Drink juice judiciously
Drink juice judiciously. "Fruit drinks" are not the same as "fruit juice." Usually, fruit drinks are sugary solutions fortified with vitamins. Fruit juice does contain natural sugars but it also provides other good stuff (vitamins, minerals, antioxidants) from the fruit. The one exception: fiber, which gets processed out. So don't drink juice as your primary way to meet your 5 to 9 fruits and veggies each day. Whole fruits are more filling and take longer to eat, leaving you more satisfied. Opt for juice occasionally—and when you do, choose 100% fruit juices.
