Drink Smart With a Thin, Tall Glass
Choose a tall, skinny glass rather than a short, wide one.
This visual cue can trick your brain into consuming 25%-30% less of whatever
beverage you are drinking. Research has shown that people unconsciously pour a
greater quantity into a short, wide glass than into a tall one. '
Limit Alcoholic Beverages
Reduce your consumption of alcohol. Follow an alcoholic
drink with a low-calorie alternative like sparkling water rather than accepting
a refill on the alcoholic drink. Alcohol has 7 calories per gram, which is more
than carbohydrates (4 calories/g) or protein (4 calories/g). Alcohol can also
weaken your resolve and lead to mindless eating.
Drink Green Tea
Drink green tea. Some studies have found that green
tea can boost metabolism, possibly through the action of phytochemicals called
catechins. In any case, green tea (unsweetened) is a healthy and refreshing
drink that is low in calories.
