I was SHOCKED at this pic when the pic above
was posted on Facebook last week.
I wanted to make sure you didn’t make the
same mistake I did and grab something off the
shelf that says “All-Natural” or Low-“Cal”and
end up with a sugar-bomb instead!
I’ve also Included some of the WORST
drinks you can get out there because
By now, you’ve probably heard the term
“empty calories”.
What are they?
Why are they so bad for
you?
How can you avoid them?
Empty Calories = High Calories but Low
in Nutritional Values
In other words, these are calories that
enter your body and provide no useful
purpose other than increasing body fat.
Here’s a few examples of “empty calorie”
foods: chips; candy; French fries; all other
deep-fried foods; sweetened packaged
foods; refined grains such as crackers,
cookies, pastries, white rice, white pasta;
alcoholic beverages; etc.
But the major culprit of “empty calories”
are in liquid form—soda, bottled iced teas,
flavored waters, artificial fruit juices,
energy drinks, etc.
So before you reach for that next drink
out of the vending machine or convenience
store cooler, think again, you may be stifling
your fitness efforts.
Here are a few of the
“20 Worst Drinks in America,”
as according to MensHealth magazine:
#20. Worst Water:
Snapple Agave Melon
Antioxidant Water
(1 bottle, 20 fl oz)
150 calories, 0g fat, 33g sugars.
Sugar equivalent to 2 Good Humor
Chocolate Éclair Bars.
#19. Worst Bottled Tea:
SoBe Green Tea
(1 bottle, 20 fl oz)
240 calories, 0g fat, 61g sugars. Sugar
equivalent to 4 slices of Sara Lee Cherry
Pie…Don’t be fooled, most bottled teas are
made of two primary ingredients:
water and sugar.
#18. Worst Energy Drink:
Rockstar Energy Drink
(1 can, 16 fl oz)
280 calories, 0g fat, 62g sugars.
Sugar equivalent to 6 Krispy Kreme
Original Glazed Doughnuts.
16. Worst Soda:
Sunkist
(1 bottle, 20 fl oz)
320 calories, 0g fat, 84g sugars.
Sugar equivalent to 6 Breyers Oreo
Ice Cream Sandwiches. While all sodas
get 100 percent of their calories from sugar,
some are still worse than others.
#14. Worst Kids Drink:
Tropicana Tropical Fruit Fury Twister
(1 bottle, 20 fl oz)
340 calories, 0g fat, 60g sugars.
Sugar equivalent to two 7-ounce canisters
of Reddi-Wip.
#11. Worst Espresso Drink:
Starbucks Peppermint White Chocolate
Mocha with Whipped Cream
(venti, 20 fl oz)
660 calories, 22g fat (15g saturated),
95g sugars. Sugar equivalent to 8 and half s
coops of Edy’s Slow Churned Rich and Creamy
Coffee Ice Cream…and more calories and
saturated fat than two slices of deep-dish
sausage and pepperoni pizza from Domino’s!
Okay, I’m going to stop there.
Do you see a pattern here?
Lots of calories and loads of sugar.
If you drink 2-3 of these “empty calorie” drinks
every day, that’s up to 5600 calories per week
or over 1-1/2 pounds of fat per week.
That will definitely add up over time.
Your best bet, stick with water most of
the time and you can get away with
unsweetened tea.
Have a great week!
