I called empty calorie drinks the silent deal breaker. Everyone I know have a beverage or two (maybe even three) throughout the day. They pour out a glass of juice, usually more than 8 oz serving for breakfast = 120-180 calories. Or they might have coffee with cream and sugar. For lunch, they have a can of soda = 150 calories. For dinner, a beer or some wine = 150-180 calories. That is 420-510 calories extra a day. Of course, we are going to gain weight!<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('170','asithi'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('170','asithi','Tom, I am glad that you pointed this out.

Another great tip is to avoid the liquid calories - in particular carbonated drinks. One can of soda comes in at around 150 calories.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('166','Tom Parker'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('166','Tom Parker','Great post Asithi.

Sorry if it came out as too negative, but I find that you were trying to "cheat" too amusing. Seriously, I think most people, including myself, sometimes learn something in order to figure out how to cheat when it comes to eating. I thought it would be something people struggling with their weight can relate to. :D Thanks for commenting.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('136','asithi'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('136','asithi','Sharon - I was trying to find a way to reference you in my blog since you sent some traffic to my blog.

I figure that if I have a "treat" such as a candy bar, I can "burn it off" in 49 minutes. So I workout for 40 minutes in order to have that candy bar. When I was younger, that did not seem to be a problem, but I find that lately, it just does not seem to be worth the effort. I rather just not have that candy bar. I feel that I am starting eat more mindfully.
