The best drink is probably Yoli (10 cal.). It is the next best thing to drinking plain water. Better than juices, and those unhealthy energy drinks. Take a look at the ingredients and tell me there’s something better. Yoli is definitely the drink for me and my kids. I have had enough of the price war on these high energy drinks, to include the new fad, Efusjon.

for all you beer haters – yes it has calories in it, miller lite my beer of choice about 105 per 12 oz. I drink atleast a 12 pk or more a week. Yet I maintain my weight and a low body fat % ( around 8% 4 weeks ago). How? I run between 4 and 7 miles a day. It’s all about moving your body. You can drink what the hell you want to drink, you just can’t be a fat a$$ and sit around!!!!! heck you can get fat eating fruit if you never move your body…I’m just saying.

I try to drink mostly water. On occasion I will drink diet soda but it always gives me a headache. I like buying those 10 cal Crystal Light packets and adding them to my water because there are so many flovers.

I quite drinking diet sodas and lost weight, plus my memory came back due to the effects of Splenda. I like drinking H2O with a splash of lemon or orange juice.

Sorry but Vodka is not low cal – it has about 98 calories in 1.5 oz serving size.

Personally I’d rather run a little extra on the weekends and enjoy a good hearty Belgium beer than drink the low carb version of beer.

And I agree with what MANGLER said. Very many people over estimate how many calories they burn through exercise and under estimate what they eat and drink.

My new favorite drink is Efusjon- the all natural energy drink with no caffeine or chemicals. Can’t find it in stores only online:

“Fruit juices. Full of nutrients but relatively high in calories per ounce. I make a 50-50 mix of orange juice with sparkling water to cut calories and get some good nutrition.”

This is a great idea to cut the calories in fruit juice but still get the nutrition. It would be like having a sparkling orange juice or cranberry. Maybe in the evening, throw in a bit of vodka (low cal)!

Don’t tell that to the throngs at every Starbucks though.
However, what I’ve found that most people never do when “dieting” (even though the word is used wrong these days) is that they never actually find an accurate # of calories they burn in a day. You may be using 2,000, or 1,500, or if exercising 3,500.
Also, the way the body works, you can have a bad day, or a bad meal and be just fine. Your system won’t really even notice if you gorge yourself one time. Its the general patterns over time that have the real effects. Losing ½ to 1 lb per week is about where the safe limits are to sustainable weight loss. Anything more and you will likely just gain it all back as soon as you finish your perceived diet or cave to that dessert.
