Do you drink too many calories?
When it comes to weight loss, all calories count. Here are a few easy ways to scale back your beverages: 1. Switch to low-fat or fat-free milk. 2. Choose water instead of juices and sodas. 3. Perk up plain water with a splash of juice or a twist of lemon or lime. 4. Consider alcohol a treat — limit yourself to a glass of wine or a cocktail only once in a while.
