Do you drink a lot of sugar sweetened beverages a day ?
Let us know :)


Juicy Weight-Loss Tips

A recent study shows that the more sugar-sweetened beverages you consume  .. 
The more weight you are likely to gain.
Our bodies don't perceive liquid calories and solid calories the same .. 
So we still eat the same amount of food when we consume sugary drinks  ..
Which results in more total calories consumed.

Robert Barnett, editorial director of YourTotalHealth and co-author of Volumetrics Weight Control Plan, and iVillage nutrition expert Madelyn Fernstrom, PhD, CNS, have compiled a few stellar ways to cut back on sugary drinks. One method is to eat your juice. If you're thirsty and craving something sweet and tart, choose fruit. Since it's water-based, fresh fruit will not only quench your thirst, it will also fill you up.

I drink sweet tea but that's about all. I try not to rely on it for all my thirst quench, rotating it with water.

At the most I drink about 4 cups of coffee, so 8 teaspoons of normal sugar.
