Cheers To Weight Loss: Drink Up!
Liquid pounds put a damper on any diet–it doesn’t make you full, it doesn’t satisfy your chocolate cravings, it shouldn’t count, right?
Wrong. A simple glass of orange juice sets you back at 122 calories!
Researchers have concluded that we drink 10 percent to 15 percent of our daily calories. Unfortunately, all of those sodas, juices, energy drinks and (gasp!) Starbuck’s do quite the number on our waistlines.
How do I quench my thirst, you might ask? Stay hydrated with water and this fun, low-calorie drink, thanks to Chicago’s Red Eye Weekend Edition. It will satisfy all of your sugary, bubbly, say ahhh beverage cravings!
