Instead of soda I’ve been starting to drink fruit juice- orange,
pineapple, and orange- mango. I’ll usually finish a pint at work every
day. The brand I drink says it’s 100% juice and has added vitamins and
minerals, but I notice it’s got a lot of sugar. Is this still a good
replacement for soda?
..................................................................................
 Good
for you for switching out soda. That’s a step in the right direction.
Although fruit juice is delicious and has a bunch of vitamins and
minerals, I would not drink it very often due to its sugar content.
If you’re trying to
lose
weight, I’d suggest you don’t drink fruit juice at all. Even though
the label says 100% fruit juice and there’s no sugar added, as you
correctly pointed out, even it still contains a boatload of sugar.
In fact, the pint (16 ounces) you’re downing each day contains about 55
grams of total carbs with about 40- 50 coming from pure sugar. Ouch.
You’re much better off drinking non- caloric beverages when on a diet.
Save the calories for eating whole foods and you’ll be better off.
As far as whole fruit is concerned, unless you’re on an ultra strict
diet, you can still have a small amount of certain fruits like berries.
Berries contain antioxidants that provide a myriad of benefits. They
also contain fiber, which slows down the digestion of carbohydrate.
Here’s a list of some other beneficial
fruits to eat while dieting down.

What do you think of that diet where you eat certain foods based on your blood
type?
I’ve always been told to get a six- pack you need to do a lot of abs
work with high reps. Would you agree?
Do I need supplements to lose weight?
Is it possible to lose weight and gain muscle at the same time?
I’ve got fat located in
the area of my body where my arm meets my shoulder, and I can’t get rid
of it. Are there any exercises in particular that would help improve
that? Or what about any spot reducing supplements?
I know I should be having
some protein and carbs after a weights workout, but what about after
cardio? I've heard that you should wait 2 hours before eating.
You mentioned the benefits of scheduling a "cheat meal" into your eating
program at least once per week. Is there a best time to eat a cheat
meal?
Should I be counting my grams of fat, sugar, and calories?
What can I do to flatten my lower abs? I've been
doing crunches and hanging leg raises for the last year, but nothing
seems to help.
