Who’s ready to lose weight quickly & easily?
If you’re like most people, you’ve probably heard of all sorts of diets promising to help you lose weight without much effort. The truth is, your body works on a balancing equation of energy in versus energy out. Simply stated, if you want to lose weight you must consume less calories (energy in) than your body uses (energy out).
But what if you have already looked closely at the foods you are eating? Most often, people talk about their foods when they are looking to lose weight and forget to look at the beverages they drink. By simply switching out your daily sugary drink for water, the average person can lose up to 15 pounds in one year.
Check out our tips for drinking less sugar, healthy drink recipes, take the pledge to drink more water and start to Rethink your Drink!
5 Tips to Less Sugar
Be Juice Smart
Choose 100% fruit juice, with no added sugar. Limit juice servings to 4oz or less for kids.
Skip the Soda
Drinking one can of soda a day can lead to gaining up to 15 pounds a year. Replace soda with water to help achieve a healthy weight.
Drink Water
Keep a refillable water bottle with you. Try adding fresh fruit slices for flavor.
Know the Hidden Sugars
Added sugar has many names, like “Corn Syrup”, “High Fructose Corn Syrup”, and “Fructose”. Check food labels and watch for hidden sugars.
Avoid Sports Drinks
Sports drinks sound healthy but are loaded with added sugar. Refresh with water when doing sports.
