> Here is my opinion. Make sure you drink enough water and don't drink anything but water. If I drink pop, especially pop, I can put on weight so easily. I call it my fat juice. Try not to drink anything but water, sometimes herbal tea is okay. You should eat more than one meal a day, you are supposed to eat 5 small meals a day. Cut out most of the carbs and eat more protein. Try CLA.
I agree with Jaynee. Many people suffer from a dry mouth as a side effect of medication and reach out for a refreshing drink to compensate. It is tempting to reach for a soft drink, which is laden with sugar. The excess kilojules that we get from those soft drinks are stored as fat as the sugar raises our insulin levels, making it harder for our bodies to metabolize fat in general. If you trade fizzy drinks and flavoured juices for water, you should see a reduction in weight.
