A void sweetened beverages, unless you want a drink that’s filled with flab-inducing sugar and high-fructose corn syrup. Some recent research from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health shows that many of us now consume nearly 300 calories daily from sugar-sweetened beverages alone, including soda, sports beverages, sweetened teas, and fruit drinks—enough calories, over time, to increase our risk of weight gain and diabetes.
A typical 8-ounce glass of sweet tea is loaded with calories. Choosing unsweetened tea will add a whopping 0 calories to your meal. That’s right, it’s calorie-free! If you need an extra pop of flavor, add a squeeze of lemon or orange juice for virtually no added calories.
