Weight loss – drink guide

Posted by prsite at 07:16


When most people reckon about weight loss, they automatically reckon about food. What can & can’t they eat. But one area that always gets overlooked is drinks & fluids. Now whilst lots of diets will advise you to drink more fluids during this time, they rarely advise on which fluids to drink.

Of work water is always the number one recommendation: low in sugar, calories & 100% natural, there is nothing you cannot gain from water which isn't positive.

But other fluids, will get called 'no, no's' with no clear indication as to why they're not allowed.

For this reason we have chosen to explore all our favourite drinks, to ascertain which ones you can still take whilst you are trying to lose weight.

And to do this, we have gathered all their calorie readings, so that you can see exactly what you are drinking in one cup/glass.

Coffee with whole milk (220ml cup): 15.4 calories with 0.9g of fat, 1.1g of carbohydrates and protein

Coke (330ml can): 139 calories and 33g of carbohydrates

Orange Juice (200 ml glass): 88 calories, 19.8g carbohydrates and 1.2g protein

Tea with whole milk (100ml): 10.8 calories, 1.5g carbohydrates, 1.2g protein and 0.2g fat.

Half a pint of beer: 70-110 calories depending on the type

125ml wine: 85-120 calories

Spirits (50ml) – whiskey, gin or vodka: 120-140 calories

But as you can see, even 5 cups of tea can mount up to 54 calories. Calories which you've ingested without a single thought.

and these are a sample of the calories you could be consuming every day without even realising it.

So what can you take from the above figures? The answer is simple.

To effectively lose weight you require to be aware of everything, even what you drink.

Saying this they aren't telling you to cut out any five of these from your lives, but to drink them in moderation. Especially soft drinks & alcohol. they may taste nicer, but they taste nicer for a reason.
