Well, now I learn. But the Costco frozen orange does not show any added
sugar. I used to get up every morning around 8am and drink one glass of
orange juice from frozen concentrated.
Then, work until around noon or 1pm. Then, I feel hungry and eat a light
lunch. Typically a cup of whole wheat mix with some dry fruit, such as
resins.
Then, not until 6pm, then, I have a dinner of a small plate of veggie and
rice and couple pieces of fish.
I do like to loss 10 pounds. I ran few miles, if the weather permits.
