I've said it before and I'll say it again. Every 'body's' different (pun intended). Not every one is going to have the same results. With that being said, here's a tip that helped me drop 100bls and keep it off (well, most of it!):
Measure every ounce. Believe it or not, a cup is only 8 ounces and, that's a serving.
If you're a big soda drinker like I've been over the years or you're a big juice, tea, or any drink loaded with sugar. Try to keep it down to 1 cup a day. If that seems too difficult at first, try to get it down to just 2 cups a day. There have been studies that say you could put on up to 15 pounds a year if you drink soda every day.
"The relationship between soft drink consumption and body weight is so strong that researchers calculate that for each additional soda consumed, the risk of obesity increases 1.6 times."
"One extra soft drink a day gave a child a 60 percent greater chance of becoming obese. One could even link specific amounts of soda to specific amounts of weight gain. Each daily drink added .18 points to a child's body mass index (BMI). This, the researchers noted, was regardless of what else they ate or how much they exercised. "Consumption of sugar [high fructose corn syrup]-sweetened drinks," they concluded, "is associated with obesity in children."
