What your diet may be lacking is a true look at what you are consuming in your drinks. Here are examples of calories that add up if you are not careful.
ONE POUND OF FAT = 3500 Calories
That means in order for you to lose a pound of fat, you need to burn off 3500 calories. The best way to do this is through a proper diet consuming only what is needed to carry out the everyday functions of life. AND…of course if you exercise, you will be able to burn calories a whole lot faster!
