One of the big changes I made when I lost weight was to stop drinking

calories.

I grew up thinking things like fruit juice and milk were healthy. Debatable how nutritious they are, but not debatable how many calories they have. When you are trying to stay under 1800 calories a day, it is almost impossible to hit that goal if anything you drink has calories in it.

I admittedly drink way too much Coke Zero. But that and water are all I really drink anymore. OK, that, and bourbon. But at least bourbon is better than beer.

You can summarize any successful weight loss plan as follows: -- GreenvilleVT 07/12/2019 11:55AM

But most people prefer a "fat loss", muscle gain plan. That won't do it. -- EDGEMAN 07/12/2019 1:55PM

No, that's just a weight loss plan. A successful weight loss plan -- Tafkam Hokie 07/12/2019 1:31PM

More power to you, but it doesn't matter for most people's genrl. nutrition ** -- 133743Hokie 07/12/2019 12:37PM

I feel better, recover from workouts quicker, and haven’t had diarrhea in -- BG Hokie 07/12/2019 12:49PM

Well that last one is certainly a positive! ** -- 133743Hokie 07/12/2019 12:51PM

They way they presented this on the news this morning... -- great2bahokie 07/12/2019 11:48AM

It's nothing new or amazing. The underlaying statement is that -- hoosnowahokie 07/12/2019 10:55AM

300 is actually not hard at all... most people don't want to, though. ** -- HokieSignGuy 07/12/2019 10:42AM
