Beverages to Avoid If You Want to Lose Weight

1. Specialty Coffees

You may reduce calories in mochas and lattes by making a few tweaks.

2. Soda

This has hundreds of empty calories. Diet sodas reduce calories. However, data on this move and weight loss is inconsistent.

3. Cocktails

Margaritas and mai tais, especially when bought, are high in calories. Avoid mixers like soda, juice, and prepared cocktails.

4. Mocktails

Calories aren't alcohol-free. Fruit juices can create mocktails heavy in sugar and calories.

5. Kombucha

Sugar, bacterium, and yeast fermented tea. 30 calories per 8-ounce glass. Health benefits include weight loss.

6. Beer

Light beer has 100 calories per 12-ounce bottle or can, so it's not the best drink for weight loss.

7. Wine

Wines vary in calories and alcohol content, but a 4-ounce glass has about 100 calories.

8. Energy Drinks

Check the label for sugar-free options if you're counting calories. Caffeine-containing ones let you know what you're getting.

9. Fruit Juice

Juice offers more nutrients and calories than pop. You need vitamins and antioxidants without sugar.
