pros: easier and more delicious than fruit, keeps longer than fruit. cons: lacks much of fruit's fiber, is more sugary than filling, extremely easy to overcarb on.
i weigh 240 lbs right now (down from 250 10 days ago) and my diet includes a restriction to about 125g carbs daily. i split this up into 5 meals. 2 or 3 of these meals are whey shakes, and i can only include 3 oz of juice in the shake. one full glass of juice is more than half a day's carbs for me. red grape juice is almost all the day's carbs in a 16 oz glass.
so. good for high-carb, high-energy diets, and convenient. bad as hell for losing weight.
