[quote=Anonymous]I can tell you the guidance Weight Watchers gives me, which makes a lot of sense. On WW, all fruits are "free" -- don't have to count them and they are unlimited. They don't affect weight loss. BUT You can't drink your fruit. You have to count smoothies. They have tons of points. The fruit smoothie you make in the morning would probably take up almost a full days points. Why? Because when you blend up fruit like that and drink it instead of eating it and getting the fiber and going through the act of eating and filling your belly with the fruit and digesting and satiating, you are giving yourself a huge blood sugar high with really no long term nutritional and satiety payoff for your body. Very little bang for your buck. In other words, eat two bananas -- stay full for the morning. That's why they are free. Blend two bananas into a smoothie? Stay full for 20 minutes. Pay the points.[/quote]
