7. You’re Drinking the Wrong Beverages
Keep your beverages simple. Juices are high in calories. Dilute them with some carbonated water for a tasty, lower calorie treat. Pay attention to calorie counts on products at gourmet coffee shops. They are often high calorie beverages. At fast food restaurants, stay away from milkshakes. They often contain more calories than you need to consume in an entire day.
Avoid drinking sodas and other drinks that contain artificial sweeteners. Studies show that people who drink artificial sweeteners lose weight at slower rates than those who do not consume them. Alcoholic beverages contain empty calories. Both alcohol and coffee can cause you to retain fluid, resulting in weight gain.
Instead of these beverages, fill up on lots of water each day. It well help you to feel full, keep you hydrated, and flush toxins from your body.
