“Eating better" means drinking better, so avoid the
empty calories in juice, soda, and especially alcohol.
If you're thirsty, drink water—it's really the only thing
that quenches your thirst anyway. Plus, your body
needs to be properly hydrated in order for you to
excel in your workouts.
How to cut out bad liquid calories:
• Replace juice with a whole piece of fruit. And don't
peel it first (unless it's citrus or a banana, of course).
The skin is loaded with tons of fiber and vitamins.
• Avoid sodas, including the diet ones! Your body
can't differentiate between regular and artificial
sweeteners, and a single soda (diet or not) will spike
your blood sugar.
• Limit alcohol intake—it not only affects blood sugar
and sleep patterns, but it also has the potential to
alter hormone levels, which could inhibit fat loss
