Fruit and Vegetable Juice

It's easy to confuse thirst with hunger, but chugging liters of water can get pretty boring. Avoid sugary sodas and processed fruit juice, and reach for a low-sodium tomato or vegetable juice instead. Buy little cartons to keep on your desk, and get your hit of vitamins and minerals while also hydrating yourself.
