How To Lose Weight, Calories Hiding In Beverages

How To Lose Weight, Calories Hiding In

Beverages



If you are thinking about how to lose weight, calories hiding in beverages can play havoc with your weight loss efforts. Even fruit juices must be limited as they are normally very high in calories. Eat the whole fruit you need the fiber!


By cutting out soft drinks you are saving about 136 calories per drink, you will be shocked to know that a normal soda drink has about 10 teaspoons sugar in it. It is a frightening thought. All this sugar places a tremendous load on your pancreas as it tries to cope with all that sugar. Think of what this will do to your weight.


Unfortunately the diet variations are not a better option. It is true that they contain hardly any calories, but they disrupt your body's natural ability to curb your appetite, as was found by studies done at the Purdue University. So you can end up making losing weight even more difficult as you end up being hungry all the time. In the long run your body will not even register that donut you have just consumed.


For good weight loss it is best to stick to lots of water, homemade iced tea without sugar and black coffee with no sugar. Water is always the best choice if you want to lose weight.


21 Percent of our daily calorie intake comes from drinks and it can really turn into a calorie trap.


Have a look at these, for the normal portion sizes:


  • Milk shake: 598 calories

  • Flavored milk: 280 calories

  • The average sports drink: 150 calories

  • Soft drink: 136 calories

  • The average iced tea (not homemade, bought ones): 106 calories

  • Fruit juice: 125

  • Frappè latte: 100


So, if you are thinking about how to lose weight, calories hidden in those drinks must be kept in mind.
