Calories - Don't Drink Them

Personally, I'd rather eat my calories than drink them. FitSugar finds out this is not such a bad idea and reports that cutting out sugar-sweetened beverages, like sodas and bottled iced tea, seems to have a profound effect on weight loss and weight-loss maintenance. Bottom line: Water is best.

If you're concerned with stretching your dollar (while not stretching your waistline), then we at That's Fit suggest you invest in a reusable water bottle -- it costs nothing after the initial purchase, it's calorie free, and it will benefit the environment too.
