What parts of your lifestyle are making you put weight on? To lose weight you must know what foods, drinks or lifestyle is causing the weight gain. If you're not exercising, this is one way to gain weight. Being active helps increase your metabolism which will help you lose weight.
Nutrition is another very important part of losing weight and you will need to look at all the different aspects of your diet to see where you are making those unhealthy choices. Sure we look at the foods we should be eating like fruits and vegetables, but what often gets overlooked when it comes to nutrition is what drinks we consume.
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 healthy drinks.
Water - The best drink around and one that you cannot go wrong with drinking. It will hydrate your body, quench your thirst, while not adding any calories into your diet. If you are going to drink your tap water then get it checked for anything that is unhealthy. If your tap water is not good enough, then try bottled water or even using some type of water filter on your tap water.
Flavored water can contain sugar, which have no nutritional value. Sugar free flavor packets or fresh fruit juice are good choices.
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.
These are the bad drinks.
Soda - This is a bad drink even if it tastes so good. Soda has a lot of calories and sugars that have no nutritional value and will hurt your weight loss plan. Take a look at the nutrition label on a can of soda the next time you go shopping, and you will be surprised just how many calories are in a can.
Alcohol Beverages
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.
