Losing weight is never easy, and the older you get, the harder it gets. If you’re having a hard time shedding those stubborn pounds, you might want to take a look at your beverage options. Let’s face it, there are many reasons a person would want to lose weight. Maybe you have a special event, like a wedding or a vacation, and you want to look your best. Or maybe you’re trying to hit a certain body fat percentage before the season starts so you can shave minutes off your mileage. If your goal is to lose weight, cut back on alcoholic beverages. It can help. Ordinary people get about 20% of their daily energy from beverages. So let’s say you’re consuming an average of two hundred four hundred calories a day. That’s 520 calories, which you can greatly curb by eliminating sugary beverages from your daily routine.

Here are 4 drinking habits that will help you speed up your weight loss:

1. Limit Alcoholic Beverages

When it comes to losing weight, giving up alcohol isn’t the only step you can take, it’s just a habit that can help, along with other lifestyle changes. Alcohol prevents your body from burning fat, is high in kilojoules, and can make you hungry quickly. According to a study, regular drinking increases the risk of becoming overweight by 45%, and for people who are already overweight, the risk of becoming obese increases by 30%. And it’s not just the calories in alcohol that can affect your weight. It’s also the plate of nachos or extra slices of pizza that can come with an evening meal.

2. Drink an adequate amount of water.

One drink has been shown to help with weight loss – Water!

Drinking water helps maintain a general milieu of the body. An adult should drink 2-4 liters of water per day. Water helps burn fat and suppress appetite. Drinking water is an excellent weight loss booster, primarily because it improves digestion and speeds up metabolism, in addition to other health benefits. By setting a water goal for the day, you’re more likely to avoid excess energy fluids. A good rule of thumb is to drink half your body weight in ounces of zero-calorie liquid each day.

3. Drink tea.

Tea, whether served hot or cold, is a delicious way to add fluid to your diet. The 3 best herbal teas for weight loss are green tea, oolong tea, and herbal tea.

Green tea has been proven time and time again to be a great tool for a healthy lifestyle and weight loss. It’s high in a type of antioxidant called catechins and has been linked to weight loss and fat loss.

Oolong tea comes from the same family as green tea and black tea. It is often described as having a fragrant, fruity aroma and unique taste, although these can vary depending on the degree of oxidation. Several studies have shown that oolong tea can improve weight loss by improving fat burning and speeding up metabolism.

Herbal Tea . People often seek herbal remedies for everything from relieving the symptoms of allergies and arthritis to detoxifying the liver. Herbal teas are made with herbs, fruits, spices, or other plants.

4. Drink a protein shake.

The best protein shakes for weight loss should be high in protein to help build and repair muscle while low in carbohydrates to maintain a calorie deficit. By building lean muscle mass and losing fat, you are ultimately changing your body composition. The result is a fitter, more muscular, and leaner body. After you calculate the amount of daily protein you get from your usual diet, you can make up for any deficiency by drinking protein shakes. Drinking a protein shake before bed can increase muscle mass, improve energy, accelerate weight loss, and improve sleep quality.
