If
you think there is no easy way to lose weight
- think again. The easiest weight loss method
could have been staring you right in the face
all this time. Here it goes: stop drinking
soft drinks. Drink water instead.
Dumping
the soft drinks from your diet will result
in dropping some serious pounds. Think about
it:
*
A can of coke packs in 150 calories.
*
Just 3 cans of coke add up to 450 calories.
Now,
you are in for a shock: a cheeseburger sets
you back by only 360 calories, which is less
than those 3 cans of coke. Now, what would
you rather have: a warm juicy cheeseburger
or the sugary water from the can?
If
you currently drink 3 soda cans a day, you
can save 450 daily calories by switching to
plain water. Water has zero calories. Let's
do the math: since one pound of fat equals
to 3500 calories, you will lose roughly one
pound per week just by leaving the coke behind.
Yes,
you've heard it right - you can lose a pound
of fat every week while you eat as much as
you normally do. No dieting, no starving -
don't change a thing about what you eat. The
only thing you change is what you drink.
Now,
let's do some more math, which gets better
and better. 1 lb per week equals 4 pounds
per month. Multiply 4 pounds by 12 months,
and we get 48 lbs of ugly fat per year!
Unbelievable,
huh?
Calorie
savings on drinks provide you with yet another
advantage: you can now eat more and still
lose weight. For example, if you substituted
3 cans of soda every day with water, you have
450 calories to play with. If you eat an extra
piece of chocolate that's worth 200 calories,
you still save 250 calories and lose 24 lbs
per year.
I
can now almost hear you say - "Well,
Melanie, what if I don't drink 3 cans of coke
a day? I only drink one soft drink for lunch!"
Good for you! Now, consider this: if you swap
this lunchtime coke with water, you will lose
16 pounds per year. How's that for a freebie
weight loss?
Since
soft drinks don't make you full, it is very
easy to dump them. Drinks are "liquid
calories", "empty calories"
- calories that are just not worth it. Soda
drinks have no nutritional value - just useless
sugars and chemicals that rot your teeth,
make you gain weight and don't even fill you
up.
Take
advantage of the easiest weight loss tip on
Earth - eat your calories, don't drink them.
