What You Don't Know About Losing Love Handles

By David D Silver

You may not know this, but soda drinks and those sugared juices can be packing the pounds onto your waistline without you even knowing. This makes it quite hard when you are losing love handles. Surprisingly, guzzling down those drinks have a bigger impact on our waistlines than anything that we eat. Some people start their diets, but continued to drink these high sugared drinks and wonder why they don't lose weight. Well, this guide will help you choose what drinks you can drink freely and what drinks you have to stay away from.

Many people would be surprised to hear that tea is great for drinking and losing love handles. The good thing about it, is that regardless of whether you can get hot or cold, it's calorie free and takes great. Also, there have been a few studies that have shown that green tea can enhance your metabolism for up to 24 hours, which actually means that it's helping you burn more calories.However, by putting sugar in your tea you're taking away from these health benefits. So, drink tea without sugar and it'll be a good start to losing weight.

Coffee is actually another drink that you can drink freely when losing love handles. An unsweetened brew is jampacked with healthy compounds, without the calories. Also, try not to put too much milk or creams in your coffee as these are filled with fat. If you really must, try using skimmed milk.

Milk is actually a drink that you should go easy on, as it does contain fat. However, if you go with the skim or low-fat version, then it can actually lead to weight loss. This is because dairy contains calcium and the amino acid leucine. Another good alternative, is drinking soy milk. Soy milk actually gets the same health benefits as skim milk or low-fat milk.

Alcohol is weird. In fact, having a drink once a day does have its perks, which include reducing the risk of heart disease. However, each little glass contains a lot of calories. So if you're trying to lose weight, the worst thing you can do is drink a bunch of beer.

Juice is very tricky. Many people think, if it comes from a fruit it must be healthy. However, this is not always the case. If you had to choose between fruit juice, or eating a whole fruit, you're better off getting the whole fruit. For instance, an orange has a mere 59 calories, and it's chock-full of fiber. Whereas, a typical glass of orange juice as around 110 calories.

So,what is a drink to stay away from? Well, it's diet soda. New research suggests that these artificially sweetened drinks will mess up your brain's ability to measure caloric intake. So instead of drinking milk, alcohol, or diet soda, why not have some soy milk, tea, or coffee.

Good luck losing weight!
