Drinking Your Calories

It seems that sipping on your calories might lead to weight gain. So, soft drinks, fruit juices, and other types of beverages shouldn’t be consumed on a regular basis. According to nutritionists, your brain doesn’t count the calories that come from beverages, meaning that your body will require the exact same amount of calories to complete its daily tasks.

Rather than drinking fruit juices, consume the whole fruit. When consuming whole foods, your body processes the information when chewing and swallowing, allowing it to let the hunger hormone know that it’s time to settle. So, ditch the soft drinks and fruit juices.
