Just say no to unnecessary LIQUID CALORIES!

Are high calorie drinks that boast all sorts of health benefits duping you? I have seen clients of mine get completely sidetracked by high calorie drinks that they purchase at Starbucks, Jamba Juice or even at the gym!

How Many Calories Are You Really Consuming?

As we move through our day, many of us eat far more calories than we realize. And despite our best efforts to "eat clean" and follow a meal plan, little bites mindlessly consumed add up and wreak havoc on our otherwise healthy diets. While passing your coworker's candy bowl, shopping in a market that offers samples, or preparing dinner, we give in to a bite of this or that, thinking that it won't add up, but sadly it does. Those small bites could be the difference between losing, maintaining or gaining weight.
