Quit the unhealthy drinks and lose 25 lbs in 6 weeks!
I told Bill to start with beverages because between soda, coffee drinks, smoothies, and booze, he was sipping away more than a quarter of his daily calories. He’s not the only one. A study from the University of North Carolina found that we consume 450 calories a day from beverages, nearly twice as many as 30 years ago! This increase amounts to an extra 23 pounds a year that we’re forced to work off—or carry around with us.
Bold is mine, and that sentence in itself seems to explain America’s obesity problem. I’ve certainly noticed that when I reduce my soda intake the weight comes off much more easily. I’m reaching for my bottled water as I type. Perhaps no more soda until I take off 10 lbs, that doesn’t seem like such an overwhelming New Years resolution does it?
