YOU WANT FLAT TOMMY? STOP DRINKING THE FOLLOWING......
You have to combine an effective exercise routine with a healthy
and nutritious diet if you want to get a flat stomach. It's a well known
fact that you need to reduce your intake of certain foods if you want
to lose stomach fat. But what you drink is also important. Here are 5
drinks that will stop you getting a flat stomach fast.
1. Alcohol
Having an occasional beer with friends is okay but alcohol contains many empty calories and a single night of drinking can translate into taking in thousands of liquid calories. Instead of being burnt by your body, these calories will be stored as fat and accumulate on your stomach. Alcohol also increases your appetite and causes you to crave junk food which will often result in you consuming even more calories and sabotaging your flat stomach goals.
2. Soda / Fizzy Drinks
Soda and carbonated drinks are something that many people surprisingly continue to consume when they are trying to get a flat stomach. However, both regular and diet soda are detrimental when trying to burn belly fat. Regular soda is packed with sugar and causes you to consume more calories than you need. These liquid calories then get converted into body fat and prevent you from getting lean toned abs. Diet soda may contain no calories but they are full of chemicals that increase your appetite and cause stomach bloating.
3. Fruit Juice
Even though fruit juice does provide your body with some nutritional vitamins, it contains high levels of sugar and no fibre. Therefore, it doesn't reduce your appetite in the same way as fresh fruits and also leads to you eating excess calories which often get stored as body fat. If you do like drinking fruit juice, opt for 100% fruit juice and steer clear of juice drinks that have added sweeteners.
4. Sports and Energy Drinks
Sports and energy drinks are loaded with calories like sweet fizzy drinks. They may have more added nutrients, but you can find the same vitamins and minerals in low-calorie foods. People who want to get a flat stomach should stay hydrated with water rather than sports drinks. Water has no preservatives, no sodium, and no calories. You can drink plenty of water without adding to your caloric intake.
5. Drinks From The Coffee Shop
Drinks like lattes, americanos, cappuccinos and frappuchinos are extremely high calorie drinks. Speciality coffees can contain around 500 calories or more per cup which is possibly more than an entire meal! Black coffee is calorie-free and rich in antioxidants. But once you add heavy cream, flavoured syrups, and/or whipped cream, that innocent mug of black coffee becomes a minefield of fat and sugar. If you don't like your coffee black, add a little skimmed milk.
