What to drink to lose weight? The answer seems very simple, but it really isn’t. In fact, we all know that sugary drinks are linked to overweight and obesity, and that spirits, for example, are among those foods that are defined as “empty calories”, that is foods that not only have no particular nutritional merits, but can also make us sick if consumed in excess. Alcohol, for example, affects the metabolism of fats, so those who indulge in too many glasses tend to gain weight also for this, and not only for the calories contained in the alcohol itself. That said, there are actually no empty calories in the truest sense of the word. A calorie is in fact a unit of measurement that indicates, to put it simply, a TOT of energy. Energy the body needs. Surely between a diet with “empty calories” as we call them and a diet without calories, for example fasting, everyone would know which first can lead to serious health consequences, simply because to live we need to eat. But between a diet with “empty calories” and a diet with nutritious foods, clearly the latter is better for a variety of reasons, starting with the most important: better health.

That said, the question of what to drink to lose weight can be answered instead not to avoid empty calories full stop, but in general to avoid liquid calories . Of any kind or almost. If you are a lover of milkshakes, soft drinks and smoothies, if you love coffee and milk from the bar, or you are among those who choose Starbucks abroad, you will not like the news. Even if your smoothie is heavy, if you want to lose weight, it is better to rely on solid food, not liquid. No soups, no mash.
The reason?
