Drinking extra calories

This won't appeal to someone who is just wanting to just maintain their current fitness level, but if you are wanting to lose some weight, a GREAT idea is to only drink water. Look at a can of soda or a serving of juice (which is always a ton smaller than what you actually pour for yourself). You could drink 200-500 calories a day on beverages alone. It's ridiculous. Just drink water. It is an easy win and something that is easy to stay conscious of.

Calories
100-150 One serving of juice in the morning (Breakfast)
150-250 Soda (Lunch)
150-250 Soda (Snack)
100-300 Beer/Wine (Dinner)

500-950 Potential caloric intake from ONLY beverages

Taking a Mt Dew can out of my hand is nothing I was eager to dive into, but it makes a serious difference. Give it a whirl. If you are interested in calorie reduction, START with beverages. (another benefit to your best friend and mine, water)
