If there was ever one piece of weight loss advice that should be practiced, it's to not drink calories.
When you think about it, the daily recommend calorie intake, while it seems like a lot, doesn't have that much room outside of necessary meals to work with.
If you have ever counted your calorie consumption in a day, you know it doesn't take long for them to add up. To lose weight, you need to eat 500 calories less than your body burns a day. If you eat (or drink) more than you burn, you will gain weight.
Even juice, while it's considered healthy, is more calories and less nutrition than eating the actual fruit itself. On the other hand a drink like the grande white hot chocolate at Starbucks, contains a whopping 490 calories, 19 grams of fat and over 60 grams of sugar! With a drink like that, you could be eating at McDonald's!
If you switch to solely water and tea and eat your calories instead of drinking them, you will find you have more room for the occasional treat or second helping.
Try It!
