5 things you can drink to lose weight

1. Ice cold water

You'll burn an extra 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 and for a special weight loss trick...

Go here to see how you can lose 5 pounds in 7 days using water...

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

Drinking 3-to-5 cups of green tea everyday increases your metabolism so you can burn 35-to-43% more fat during the day & You can go here to see how to make your own home-made 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.

In a recent study... people drank either whey or casein and 90 minutes later they were allowed to eat freely at a buffet table. The people that drank whey protein ate significantly less calories.

Foods you can eat to lose weight...

ANGELA

Here's the main thing you should worry about...

At your current weight - do you look better?

If yes then that simply means you lost fat (good news) and gained muscle(more good news) so...

If that's the case FORGET THE SCALE!

The only thing you're NOT doing is exercise - you cant expect TOO MUCH from just diet changes so start working out (if you can)

Go to NowLoss.com/15 to lose last 5 pounds but because of your already low height and weight - it may not be until late Januray when you reach your goal

Adrian Bryant | 11.25.09 - 12:02 pm

oh, after losing my 5 pounds, i think i would stop doing tae bo. will i gain it back, even if i'm on a relatively healthy diet? since i just have those last 5 pounds to lose, i dont think i need to change the routine right? because i don't buy the videos, i watch them on youtube. i hula hoop for 30min about 3 times a week too. i was about 102pounds and then i dropped to 95 by jogging in 4months and now i have stopped losing even though i still jog.

sorry please do answer, i really need help. i dont know why i'm not losing weight anymore. i targeted 90pounds before chritmas, i hope it can be possible.

Any protein powder is fine.

You just need to find one that is the best tasting for you.

I do recommend if you do get any protien that you get from a site like affordablesupplements.com or http://www.bodybuilding.com/

Hey. I'm sixteen years old, 5'4'' and I weigh approximately 130 lbs. Is this weight ideal for my height? I have started to eat a lot healthier, drink LOTS of water and green tea, and work out almost everyday (cardio on treadmill/eliptical and yoga). I am leaving for vacation in two-three weeks and I waswondering if there were any last minute things I could do to speed up the tone up process so I can feel a little more comfortable at the beach and whatnot. I'm really self-conscious and I just want to be healthy and toned. Any suggestions would be great. Thank you so, so much.

If you follow the diet & workout plan here...

Your first 50-to-100 pounds should come off at an abnormal pace meaning you may lose 2-to-5+ pounds a week and after your first 100...

You may lose just 1-to-3 pounds weekly until you hit your goal

I don't think you're overweight for your height & weight so it's going to take some time for you to lose 15 pounds and it's none of my buisness but why would you want to (being a guy) want to lose 15 more pounds? - Wouldn't you rather gain muscle while burning fat?

vanessa,

According to this article here - The Fit N right does help you lose weight but I'm still skeptical only because I can't see a label listing all the ingredients.

You'd have to watch the amount of sugar contained in these drinks so if the sugar and calories are low - then it could be useful for weight loss

Linda,

have you tried replacing the coffe with green tea - you'll probably lose 6-to-10 pounds in 10 weeks just by doing that alone - Listen to what Dr. perricone says about green tea:

If you're addicted to coffee -read this to get over your coffee & soda addictions:

Adrian Bryant |02.16.08 - 8:39 am

What is your opinion of coffee? I have quite an addiction - 6-8 cups a day - and I wondered if it has any effect on my weight loss program. I work out, swim, try to follow Weight Watchers more or less, am 5'6", have gone very slowly over 6 years from 200 pounds to 160. I want to lose 10 more pounds but seem to be stuck. Is coffee hurting my efforts? Thanks!

ya ive started to switch it up.. my diet isn't to harsh.. but i eat healthy.. no mcdonalds or ne type of fast food.. i drink water and gatorade no pop.. i recently purchased soy protein because im starting back on the weights again.. but my routine for losing that weight was usally monday through friday.. lift weights, jog a mile then ride the bike, then finish in the sauna

but right now my routine is lift just a little, run two miles walk about half mile.. then hit the eliptical for about 20 min then push ups sit ups, finishing in the suana with some bench dips.. i started at 225 and right now my weight is about 195/196 but it seems as if my motivation is getting kinda low.. thats the biggest problem really.. just the mental side

matt armstrong | 02.05.08 - 12:42 pm

Matt,

The main reason why you've stopped losing weight is probably because you've been the same workout over & over so...

The best thing you can do is change up your routine by doing different exercises and/or...

You could do the same exercise but increase the intensity or time you spend doing it but usally..

All you have to do is change up your exercise but...

I'll be able to help you much better if you also tell me exactly what you did to lose 27 pounds like your diet and workout plan

Adrian Bryant | 02.05.08 - 5:32 am

im 18 years old and ive been going to the gmy for about a year.. ive lost a total of 27 pounds but its come to a dead stop.. its really hard to lose now.. do i just need to push harder in the gym.. and is there ne thing that can jump start weight lose so i can get my motivation back

matt armstrong |02.05.08 - 2:07 am

As far as drinks go for fast weight loss - I would just use the weight loss drink recipe from Jillian Michaels

I need to lose weight fast about 14 pounds. Would drinking vinegar help me lose weight faster and do you have any other suggestions to get my weight down quickly
