Flavorful, Low-calorie Drinks
Plain water is always good, but water infused with fruits and vegetables is more interesting. Cut up a lemon or cucumber and put it in your water, or make ice cubes with some flavoring in them.
If you’re not a hot tea drinker, try cold tea with lemon or a cinnamon stick. “Not only are these beverages low-carb, they can also help fill you up so you don’t crave other foods,” Powers says.
Melon or Berries
Did you know that 1 cup of either of these has just 15 grams of carbs? “It’s a little more expensive, but it’s a healthy treat packed with nutrients and fiber, and it’s a little bit sweet,” Powers says.
For a different twist, mix the melon or berries with plain yogurt, or put them in ice cubes.
