Type 2 Juice plus

Hi Claire. I don't know what this is...do you mean a juice diet?

If so, it is a good way to get nutrients into the body quickly but the downside is that it will raise your blood sugars extremely quickly x
 
Hi they are meal replacement shakes x I will look into What's in them properly and decide my blood sugars have only just started being good after 5 years of trying to control them so don't want anything that can bring them up again Thanks for replying x

Juice plus is a franchise operating business. You can buy them from a distributor.

That doesn't exactly make me more likely to trust them.

Juice Plus makes a number of other things (e.g. dehydrated vegetable/fruit capsules) so it might be helpful to specify the product in greater detail.

About the Juice Plus complete, it does strike me as odd that the fruit/vegetable powder blend is listed after flavours and rice maltodextrin - basically, that sounds like a bog-standard protein mix with a little bit of their powder blend sprinkled across to justify being able to put the Juice Plus label on it.

Don't know what the cost of the shakes are

2 Euros per serving (182 EUR for 6x 15 servings)
 
Does anyone know where I can buy that "juice plus fruit powders" can't find them anywhere even on online shopping?????

You can just Google it and they are on-line if you wish to purchase them.
 
I am type 2 and have been using Juiceplus for 3 months now and my overall control has got better. The information that you have been given here is wrong. It is not just 2 shakes and one meal!!! If you want more information let me know.
 
The celebrity endorsement was a bit of an own goal. From Spiker's link...

"In March 1994, OJ Simpson was videotaped telling 4,000 Juice Plus distributors at a sales meeting that the product had cured his arthritis, improved his golf game, and freed him from using anti-arthritic drugs. However, regarding the murder of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend, Ronald Goldman, for which Simpson was tried and acquitted, Simpson claimed in his defence that he was too incapacitated by arthritis to have committed the murders" :confused:

Juice Plus+ is a branded line of dietary supplements containing concentrated fruit and vegetable juice extracts fortified with added vitamins and nutrients. It is produced by Natural Alternatives International of San Marcos, California, for National Safety Associates (NSA; Collierville, Tennessee). Introduced in 1993,[2] the supplements are distributed by NSA via multi-level marketing.

Studies of Juice Plus' effects have generated conflicting and controversial results. Although Juice Plus claims its products' efficacy is backed by research, critics have argued that there is no scientific proof that Juice Plus offers significant health benefits and that deceptive claims are used in the product's marketing information. Some marketing claims made about Juice Plus products have been disputed by consumer watchdog organizations and governmental agencies as misleading[3] and according to Quackwatch it is "a colossal waste of money".[4]

@Spiker May I just add that JuicePlus has been around for over 40 years now and when it was first invented no way was it intended for people to lose weight. It was used for women, men & children as a nutritional intake to take their 5 a day basically in capsule and chewable form. Only 20 years ago was a weight loss programme then made and its been growing and growing with now millions of people reaping the benefits health wise as well as amazing weight loss. It contains no fillers or anything nasty like other supplements. It costs as little as £1 a day to use JuicePlus and its used to change your lifestyle once the 16 weeks is finished. Because its so healthy and full of nothing but nutrients and vitamins, its used everyday by millions for nutrition alone to improve immune system, sleeping patterns, energy, low G.I so its fantastic for those with diabetes and hypoglycemia like myself. I've never felt better. I will continue to take it as a supplement too... Athletes use it for pre & post workouts. Pregnant women use it to feed them all that goodness of just one shake a day. Children take the chewables for goodness. Its not in any way a FAD diet. Its used for many reasons to help everyone in many ways. Yes you spend a fair bit of money on healthy foods but so would you if you ate badly. Its fantastic and I've had nothing but great feedback
