Today I am going to reduce the amount of fruit juices and sugared drinks I have to just two a day.  I know that I cannot give it completely up since I am always on the run and don't have enough time to "eat" real fruit so I guess drinking it is better than nothing.  Anyway, I have a sweet tooth so I don't even know how much fruit drinks I usually drink but I've read a few studies that said Americans drink too much "sugared" drinks each day.  My kids love fruit juices but I'm going to limit them, too (too bad for them, mom wants to make a change and the whole family suffers .....)

I think I am having major sugar withdrawal right now since I didn't even have my first serving yet (am trying to save my fruit juice drinks to go with my lunch and dinner).  I'm eyeing an over-riped banana on my kitchen counter right now so I think I am going to eat it to get my sugar fix.  Note to self, "Must buy more fresh fruits..."

i know what you mean.. i love drinking orange juice but it (even if fresh squeezed) is full of sugar. so to cut down on sugar and calories, i dilute the juice with same amount of water. but my favorite thing now is to drink water with a slice of lemon in it. the rind gives it a refreshing effervescence.
