7. Ignoring the sugar and calories in beverages

Do you know how much sugar your preferred beverage contains? Most common beverages contain at least 40 g of sugar! This is 2-3 times the recommended daily intake of food, and that’s only from one drink! The hunger regions in your brain do not respond to liquid calories in the same way that they do to calories from food, so beverages like soda, fruit juice, beer, and wine are also full of calories and carbohydrates that can make you feel hungry.Drink water instead, please! Try flavoring plain water with lemon wedges, your preferred berries, or mint leaves if you can’t bear how bland it is by itself. Green tea without sugar is another excellent beverage choice.
