Why change what you drink?

In an ideal world any nutritionist would love to see everyone drinking water. Nothing else… just. Water. But as much as I love water… I know for many people life would be bloody dull without a beer, a gin, or a latte… heck I’d be miserable without constant coffee!
Why is water ideal? It contains zero calories, and is effectively our life source with 60% of our bodies being made up of the stuff! It’s vital for our hydration requirements and life itself. Without it, we die, simple.
The other danger with drinking our calories rather than eating them, is it’s extremely easy to go overboard. If I gave you three oranges to eat, you might struggle. If I gave you those 3 oranges all squished into a glass of fresh orange, it’s a doddle to get them down. Yes those oranges are great nutritional value, and if you struggle to get your calories and carbohydrates up then fresh fruit juice can be a fantastic option. However it can also be enough to sabotage fat loss if you’re not careful and monitor how much you have.
I’m going to assume you don’t want to drink water only, so here we look at alternatives to some of the higher calorie drinks we like to indulge in. Remember there’s no right or wrong, and not all these suggestions will work for you. If you have any awesome suggestions you think I should add here please email [email protected]
