What Drinks will Kill Your Diet and Weight Loss Program

By admin, on January 6th, 2012

Losing Body Fat and Reaching your Ideal Body Weight basically comes down to 3 things:

What and/or How You are Eating…
If and/or How You are Moving and Exercising…
What and/or How much You Drink…

In this article… we are going to focus on number 3: “What and How much You are Drinking every day”. Unfortunately most people seem to forget that the liquids we drink every day can have a HUGE impact on our overall weight loss success.

In fact some drinks are so calorie-packed that they can really mess with your body, which ultimately eliminates your chances of losing any weight at all.

What’s even more frustrating is that you might even think these drinks are actually healthy. Many drinks are sold as “HEALTHY” today with misleading labels like “all natural”, “sugar-free”, “low calorie” etc… I’m sure you’ve seen them, they are everywhere trying to trick people into thinking they are making healthier decisions.

Here is a List of Drinks You might think are Healthy, but you should try to avoid if you’re looking to Lose Weight:

100% fruit juice– Surprised? While fruit juice is a better choice than drinking some fake high-fructose corn syrup juice, it still is jam packed with calories per ounce. On top of that, it has almost all of the blood sugar regulating fiber stripped out of the fruit, potentially causing your body to store more fat. Not good when trying to Lose Weight.
It’s much better to just EAT fruit the way nature intended, with all of the fiber intact, and use a whole foods base multi-vitamin/antioxidant supplement to get enough of the super-nutrients contained in fruit juice.
Soy Milk - Most soy products these days are heavily processed with little nutrient density… and this includes most soy milk’s you see at the grocery store. The only soy based food I have found that is in it’s fairly natural state is edamame, though I still eat it maybe once a week, added to a healthy stir fry using walnut, macadamia nut or grapeseed oil.
Cappuccino – avoid those high priced gourmet coffee drinks. While black coffee can help you burn fat, these tempting coffee calorie hogs can hide several hundreds of calories in one drink, and before you know it you might down up to 1000 calories while talking with friends at the coffee shop! Yeah… that’s more insane than trying to do the Insanity Workout. : ))
If You get the craving for one of those gourmet coffee drinks? You can make your own fat-burning version pretty easily:

You’ll start by spooning sugar-free, nonfat vanilla yogurt in an ice cube tray and freezing it into cubes overnight. Then you’ll add them to a blender with a splash of organic fat-free milk or coconut milk, a 1 packet of Healthy Coffee Crystals, and a scoop of Cinch Vanilla Whey Protein Powder and finally sprinkle on some cinnamon to add a little fat-burning kick.

This will taste so good that you’ll swear it isn’t good for you, but Trust Me… IT IS!
Zero Calorie Flavored Waters– Once again, the label fools you with “0-calorie” claims… most of these still use questionable artificial sweeteners that have been show to inhibit fat burning, increase appetite, and block the absorption of nutrients into your body in a variety of studies. This includes all Diet Sodas, Low Calorie and No-Sugar Drinks too… read the label. They most likely have an artificial sweetener in them and you may not even know it.
There are a few “0-calorie” flavored drinks that try that use the all-natural stevia as the sweetener like, Zevia (a stevia based soft drink), and Sobe Lifewater.
Of course… I shouldn’t even have to put this here, but I hope you already know that all Regular Sodas, Kool-aid, Energy Drinks etc… are loaded with Sugar! Whether you’re trying to lose weight or not… you shouldn’t ever drink these. They are sooo bad for you.
Alcohol… mixed drinks with soda, coffee drinks, fruit drinks, regular beer etc. have a lot of calories. If you have to drink something… grab a light beer or a glass of wine and keep it to one.

Now that you know what to avoid, let’s look at some drinks that you should add to your daily diet…

WATER… WATER… WATER… 6-8 Glasses per day! This drink alone will help you lose weight, feel better and more! Make sure it’s Good Clean Water. There is nothing wrong with drinking tap water as long as you use a good water filter. I like the “Get Clean Water Pitcher“… it cleans and filters your tap water better than Britta and Pur and the filters lasts longer too. I like helping the environment as well and adding 6-8 empty water plastic bottles to our landfills everyday is no good either… another reason why I choose the Get Clean Water Pitcher.

Everyone knows about the metabolism boosting effects of green tea… well our Cinch Energy Tea is only 5 calories per serving for the Unsweetened and 15 calories per serving for the Pomegranite. Cinch Energy Tea consists of exotic white, red, and Matcha green teas are delicately harvested and blended to create this extraordinary drink.
