    That "bulk for rubbish" is called fiber.

    Fiber has so many healthy benefits. Including weight loss applications...........

    I think there's a formula out there somewhere on the interwebs to calculate what the actual calories are in the juice itself. I just use the calories from the non-juiced fruit as I'd rather be over than under.

    There's a great website that has some good juice recipes. I've made a few from it and they've been good (with the exception of the V8 one. That was nasty!)
