    We are drinking ourselves fat! No one ever thinks about these types of empty calories, and the dangerous substance is called sugar. We are now taking in 66 pounds of added sugar a year. Most of this excess sugar/empty calories comes from not-so-obvious places, like our coffee from adding creamers and sugar. Agave and fat-free creamers count! A few other unsuspecting fat-belly culprits are fruit juice, even if it’s 100% fruit juice and vitamin-packed waters, coconut water and energy drinks! No matter how harmless they may seem, they are at the heart of our growing national obesity problem. If it’s not calorie-free water, it’s liquid calories!

    Buy More: Zero-calorie, zero-sugar water, calorie-free green tea and coffee

    Buy Less: Coffee creamers, juice, energy drinks, sports drinks, almond milk, and soy milk

    By None: Alcohol, because it stops fat loss dead in its tracks every time!
