ABS DIET POWER TIP
You can do without sugary juices and sodas. For a flavorful and refreshing beverage, squeeze
wedges of lemon, lime, tangerine, or pink grapefruit into a pitcher of ice water. If you plan
ahead, you can make the ice cubes using water with a splash of 100 percent white grape or
apple juice and bits of real fruit. Stir in some fresh mint or grated ginger to complete this low-
calorie, virgin cocktail.
