    Fruit, fruit, fruit, and more fruit! Bonus...the sugars in most fruits are considered "complex" carbs, so they take longer to break down to glucose. While this benefit holds true for whole fruit, not so much for fruit juice which lacks the fiber present in the whole fruit and often comes with added simple sugar; when I do drink juice, it is normall freshly squeezed orange with pulp.

    I've personally found fruit to be a nutritious adventure in weening myself off of sodas and candies...I actually haven't had either in about 6 weeks now and I'm not really missing them...oops, I lied...I did have an orange Pelogrino sparkling water the other day, but far less sugar than typical sodas....and I was at a party.
