Tip

One thing that I struggle with is drinking water and not drinking soda or juice. Now, Over the last few years I have gradualy cut out my soda intake to barely anything. I drink maybe one 20 ounce bottle a week. What I have found is that I have replaced it with juice. Now the juice has almost as many calories and sugar as the soda, so really the progress is debateable. My new discovery is Sobe LifeWater. My favorite flavor is Pacific Coconut. A 20 ounce bottle has only 80 calories (as appose to 290 for a 20 ounce bottle of Mt. Dew) and 20 g of sugar (a 20 oz bottle of Mt. Dew has 73). So I have started drinking the Sobe LifeWater (in extreme moderation) along with just plain water. I struggle with drinking water because it has no flavor and I don't really want it with a meal. Drinking the Sobe LifeWater allows me to drink something with a flavor that I enjoy and cut out the juice and soda. Tip: Find a LifeWater or VitaminWater to replace the soda and juice! Be sure to check out the lable, some of those waters still have a pretty high calorie and sugar count!
