TEA AND WATER INSTEAD

Drink water or tea instead of other drinks filled with sugar and calories.

Now I'm not talking about most bottled teas sold in stores.  I'm talking about buying tea bags.  In addition to being MUCH more economical, tea bags have 0 calories!! Most bottled teas have 100 or so calories per serving. This is mostly because of the sugar. That's as much as soda! 8/

Even if you would put a teaspoon of sugar in your tea, that would only add 15 calories--wayyy better than the 100 calories found in bottled teas and sodas.

Let's compare:

SODA: 100 calories and 27 grams of sugar (in 1 serving)
or
TEA from a tea bag with 1 teaspoon of sugar: 15 calories, 4 grams of sugar

Another benefit of tea is that it is high in antioxidants which evidence shows protects against cancer.

There are many different kind of tea bags to choose from, GREEN TEA, RASPBERRY TEA, etc. so you never have to be bored with flavor!

*If you MUST have a soda, try having a glass of water too. Take a sip of soda and then take a sip of water. By doing this you still get to drink some soda, but you probably won't drink as much soda as you would have if you didn't drink water too. The water will cut down on your thirst, therefore probably not allowing you to be able to drink as much soda as you would have without sipping on the water as well.
