Bad Drinks Can Ruin Your Diet

By Walt Jensen


Have you thought about what parts of your lifestyle are making you gain weight? You need to know what drinks, food and your lifestyle are the weight gain culprits. Exercising is a good way to drop some pounds, because being active increases your metabolism and that will help you lose weight.

Having a balanced diet will help you lose weight, so look at what types of food you consume and see if you are making healthy food choices. We all look at eating fruits and vegetables, but take a close look at what type of beverages you drink.

If you are drinking fluids that contain calories, then your weight loss plan will be affected. You will need to know what the healthy types of drinks are and what the unhealthy drinks are.

Here are the good drinks.

The first is water. It is very good for the body because it will hydrate you, quench your thirst, without adding any calories into your diet. If you want to drink your tap water, then first have it tested for anything harmful. So if your tap water in not good enough, then bottled water, or even using a filter on your tap water will make good drinking water.

Do not drink any flavored waters, because they might contain sugar, which will add more calories into your diet. Sugar free flavor packets or fresh fruit juice are good drink options.

Another healthy beverage is milk, because it contains a lot of Vitamin D and calcium. Milk is a good choice for bodies that are growing and health conscious adults also. Do not drink the flavored milks, as they contain sugars.

Take a look at the bad drinks.

Drinking soda is a bad drink even though it tastes good. Soda contains sugar, and have no nutritional value. They just have added calories into your diet. When you are shopping, take a look at the nutrition label on a can of soda.

Alcohol

If you have a beer, sure it might taste good, but it does bring with it more calories into your diet. Wine has a lot of calories, but it has antioxidant properties that are good for the human heart. You need to drink wine in moderation though. Remember that what drinks you consume can have a big effect on your weight loss plan.
