WEIGHT LOSS

What is the easiest thing to do to lose weight?

Drink water!!!

Majority of people who are overweight are drinking 750 calories or more per day in liquid. That is on top of the calories they take in from food.

8 fluid ounces of orange juice has 110 calories (8 oz is nothing. When I would drink juice I would get at least double that.) and 27 grams of carbohydrate = 6 teaspoons of sugar.

8 fluid ounces of Coca-Cola has 97 calories and 27 grams of carbohydrate also = 6 teaspoons of sugar. Most cans are two servings.

Don’t even think you can get away with drinking diet soda. Diet soda screws up your appetite center in your brain so you never know when you are full. Many of my diet soda drinkers drink 3-6 cans per day.

Yours In Health!

  Mark,
  
  Hello. In my office I have a saying that I share with all of my patients who drink diet sodas, “The only thing worse than Coke is Diet Coke.” Diet sodas are not our friends.

  Mark,
  
  Hello. Thank you for this comment. I will try to share more information about diet soda and how it affects the body in future blogs. Please be sure to check back as I think this is really a hot topic for a lot of other people as well.

Hi Dr. Wendy,

Love my water! Thank you for this simple reminder to drink plenty of water and to avoid drinking sodas, especially “Diet” sodas. I hear they really are a poison to our bodies.

What do you think of such drinks as Crystal Light? And even if you hate it, what about in moderation like a few times a week? (sometimes I just want a FLAVOR not just water.)

Happy Dating and Relationships,

  April,
  
  Good evening. In my opinion water is always going to be our best choice. April, I have nothing against anything anyone chooses to drink…it’s all about making a choice for yourself. I think you answered your question though when you said “moderation”…I always ask my patients, “Can you smoke in moderation and be healthy? Can you do drugs in moderation and be health?” The answer is no. Why not make your water a little more flavorful by adding lemon or lime to it? Again, if you do choose to have the occassional Crystal Light it doesn’t make you a bad person…trust me I’m not always 100% perfect with my meal choices (brownies and cookies have been known to call out my name from time to time). Just remember that it is a choice and always follow it up by a healthier choice. I hope that helps.

Dr. Schauer,

“8 fluid ounces of orange juice has 110 calories and 27 grams of carbohydrate = 6 teaspoons of sugar.

8 fluid ounces of Coca-Cola has 97 calories and 27 grams of carbohydrate also = 6 teaspoons of sugar.”

Am I to surmise that drinking orange juice is just as bad as drinking a soda? Or is that when strictly observing the calorie count? I’m thinking in terms of fresh juiced fruits and veggies, of which I try to drink daily as part of feeding my body nourishing and healthy foods.

I have read that when we pasteurize or process our juices to last on shelves at the store, we are essentially reducing the fresh and healthy qualities of the juice into sugar. Is this true?

  Shane,
  
  Hello. Thank you for your question. I have to admit that I’m not a fan of juices, period, even fresh squeezed juices. They are extremely high in simple sugars. If you only had a choice of fresh squeezed juice and Coca-Cola of course go for the juice. Tomato juice has 10 grams of carbs which equates to 2 teaspoons of sugar which is definitely a better choice than fruit juice.
  
  I hope this helps answer your question.
  
  Yours In Health!

Great advice! Isn’t it amazing how it’s the simple ordinary things of life, like water, that are so important.

My doctor told me the same thing when I asked her how best to lose weight: Drink water!

  Eileen,
  
  Hello. It’s very wonderful to hear that you’re getting so much from my postings. There is a great book that I would recommend to everyone to read about water, it is called, “Your Bodies Many Cries For Water” by, Dr. F. Batmanghelidj, M.D. The subtitle of the book is, “You’re Not Sick; You’re Thirsty!”. It is a very powerful look at how most of us our running around on a daily basis dehydrated. If you decide to get the book for yourself I would truly enjoy hearing your thoughts and comments.
  
  Yours In Health!
