The sneaky thing about sodas, juices, sports drinks, alcohol, and coffee is the number of calories vs. the amount of benefits they provide. A can of non-diet soda typically has 140-180 calories, nearly all of them from sugar. A drink from Starbucks can easily double that. But they are providing no nutritional value.

Say you only need 1,800 calories a day. You can easily blow nearly 10% of them on a single can of Coke, with zero benefit. And while juices can have vitamins, they are mostly sugar. The fiber content alone would make eating a whole orange better than drinking a glass of orange juice.

So unless your drink IS your meal (juicing, protein shake, or Shakeology), drink water instead and let your food provide your calories. You’ll feel fuller longer and your body will get more of what it needs.

I have insulin resistance and my blood sugar was way high. I knew I had to do something, so when I heard about Matthew, I decided to check it out. It has helped me tremendously. In just about 4 months my blood sugar went way down!! The doctor is happy and so am I. I also enjoyed doing the 90 Day Fitness Challenge. It helped me take more responsibility for every area of my life.
