Drink Only Water and tea

[suzeluze]

I noticed that a lot of drinks have a lot of calories and sugar. If you stick to tea and water, you will save a lot of calories and lose weight faster.

Yes this is so true! also don't add any sugar or cream to your tea. If you have to add something add non fat milk and or splenda. Also drinking a lot of green tea they say can expedite weight loss.

[jannet]

Yeah absolutely true! Drinking too much water and liquid juices can be effective to lose your weight and get fit...

A lot of herbal teas taste so good that you don't need to add any type of sweetener to them.

Also, teas that contain things like peppermint, ginger, or fennel not only taste great, but they also help with healthy digestion. When your digestive system is functioning at its best, you feel better and you lose weight more effectively.

Also, you can mix it up, drinking the teas hot in the winter, and you can make iced teas out of them in the summertime.

I like tea and water and all, but it just doesn't cut it to get me going in the morning. Is coffee alright as long as I don't add any sugar or milk/cream to it and drink it black?

water

I will just go for water.

This is so true. I just read the other day that the average American drinks up to 450 calories a day. That's crazy! If that person were to give up all those drinks in favor of water, he/she would lose a pound a week without changing anything else in their diet.

Just watch people in a restaurant one day. I see it all the time. They will order refill after refill of pop, juice, iced tea, or whatever. I am like people please you just drank 600 calories in one sitting and you have not even had your meal yet!

You're right! Free refills make the situation even worse, since there aren't any financial consequences to getting more. They really are an automatic way to completely ruin your diet. That amount of soda or other sugary or sweetened beverage is far too much for a week, let alone a single day.

When I'm eating at a restaurant where they offer free refills, I just remind myself that when I order water, I don't have to pay for the first one, either!

Yes, Drinking water can be successful to lose your weight and for get fit.

It is very true. By drinking water you can lose your weight also it helps to keep your skin and body healthy.

You can also drink fresh fruit juice that has been heavily watered down. I don't mean fruit juice that has "ingredients" in it. I mean the ones where you look at the label, and all it says is "orange juice" or "apple juice" and nothing else.

I add half a glass of juice to half a glass of water and have that as my sweet treat after supper! It stops me from craving a dessert.

[jkate456]

I think instead of tea, green tea is better option. it is healthy and keeps you refreshing.

Not just for losing weight, but water is a direct, simple and effective way of caring for your body. Two-thirds of the body consists of water, and it is therefore crucial for our survival. We lose 1.7 liters (3pints) of water a day, mainly from the kidneys as urine, but also from the skin and lungs.

drinking water means you are talking about water at room temperature, then it is good for weight loss
but if you are taking chilled water then you may gain weight (My weight was gained from 65Kg to 68Kg) I used to drink 4-5ltrs of chilled water for 90 days weight loss program.
