When you go to the gas station to pick up something to drink you grab a juice because its from fruit, right? How can it be bad? WELL, Check the nutrition facts my friend! Its more than likely jam packed with unnecessary sugars! And those will be doing you no good in the long wrong, especially for your stomach. One of the largest contributing factors to stomach fat IS sugar!
When I am grocery shopping, or even just grabbing something to drink, I try to stick with foods and drinks with less then 3g of sugar. Its said that you shouldn’t go over 15g of sugar a day but sometimes that may not be realistic. As long as you choose foods that are sugar free or low in sugar (LESS THEN 3G) you should be golden!
I would even suggest going as far as in taking more veggies than fruits because even just plain old fruit has sugar! Granted, it IS healthier sugar than what you would ingest from drinking fruit juice but it STILL can cause more tummy pudge then you would prefer! (Though it IS still important to eat your fruits, ya’ll! Apple a day!)
Do YOU have any sugar free/low sugar alternatives??
