Water
One of my greatest weight-loss tips is to drink more water, says Smolen, since dehydration may cause low energy and sluggishness, making you more prone to grab for high-calorie foods or beverages like soda.
Protein Shakes
Beydoun says that protein makes you feel fuller than fat or carbs and has a bigger thermic effect, which means it burns more calories as it is digested. On top of that, protein drinks can help you eat more protein.
Green Tea
Smolen says that drinking green tea instead of soda or juice can help you cut calories and may help you lose weight. She also says that it can help you stay hydrated and goes toward your daily water intake.
Coffee
Beydoun says that unsweetened coffee is a low-calorie drink that you can enjoy without adding extra sugar or calories to your diet. You can also get a lot of energy from black coffee.
Kombucha
If you want to lose weight, Smolen says to drink kombucha (a type of fermented tea) instead of pop. "These drinks are carbonated and sweet, but they don't add a lot of extra calories.
Sparkling Water
"Sparkling water, which doesn't have any extra calories or sugar, can be a good alternative to sugary sodas," says Beydoun. It also comes in many tastes, which makes it a good alternative to juice and other sweet drinks.
