Many people who go on a diet forget about the need to limit themselves not only in food, but also in certain types of drinks.
The thing is that some drinks can be very high in calories.
In addition, certain liquids have a negative impact on the body's functioning and metabolism.
So, what drinks should a person who wants to lose excess weight avoid?
Alcoholic drinks
A person losing weight should completely give up alcohol for three reasons.
First, many alcoholic drinks are sources of so-called “empty calories.”
Secondly, alcohol slows down the metabolism: the process of getting rid of excess weight slows down.
Thirdly, drinking alcohol is the reason for increased appetite. It becomes more difficult for a person to eat his fill and get rid of the feeling of hunger.
Sweet sodas
Sweet carbonated drinks are very high in calories. A serious problem is the abundance of sugar or sugar substitutes.
In addition, lemonade and cola often stimulate appetite and can have a negative effect on the stomach.
Fruit juices
Such drinks are considered healthy. However, they are not dietary.
Fruit juices contain a lot of sugar. This is the reason to refuse such drinks during a diet.
Also, excessive consumption of fruit juices can negatively affect the gastrointestinal tract.
