Choosing the right weight-loss drinks can significantly enhance weight and fat loss in women. But what makes a good weight loss drink?<\/p>\n
First off, skip the soda \u2014 even diet or ‘zero' sodas!<\/p>\n
Studies show that drinking soda and other sugar-sweetened beverages is associated with higher body weight and body mass index (BMI)<\/a> in children and adults, and artificial sweeteners, such as saccharin, sucralose, aspartame, acesulfame potassium, and neotame,\u00a0are associated with higher calorie intake and weight gain<\/a> because they alter your microbiome, decrease satiety, and change your glucose metabolism.<\/p>\n Yes, artificial sweeteners are calorie-free but they still taste sweet and can induce sugar and other junk food cravings.<\/strong><\/p>\n Protein- and fiber-rich drinks can be a good alternative, as they keep you full without the calories. Studies show that protein helps maintain lean body mass, keep your metabolism high, and prevent unwanted weight gain and obesity<\/a>.
