Diet Coke Nutrition Facts Drink Your Way to a Sweaty Sexy Summer Body.
Wait! Don't break out the Bahama Mamas just yet. What you drink has a huge impact on your waistline. In fact, the cure for a huge waistline might be to make a few changes in your eating and drinking habits.
No More Soft Drinks
Whether you call it pop, soda, soda pop, or just a coke, it's really really bad for you. There's absolutely no nutritional value in it, and while it's packed with sinfully delicious sugary calories, it does very little to fill you up. Learn this phrase, "No thanks, I don't really like pop." It's a lifesaver.
Green Smoothies
Like soft drinks, green smoothies pack some calories in the mix. Unlike soft drinks, they are loaded with all kinds of minerals, nutrients, and antioxidants that your body loves. Don't be intimidated by the color. Green smoothies are actually pretty tasty. Making a green smoothie is a snap.
Get a blender, some greens, and some berries or fruit, a banana, and some water. You'll want about a 50/50 mix of fruit and greens. Blend the fruit, banana, and water. Then put in the greens and blend until it looks nice and smooth. Then drink up!
Water
Water is the diet supercharger. It revs up your metabolism. It cleans out a lot of your body's toxins. It keeps you from confusing hunger with thirst which can prevent eating binges. If you (and your bladder) can stand it, you should down 8 8 oz. glasses every day. The frequent bathroom visits will stop within a week or so.
Green Tea
Green tea is just so good for you, I'm going to start listing the reasons why
-kills cancer cells while leaving healthy tissue alone
-antioxidants help the immune system
-kills germs that cause plaque
-boosts metabolism, burning more calories
-greatly lowers the risk of heart disease
Red Wine
I had to include at least one form of booze! They never taught us this in school, but a glass a day keeps the doctor away. Red wine contains reservatrol which combats a lot of the negative effects of consuming too much fat, including weight gain. Don't go trying to get a reservatrol buzz on Friday night. The negative effects of binge drinking far outweigh the positive effects of reservatrol.
