Making eating correctly a Lifestyle Part 6 - Drink 0 calories...Yes...thats right...0.00

Ok this is the way it has to be. Drinks are KILLER.

1. They have many calories - gourmet coffee + all the extras... takes an hour of jogging to match the calorie intake.

2. The calories are not noticed - gulp gulp gulp down the drink goes... jiggle jiggle jiggle all over the belly.

3. The calories are usually nutritionless SUGAR - dry up a can of coke and see for yourself the sugar thats left.

Thats why we must strive to drink 0 calories. Yup... NADA. We are conditioned to believe that all meals must have some kind of tasty drink. Get over it quick...the remaining choices are WATER (oh when was the last time i drank that?) and Unsweetened teas (asians have oolong/chinese/chrysenthemum/green) those you make from tea leaves/bags not the sweet kind you get in cans.

Well that certainly limits our choices (yup dd..d..d...d.uuuHH). Of all the 7 parts, this one may have one of the biggest impacts to weight loss with the least habit modification. You don't have to cook anything, or find anything, or bring anything along to work. Just drink WATER! BTW more water is quite amazing. Joint lubrication, better skin (yup don't pretend that doesnt matter haha), better performance and less cramping durign training, saving money (its free!) haha.
