Drinks That Make You Gain Weight
It is hard to believe that a drink could make you gain weight. Most people automatically look at what foods to eliminate from their diet to lose weight but certain drinks are also loaded with sugar, calories and other ingredients that will cause you to gain weight. You may not know that the soda you just drank had hundreds of calories or that the lemonade you sipped was full of sugar. Here are drinks to avoid when you are trying to lose weight.
- Alcoholic drinks cause weight gain.
- Sodas are full of sugar and unhealthy calories
- Commercial fruit juice is often made with added sugar and corn syrup
- Milkshakes are full of calories and sugar that will lead to weight gain.
- Coffee with creamer or sugars can cause you to gain weight.
Lots of drinks may taste good but are actually very unhealthy. Avoiding unhealthy drinks is the first step toward losing weight.
