Fruit Juice
Juices do have a lot of sugar, so I always buy the bottles that say 'No Sugar Added', but I read in a magazine that drinks are actually how a lot of people gain weight. For example, sodas, iced teas, lemonades, juices, etc. I like having apple juice & orange juice. I'm not sure what to do about the whole sugar thing. Would it be okay to have a cup or two of juice a day?? My throat is always dry between meals & I dislike having water all the time. Any suggestions?? Oh & I also drink milk regularly. Thanks!!

well, i think that they're saying juices make people gain weight because people drink them without even thinking about how much their drinking.
like soda, for example. most of them come in 20oz bottles, which is 2.5 servings. 120 calories per serving. so you pretty much drank 300 calories. you probably could've eaten something with that. even a sandwhich!
so basically, i think thats what they mean when they say that.
drinking juices is fine. one-three per day though! and with the milk, just make sure its Low-fat or skim. because whole isn't that great, its just fatty.
hope i helped :]

fruit juice once or twice a day is very good for you, especially if it's mostly water anyway. my big reason for answering this question is that you've been drinking milk. consider this, milk (and dairy, for that matter) is used to fatten up a baby cow. there's no other reason for its existence. It's probably not the best thing for you to be drinking "regularly". If you're worried about calcium, consider green vegetables like kale and broccoli and even soymilk.

It is very true that having pop and iced teas, etc. helps you gain weight. I don't think its wrong to have a glass or two of apple/orange juice a day. The negative effects of the sugar actually are outweighed by the good effects of the fruit.
Although you don't like drinking water all the time- you really should. You should be having eight 8 oz. glasses of water per day.. that's 64 oz. You don't have to drink only water though- but your body needs at least those 8 glasses.
And I've heard that you should have 24 oz of milk every 24 hours. This is especially true for girls- because they are more apt to get osteoporosis later in life- and they need strong bones.. Drinking milk helps.
Kudos to you! [I feel like Camille (WoahThereBabe) has got me caught onto saying this!]

Yes- that is fine. As long as you arent having like 5 glasses a day. Just make sure you try to stay active, to prevent that sugar from being stored in your body.
Good luck!
