I was talking to a dietician who told me that people should really stay away from juices. Instead of drinking orange juice, eat an orange. It's way better for you. She is someone I trust. Feet firmly on the ground. When I started on my weight loss campaign, she told me not to get crazy. She actually said, "If you get cravings to eat 5 cookies, only eat 3".

I drink water, milk - 1% fine filtered (mmmmmmm), and tea. Often I drink water and tea at the same time. ;)

I've never been a fan of soft drinks. Even in my much much younger days, I didn't drink soft drinks. I did however, from time to time, drink 'mix'.

I did become terribly addicted recently to Werther's Originals, but my dentist told me to lay off or he'd have to kill me. I switched to Werther's sugarless, and they are actually very good believe it or not (normally I hate fake sugar in things because of the aftertaste, but these are great - caramel mint, caramel coffee, and regular).
