    Thanks everyone for the advice. I feel a little bit better knowing that I am not the only one that goes over. And I will monitor the juice, sometimes I just like something with a little more flavor than water....lol

    Juice isn't really healthy, it's just sugar with a few tiny fruit benefits. If you're going over on sugar then cut the juice first. Sugar is sugar, the source doesn't matter, fruit cake soda. Fruit at least has a lot fiber and micronutrients per gram of sugar.

    Milk is a nutritional bargain. I'd give up the fruit juice and replace it with whole fruit, but milk provides so much for so little.

    agree^.

    Sugars that aren't natural, such as in fruit, aren't good for our bodies. They can cause yeast infections, bloat, and fat build-up. It's a big struggle for me, too, as I'm a big tea drinker and LOVE sugar in my tea!


    Fruit isn't natural? What?

    Sugar is sugar.

    That being said, keep your calorie and macronutrient totals in check, use some common sense with food selection, and beyond that I wouldn't worry about sugar.

    you shouldn't worry about the sugars from the fruit but definitely from the milk and fruit juice.

    Why?
