^^ to add to the fruit juice comment... they really are loaded with sugar, even the 100% juice varieties. I don't do it with my orange juice, but I will generally water down (1/4 of the glass) my juice when I drink it. Also, I don't drink more than 1 glass in a couple of hours... and usually after walking or exercise to replenish glucose stores. Since there isn't much else in the juice for you to digest, the sugars are quickly and easily absorbed and are good for glycogen replenishment, while the whole fruit has good fibers in it that allow the sugars to be absorbed slower which makes them good for eating before exercise when you need energy.
