If you are not eating at least 6-8 servings of fruits and vegetables everyday, you are seriously limiting your potential for success in the area of fitness. Fruits and vegetables not only provide proper nutritional support but they act as cleansers for your body.
They help detox all the toxins in your body so if you are not eating them, you can be sure that you are adding weight which will be very hard to get rid of. Fat is easy to burn away, but guck and build-up in your intestinal walls can’t be eliminated through workouts.
So, what if you don’t have time for this? What do you do if you can’t prepare so many servings on a daily basis?
Well I use a supplement called Veggie Greens®. One scoop of this stuff gives you about 6 servings of your daily fruits and vegetables that you need. On top of this if you eat a few servings of fruits and vegetables with your meals anyway, then you are all set!
Just remember, it’s a supplement, not a substitute… but it’s definitely better than nothing.

You know….I hate most veggies and fruit…eh, it\’s just a pain in the ass and the skin on some of it gives me the willies (peaches…..*shivers*)…what about V8 Fusion? I actually like that…it doesn\’t taste so \"vegetably\". Any thoughts on that? The Blueberry Acai, I think it is ….that\’s pretty good stuff and they make a \"lite\" version.

You peel peaches? Might as well suck on your thumb… you’ll probably the same nutritional value outa it. It’s all about that fuzzy skin.
As for v8 fusion, yeah I saw the ads everywhere but I haven’t personally tried it so I can’t comment on it yet. Maybe I’ll pick some up soon times. Whatever is in there though, probably beats the hell out of pop and juices from concentrate.
