Weight Loss Tip: Don’t drink your calories!
No matter if you are doing the HCG diet protocol, south beach, Atkins, Weight Watchers, whatever — one thing will be consistent…
DON’T DRINK YOUR CALORIES!!!
As a person who rarely drinks water and usually prefers a lovely Mt. Dew, I can tell you this for sure. Drinking your calories is a complete waste. That average soda of yours is essentially a meal. That diet soda? Sure no calories, but not really great for you. Trust me on this one as someone who has had 4 instances of kidney stones and one surgery — soda is NOT good for you.
Whatever your weight loss plan is, I can tell you that drinking AT LEAST a half a gallon of water will make a HUGE difference. In the days that I forget to drink water, I remain stagnant in weight loss regardless of how little I ate and saved in my plan. When I drink a half to a full gallon of water throughout the day, I am much more effective at seeing immediate and gradual weight loss when used in conjunction with my plan.
So my tip? I like to *see* what I consume. So I use bottles of water from Costco. I make sure I try to drink 3 in the morning, 3 at lunch and 3 in the evening. This would be a gallon of water.
Hope this helps! Drink that water!
