All sweets are not bad for the record, there are just certain types of sweets that are healthy to do with out.
Sweets that are bad: pastries, candy, soda, some juices (juice your vegetables and eat your fruits), gum, water ice, ice cream
Sweets that are good: fruits, smoothies, roasted nuts, some juices (juices that have vegetables in them), energy bars, sugarless gum, herbal tea, green tea
Note: This list is not complete, ask if you have any questions
For the juices, I would stick to orange juice, hi-c, prunce juice, cranberry juice, any of the v8 juices including the splashes & fusions, apple juice is okay, and other juices that are obviously healthy. If you want to make your own juices make sure that you have a mixture of fruits and vegetables (the fruits always overpower the vegetables).
Rules that you should follow
- When you have an urge for sweets, go for it as long as you pick the good sweets. Your body has the urge for sweets because it needs them.
- Always carry the good sweets with you, so you are less likely to eat the bad.
- Think about your body. Does it need anymore of the wrong things? Is it going to help me reduce my medical bills in this recessions?
- Pay yourself. Cheat every now and then.
I chew trident, sugar less gum, to get rid of my sugar cravings. It is sweet and is very long lasting. I aslo think of the pros and cons of having certain sweets. I know that certain sweets will cause my skin to break out so, I know to stay away from them. I also might not feel like burning it off.

Do you have any questions or concerns?
I have to stay away from sugarless gums they make me do the 'green apple quick stomp" lol Most of them have a laxative affect due to the artificial sweeteners. A bit of baby laxative.
Why do you suggest having fruits and vegetables in your juices?
I suggest having fruits and vegetables in the juices you make so it is easier for you to get the right amount of daily servings you need for both instead of one. The juice fills you up the same way any other juice does. It is just a healthier choice. Besides, if you make juice with just vegetables, it will taste pretty nasty (in my opinion). The fruits give it a sweeter taste and most of the time, it does not taste like it has vegetables in it.
