Juice, chocolate milk, lemonade, bottled fruit flavored drinks, soda pop, hot chocolate, and smoothies, even milk. These beverages all have two things in common: calories and sugar. They supply at least 100 calories per cup (some have more). And nobody drinks just one cup at a time.
So let’s say you drink a 12 –ounce bottle of juice for breakfast, a 32-ounce soda for lunch and an 8-ounce glass of chocolate milk for dinner. You just added more then 700 calories to your day! (It’s possible to lose 1 to1 ½ pounds per week just by cutting calorie laden drinks out of your diet.)

This is a pretty easy tip for me. I think that what I drink the most is good for me.
Here’s what I drink water (a lot) milk (a lot) juice (occasionally) chocolate Milk (once and awhile) soda (rare). If I’m drinking something it’s normal milk or water, I have started to have a juice at work (because in moderation it is good and healthy). I could cut back on the milk…I’m I going to no. I LOVE milk!!!
