How to drink yourself slim

How to make a small change with huge effect?


The easiest way to lower your daily calorie intake is to wisely choose your drinks.
Drinking mineral water is the best way - no calories at all, detoxifying effect for free, make your skin looks nicer and healthier. So, no worries, just benefits. You cannot go wrong with water.
For you regular tea or coffee watch out for sugar - 2 coffees a day with 2 spoons each equal to 120 calories, which is easily a nice little chocolate passing you by or this extra 15 minutes you have to sweat in your gym. And, be honest, we drink more than 2 teas/coffees per day. So forget the sugar or at least cut it by half and soon you will see benefits.
I am not even talking about hot chocolates, the worst ones really, with often more than 120 calories per cup. Allow them only on treat-once-in-a-while-basis. You will enjoy it more if it is less often.
By the way, switching to herbal teas let you explore huge variety of uncommon tastes, making it easier to swallow. Vanilla, toffee, strawberry - possibilities are endless.
People are also swearing their lives on the benefits of the red tea [bit of earthy taste, I quite like it actually] or green tea. They boost your metabolism, prevent cancer, are anti-aging and so on. Makes for interesting reading and it is worth a try.
So go on and make your tea brake more interesting with different kind every week. It is easy, it's nearly effortless and beats coffee every time.
My new favorite is white tea. It used to be the most expensive, most rare and all, but now you can probably find it close to you with a little bit of effort. Why? It is believed to be the best. And you deserve the best, don't you?
