Watch what you drink when on a diet

And I don't mean alcohol, although that can add calories. I've been amazed lately when looking at the labels just how many calories are in an average store bought beverage. You can cut a few hundred calories a day out easily just by switching to water.

If you find you have a hard time getting down the water, you can add some lemon or lime juice (or slice). I have switched from the bottles of green tea to the packets meant for adding to your water. It lets me get my water down, doesn't make a dent in my calories and most of all, keeps me going in the right direction on the scale.

This is so true. Even coffee can be a hidden calorie bomb.
