5 Low calorie drink options

The secret to losing weight isn’t just watching what’s on your plate; it’s also about watching what’s in your glass.  Cooldrinks, fruit juices, and energy drinks can be loaded with added sugars that can mess up your weight-loss plan. Here are five simple ways to drink up without packing on the kilograms.

1. Water

Water is the single best choice drink for effective weight loss. Think water is boring? Try adding fresh lemon slices, lime, cucumber, and even a slice of tomato to add flavour without adding many calories.

2. Vegetable juice

Vegetable juice is an excellent way to get the fibre and nutrients your body needs to fuel your weight loss. The vegetables will keep you fuller longer and the tangy flavour will keep your taste buds happy.

3. Tea

Green tea has been proven to help boost metabolism and speed up weight loss. Try it hot or iced with a little honey (or not!) for a low-sugar sweet drink. Don’t forget black and oolong teas, too! Both are filled with antioxidants, which can help rid your body of toxins.

4. Black coffee

Coffee has been shown to stimulate thermogenesis, which heats up the body and boosts metabolism. Just be careful about what you add to your coffee - stick to skimmed milk and very little sugar.

5. Skimmed milk

Milk is an excellent source of lean protein, vitamin D, and calcium that can help build your muscles and keep your bones strong. Opt for low-fat or skimmed milk for all of the vitamins without the added fat..
