3 Deadly Secrets Behind Liquid Calories

Soda and coffee consumption is on the rise. So is obesity. Coincidence?

Deadly Weight Loss Secret #1: Liquid calories are super-dense in calories, but have zero nutrients.

These are the worst possible kind of calories you can consume. They are the poster children for empty calories. Any weight loss program that doesn't take liquid calories into consideration is lacking.

Deadly Weight Loss Secret #2: They don't fill you up.

Liquid calories don't activate the mechanisms in the body that let you know when you're full. Some studies now show that liquid calories alone are responsible for the huge rise in obesity rate in the US.

The diet plan I give people recommends paying close attention to your liquid calories. Including them as part of your daily caloric intake is crucial if you're going to lose belly fat fast.

Deadly Weight Loss Secret #3: It's easy to consume them quickly

Since they don't fill you up, you can usually consume a huge amount of liquid calories in just a few seconds. Imagine being thirsty and hot after mowing the lawn. You reach for a bottle of soda, and pretty much devour it. That's a lot of calories!

Think of it this way: One 20 ounce cola has just about 250 calories. Let's say you drink one of those every day.

Then, let's say you make no changes to your diet, except you cut out the 250 calorie-a-day soda. If you maintained that for a year, you would lose 26 pounds! Think about that for a moment.

You don't have to exercise, cut out your favorite foods, or even cut back on your portions. Just cutting out that one soda will cause you to lose 26 pounds. It really is that simple.

What about healthy drinks like orange juice. Well, while they're not as bad for you as soda and coffee, they still contain a whole lot of calories. And, they don't fill you up.

So, if you do drink fruit juices, just keep in mind that you'll have to cut your meal portions to compensate for the additional calories.

Alcohol is another major culprit in the liquid calorie arena. The big problem with alcohol is that in addition to being super dense in calories, it also keeps your body from burning fat.

Why do liquid calories not fill you up? Most experts believe it's a genetic thing. Nowhere in human history have our ancestors had access to such a huge volume of liquid calories.
