A recent study published in the American Journal of Clinical Medicine shows that 37% of the calories we consume from liquids every day come from sugary drinks. The study also published a shocking discovery: drinking a lot of sugary drinks is easier to thicken the waist circumference than eating any other food.

Therefore, when losing weight, some drinks can be drunk in large quantities, while others should be restricted.

Some drinks, you can drink a lot.

1, tea

Sugar-free tea is the most popular drink in the world after water, and it is also one of the few drinks that can be drunk freely. The reason why you can drink it freely is because it is zero calories regardless of whether it is hot or cold. The study also found that the tea polyphenols contained in the green tea mixture can also accelerate your metabolism, which means that you can consume more calories without changing the amount of exercise.

However, if sugar is added to this delicious drink, it will no longer be a healthy drink that can be drunk unimpeded. Whenever possible, try to choose sugar-free ones. If you want to buy bottled drinks, you'd better read the label carefully. In a bottle or a bag of drinks, it is best not to exceed 4 grams of sugar.

If you make your own tea drinks, you can try iced cucumber green tea recommended by Dr. Maggie Mo of the American Tea Association:

(1) Boil a liter of water, let it cool for 10 minutes, and then add 8- 10 bags of green tea. This will make the taste stronger, but it will not destroy the healthy ingredients of tea and will not make tea too bitter.

(2) Soak the tea bag in water for 1 min, and then take it out.

(3) Select a cucumber, peel it and cut it into pieces, and leave 8- 10 pieces for decorating the cup rim.

(4) Choose a teaspoon of fresh ginger, peel and chop it.

(5) Then, divide the cut cucumber and ginger into four cups and put in ice cubes.

(6) Finally, add 240ml of tea leaves to each glass of water, and insert cucumber slices at the side of the cup.

2. Coffee

Just like tea, unsweetened coffee contains some healthy ingredients and almost no calories. However, if you are a lover of sweetened coffee and drink unsweetened coffee instead, you can consume an average of 206 fewer calories per day. Instead of changing your coffee taste, try American coffee (espresso with water) or low-fat milk or skim milk coffee. If you can't give up cream and sugar, then you should try to reduce their amount and choose low-fat or skim cream.
