By Walt Jensen


Ever think about which parts of your lifestyle are keeping you from your desired wright? In order to drop some pounds, you will need to know what drinks, food and parts of your lifestyle are causing you weight problems. One way to keep your weight under control is exercise.

Nutrition is another very important part of losing weight and you will need to look at all the different aspects of your diet to see where you are making those unhealthy choices. Sure we look at the foods we should be eating like fruits and vegetables, but what often gets overlooked when it comes to nutrition is what drinks we consume.

If you are drinking fluids that contain calories, then your weight loss plan will be affected. You will need to know what the healthy types of drinks are and what the unhealthy drinks are.

Here are the healthy drinks.

The best liquid is water because it will hydrate you, quench your thirst and not add calories. If you decide to drink your tap water, then get it tested. If your tap water in not good, then drink bottled water, or use a filter on your tap water.

Be careful with any flavored water, as it might contain sugar. Fresh fruit juice or sugar free flavor packets are a good choice, but do not drink anything with sugar.

Drinking milk is a good choice, because it has plenty of vitamin D and calcium. Milk will help a growing body and also adults are health conscious. You should avoid the flavored drinks, because they have sugar in them, which is not good for weight loss.

These are the bad drinks.

Soda - This is a bad drink even if it tastes so good. Soda has a lot of calories and sugars that have no nutritional value and will hurt your weight loss plan. Take a look at the nutrition label on a can of soda the next time you go shopping, and you will be surprised just how many calories are in a can.

Alcohol

If you have a beer, sure it might taste good, but it does bring with it more calories into your diet. Wine has a lot of calories, but it has antioxidant properties that are good for the human heart. You need to drink wine in moderation though. Remember that what drinks you consume can have a big effect on your weight loss plan.
