I am normally not much of a juice person - but I really like tomato juice when I am dieting. A big glass of tomato juice and some nuts or a piece of low-fat mozzarella cheese makes a nice lunch/snack. (And I can get large cans for 99 cents at the dollar store, too.)

Tomato juice stables blood sugar. I always carry a small can or two of tomato or V8 juice in my car for those times when I miss a meal and am feeling funny. When I'm at school, I keep a small can in my purse to drink between classes. It really seems to keep me going.
At home I add garlic powder and what other spices, and make V8... I have even took a can of tomato paste and add water like you would frozen juice. Taste great. kddid
Both V-8 and tomato juice have alot of sodium. If you're prone to having swollen ankles, hands, & puffy eye lids, due to an over indulgence in salty items, you might want to stick to the small cans of these juices. Or if you're on a low salt diet, due to high blood pressure, you might want to look for the low sodium versions, or make your own.
