How to Lose Weight for Women: Foods to Avoid<\/h2>\n

There are several foods and drinks you should avoid when weight loss is your goal and a few tricks that help you steer clear of the foods that are hindering weight loss success.<\/p>\n

Try drinking 2 cups of water before meals, and getting in plenty of healthy fats to curb junk food cravings.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sugary Drinks<\/strong><\/h3>\n

It may come as no surprise that sugary drinks can halt weight loss, as these drinks provide empty calories but often no beneficial nutrients.<\/p>\n

Examples of sugary drinks to avoid for weight loss for older women include:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Sodas<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • Juice drinks containing added sugar<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • Large amounts of fruit juices<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • Sweet tea<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • Lemonade<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • Coffee drinks containing added sugar<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    One can of soda contains about 150 calories, so switching from soda to water helps you cut calories when you need to shed pounds.<\/p>\n

    Unsweetened green tea and black coffee are other good options, as these drinks are almost calorie-free.<\/p>\n

    Diet Drinks<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Diet drinks are calorie-free, but that doesn't mean you should drink them when trying to drop excess body weight.<\/p>\n

    Diet sodas contain artificial sweeteners, which taste sweet and increase your craving for sugary foods and drinks.<\/p>\n

    A study conducted by the San Antonio Longitudinal Study of Aging found that drinking diet drinks regularly is associated with higher body mass indexes (BMIs) and waist circumferences<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    So no sugary drinks and no diet soda. What CAN you drink? Try these 6 healthy drinks!<\/em><\/p>\n
