Never Drink Your Calories

It's great to be back. I want to share with you a wonderful tip I recently read online about losing weight.

We all are looking for a quick fix when it comes to weight loss. Well I have a tip that will help you shave off at least 200 calories a day without you even realizing it.

200 calories???? Yes. Meaning if you just do this tip alone you can lose about 1.5 lbs without a change in exercise or eating program just as long as you're already at a caloric deficit( Taking in less calories than your body needs = which equals weight loss, generally).

Stop DRINKING YOUR CALORIES!!!

What am I talking about? On average if you're drinking a can of soda, that's already 150 calories. Soda has no nutritional value what so ever and will only hurt you in the long run if your goal is losing weight or just feeling healthy.

What about fruit juices you might ask? Well again even juices can often add up to 150-200 calories a glass. Your best bet would be to have the actual fruit itself as oppose to the drink. For example, drinking apple juice has ZERO amount of fiber. But if you go and eat an apple you will have between 2-3 grams of fiber.

Are you getting my drift?

Think about how if you just drank water instead of drinking soda, coffee, juice that you could lose an additional 12-15 lbs. Isn't that amazing?

Are you ready to make the switch to eating fruits and not drinking your calories? I am.
