If it makes you inclined to feel hungry, then perhaps it's not helpful

(though not necessarily 'bad') -- what about consuming the grapes

themselves?

It doesn't make me hungry at all. Quite the opposite, acutally (though it

may be psychological). The reason for not eating grapes is the fact that

concord grapes are not easy to get in my little Middle-of-Nowhere-USA

grocery store. Juice is easier. Plus I'm not sure I'd like

crunching/eating the seeds to get the good stuff from the seeds. I'm just

curious if it's not healthy to consume that much sugar alone without

protien, fiber or something else with it? If it's fine, then great, I'd

love to keep doing what I'm doing. I just don't want to do something

conter-productive.

Thanks!

As mentioned, the entire grape would be better. But since you don't

have that option, why not dilute the juice 1/2 and 1/2 with water for less

sugar and calories? That's what I do with blueberry juice.

My preferred juice is the 8 blend veggie kind such as V-8. Since the

" whole food " generally is better to consume I only drink the juice on days

when I've been too busy to make an actual raw salad or too rushed to eat

one.

OTOH, if that's your only " vice " I'd say don't worry about it.
