Hello.

Both V8 and tomato juice up to 6 oz. are allowed on this plan.

I drink the low sodium V8 (even though it does not say you have to) and add a little lemon juice to it. Due to a gastrointestinal problem I have, I have to be careful about how much "raw" veggies/fiber I take in a day --- so the V8 helps me out.

I started SBD at 211 on 9/8 and as of today I am at 196 (down 15 lbs. in exactly 5 weeks),

so for me --- the V8 does not seem to be having any detrimental affects :)

Good Luck

Ellen
