Aside from water, what are some healthy choices I can make when chosing beverages?
G.O.A.T. asked:
In an effort to lose weight I have stopped drinking soda. At the moment I am drinking lots of water, but once in a while I need to drink something with taste. I have been drinking juices but now I hear that they are not very healthy either. Basically I am looking for something healthy to drink once or twice a day that’s not tea or water. Anyone have any suggestions?

Those crystal light packages… they come in different flavors and they go right into your water bottle. sooooo much better than drinking just water alone sometimes… .They make a kool aid kind too but I didn’t like those, and I didn’t like the off brand that tries to do the crystal light stuff.. I love the pink lemonade and regular lemonade…
And yes Juice is really just empty calories and should be drank with moderation. Some usually tell you how many oz equals a fruit.. There are light versions of OJ and less sugar kind, but I couldn’t get used to them..
Diet drinks and sodas are also an alternative, but can also make you feel bloated and caffinated…
100% juices are very healthy. V-8 and V-8 fusion are affordable juices for optimal health. Avoid V-8 splash which contains too much sugar. Make your own juice. Read labels carefully. Health food stores offer a wide variety of healthy alternatives. Have a great year and may you succeed with your weight loss.
Water is always the best, if anything tried some flavored water from different brands!
The fresh fruit juices are really composed of the purest distilled water, flavored by dainty natural elements. Grapefruit juice and orange juice, when freshly made just before serving, taste much better than stale, canned or frozen preparations. Water-drinking would hardly be required if the diet were balanced with three glasses of fruit juices a day and one or two glasses of raw vegetable juices a day.
The raw vegetable juices should really become more popular than they are at present. Today only a minority know about the importance and real value of raw vegetable juice. Every home should own a vegetable-juice extractor. It is just as important as any of the popular kitchen gadgets such as a toaster or a broiler.
Diluted fruit juice beverages may be served hot in demitasse cups with banquet meals. Hot lemonade, sweetened with honey and flavored with a little grape juice or cherry juice or strawberry juice, tastes better than coffee in demitasse.
Peppermint tea is also a pleasant and wholesome health beverage. Dry or fresh peppermint leaves may be brewed for a few minutes and served as a mealtime beverage.
diet soda, fat free milk, green tea sweetened with splenda, and this one specific orange juice (tropicana with FIBER)
