Find out hidden calories and drink it to make you slim

Many girls like to drink drinks for free, but they don't know that there are also high calories hidden in them. So if we want to get a few hundred kilocalories without reducing our diet, we need to start with what we drink.

The calories you drink are the most easily ignored

·New research shows that many women underestimate the calories they consume every day, many of which come in the form of drinks and are often ignored.

·For afternoon tea, you may not choose a high-calorie ice cream sundae, but if you choose iced milk, it will contain the same calories.

·The calories contained in the soda, orange juice, or low-fat milk we usually drink are more or less similar to the calories of a meal.

·If you drink one more cup of orange juice and one more cup of coffee every day, it means that you consume at least 250 more kilocalories per day, and weight gain will follow.

·If you are trying to lose weight or maintain a normal weight, not counting the calories you drink every day will likely cause you to lose weight or gain weight quickly in a short period of time.

Why drinks become calorie blind spots

Dr. Keser Nanas, director of the Center for Obesity and Diabetes Research at New York Hospital, once published a study in "Physiological Behavior": Because drinks are liquid foods, they do not make people feel full or greasy like solid foods. People don't agree with the calories of drinks.

How many calories do we drink every day? A recent study showed that more than 60% of people in the United States drink at least six drinks a day. Based on this standard, even if an adult does not eat and only drinks all day, he will still drink at least 1400 kilocalories, which is 2/3 of the daily calories required by an adult. A person's daily calorie needs are also closely related to age, weight, daily activities, etc. It can be seen that the number of hot calories in drinks cannot be ignored at all.

Drink cleverly

1. Choose fruit juice that contains both vitamin C and rich fiber. This juice is not only more nutritious, but also reduces calories by at least 50 kilocalories compared with ordinary juice.

2. Mix the juice with water. Mix fruit juice with mineral water or other low-calorie drinks to adjust taste and reduce total calories, killing two birds with one stone.

3. Do not add other condiments to the drink. Flavoring syrup is the main culprit for greatly increasing calories. For example, a small sip of Indian syrup contains 25 kilocalories.

4. Drink less fruit sodas or fruity drinks. The juice raw materials in these drinks are not high, but high-calorie syrups account for a large proportion.

5. Natural juice drinks are not the best choice. Don't be fooled by the word "natural" on the outer packaging of the beverage. These logos have nothing to do with the calories contained in the beverage itself.

6. Pour as much as you drink. When drinking a packaged beverage, you can pour out half of it each time, and take it again the next time. If you don't want to drink, don't take it if you don't want to. This will reduce the total intake of the beverage compared to drinking with a straw, thereby reducing caloric intake.

7. Drink some ice cubes. Before drinking, try to pour out only half of the cup and fill the other half with ice cubes. Shake and drink to save a lot of calories. In addition, it should be noted that the calories of wines of the same type and different origin will also vary greatly.

8. Drink white wine mixed with red wine. The pairing of red wine and white wine would be a good attempt. It is not only good for the heart, but also reduces calories by about 20% compared with the same amount of white wine.

9. Choose sports drinks carefully. Although this type of beverage is a good supplement, if you are losing weight and exercise normally, there is no need to replenish a lot of sports drinks after exercise. (Internship Editor: He Lili)
