I'm new to the plan and see that you typically drink a glass of either vegetable cocktail (V8) or tomato juice in the am. I can't drink either, is there an alternative??

I don't care for any tomato based drinks at all and so I just don't use those. The reason behind the tomato juice is to get veggies into you. I incorporate vegetables into my breakfast without using tomato juice - I'll put them in an omlet, or even eat them as a side dish.

However, if you can't get any veggies into you in the morning, then just try to get some as part of your morning snack. Just do try to get 4.5 cups of veggies a day. The tomato juice is not necessary.

Welcome, chowlover200!


A lot of us dislike the veggie juices and just skip them--myself being one of them. If you haven't already, try our homemade FAQ list for this and other topics, as well:
