If you look at the US and compare it to the rest of the world, we eat incredibly unhealthy. What the government allows food companies to make for us to consume is a crime. While other countries are banning processed, genetically modified, and other types of foods with additives, the US is supporting and pushing these types of foods.
Knowing this, it's pretty easy to lose weight quickly. Part 1 of the Shaving Pounds program is to cut out unnecessary drinks. These include sodas (even zero sodas), energy drinks, fruit juice drinks, tea and coffee.
Some of these may seem self evident, but what about the others? I'll list out the reasons why each of these are contributing to your weight gain.
Soda - It's full of sugar, not to mention a load of other stuff that's hard for your body to digest and deal with. If there's no sugar, then there's a substitute like aspartame which is even worse for you.
Energy Drinks - Again, sugar is high in these, not to mention the huge amount of caffeine. Both of these contribute to weight gain.
Fruit Juice Drinks - This is pretty much the same reason as the others...sugar. Granted there are some vitamin and mineral benefits to them, but they are incredibly high in sugar. Whatever your body doesn't need in sugar will go straight into fat.
Tea & Coffee - This is the same reason as energy drinks. The caffeine content is really high. There's actually a substance in it called CGA which is the main culprit.
So there are the things to cut out of your diet if you want to lose a quick bit of weight. It will also make a huge difference in how you feel every day. You'll actually have more energy when you're not consuming these drinks.
Be forewarned that most people do have a withdrawal period from many of these drinks. Great replacements for these are water, herbal teas, and water kefir. Let me know how it's worked for you!
