Are you sabotaging your weight loss with high sugar drinks?

In a recent Canadian study, 47% of daily calories come from fluids such as juice, pop and energy drinks.
The culprit is the high content of sugar in most drinks. The sugar is too much for the body to metabolize so it ends up being stored as fat.
Did you know that a 6oz glass of orange juice has the same amount of calories as a can of pop? A can of pop has approximately 12 tablespoons of sugar!
If you are looking to shed a few extra pounds, pay attention to how you are quenching your thirst. Replace juice and pop with water.
Increasing your intake of water will aid in digestion and weight loss.

Spring Clean your Diet!

Spring is the season to “declutter”. Why not step it up and declutter your diet.
Make a transition from the dense winter foods that comfort you from the cold temperatures. Shift your diet to include more fresh fruits, vegeatables, salads, smoothies and vegetarian proteins(nuts, seeds, lentils, quinoa and tofu).
Choose foods that are in season and locally grown. Keep a food log and review it on a regular basis. Aim to have 50-60% of your diet fresh and seasonal. A sping clean up will not only boost your erergy levels, it will clear out your digestive system.
