about WHAT to eat; it's about WHEN and HOW MUCH. Way too complicated for a discussion board. Juice can be great, but never during a run or just before. After is the best time. But not too soon after, depending on the juice's glycemic index.

Can someone name some sort of drink that I coculd use as fuel for long runs? I did just fine doing 13 miles on OJ since I was sick of chugging gatorade. I've heard that is good for endurance sports, but I have the feeling that is BS because its extremely processed and sugary...and to think I enjoy running for it's simplicity...
