Most people don't realize how easy it is to gain weight from drinking sugary sodas, juice drinks, sport drinks and sweetened tea and coffee drinks. Just one 20-ounce (600ml) bottle of soda can pack 250 calories and more than 16 teaspoons of sugar. Is the lemon-flavoured iced tea any better? Not by much with 210 calories and 14½ teaspoons of sugar. Sugar-sweetened beverages add hundreds of calories to your diet each day. Don't drink yourself fat this holiday season.
Drink water (from the tap, not from a plastic bottle). It's good -- and it's calorie-free.
