Total Body Fitness recommends 5 things to drink to lose weight
1. Ice cold water
You'll burn an extra 80-200 calories a day by drinking eight glasses of ice cold water because...
Your body has to burn calories (or fat) in order to heat the ice cold water back up to your body temperature. The amount of calories you burn (and the weight you lose) will rack up over time as you drink Ice cold water everyday.
A German study says drinking about 2 extra glasses of water can boost your metabolism by 30% and they figure when you drink about 1.5 liters of water a day you'll lose an extra 5 lbs a year.
2. Milk
Milk is high in calcium and calcium can boost weight loss by increasing fat breakdown in fat cells. This doesn't mean you should go out and drink gallons of milk everyday - but adding milk to your diet in moderation can double the rate of fat you lose.
Different studies say different things on milk and weight loss... some say you can lose 30, 50, and one study even said 70% more weight than people who don't include 3-4 servings of dairy (milk) a day.
3. Green Tea
Studies show you can burn 35-43% more fat during the day when you drink 3-to-5 cups of green tea.
4. Vegetable Juice
Drinking a glass of vegetable juice before your meals may cause you to eat 135 less calories according to a study done at Penn. state university and even if you can't make vegetable juice... Drinking a couple glasses of water before meals will also make you eat much less so you lose more weight.
5. Whey protein
Whey protein helps you release appetite suppressing hormones that curb your cravings and keep you fuller longer.
