No More Soda

I have been drinking water, Crystal Light, and juices. Was wondering though, if there are any juices that are lower in sugar than others. I bought some Langers tropical juices, and they have about 30g of sugar, which is less than soda but still really high. Anyone have any thoughts??

Juice is going to have sugar, simply because it is from fruit, which naturally has sugar. Just stay away from the Sunny D type "juices" and you should be ok. -------------- Spark the fire that will torch the numbness inside.

Sunny D makes me throw up literally, so thats not a problem...I guess I will just buy what looks like it will taste good, and not look at the sugar content as it is natural sugar. Thanks

Eat some fruit, at least you get fiber and something filling in your stomach. Drink water and crystal light - herbal tea is great, too! -------------- If you fall down seven times, get up eight.

The juice is more for my husband(no soda for him either) and for when I want a break from the others, and as a treat for when I have been really really good!
