How to Lose a guaranteed 25 pounds a year, without trying to really even during the holidays

Before you head into the holidays, consider all those who want hors d'oeuvres, gourmet meals and delicious desserts and a guilty conscience that you are your weight-loss program, there is a secret strategy that you might want put in the back have sabotaged .

During the past year, while accurately documenting the foods I ate, I realized that the easiest and quickest way to lose 25 pounds in a year, was the attention paid to the drinks I consumed. I found out thatIt did not matter what I had put into my mouth, food-wise, what mattered, the drinks, which I drank.

While I tried to maintain a 1200 calorie per day regime, it dawned on me that I sabotage my own diet plan by drinking 800 to 900 calories per day. I'm not talking about drinking, in a totally alcoholic sense either. Stay with me a minute, how do I explain this mystery to you.

I was never a math major, but it did not take long for a quick analysis of my reports does not exceedan online calorie calculator. It has shown me that if I consumed 900 calories per day by the fluids I drank, that left only me with 300 calories to eat. Oh, my God. Even a peanut butter and jelly sandwich cost me 456 calories ... The 156 Calorie me over my limit for the day.

That's when I decided to have some reverse psychology on my diet plans. Calculated that if I only took in 100 calories a day worth of fluids, Icould easily be eating to 1100 calories worth of food. In other words, it was easier for me to delete all the high-calorie drinks from my meal plans as calories for each bite that I count myself placed in the mouth.

At the end of the year I had lost about 25 pounds, and all I did was to make sure that the daily caloric value of my drink no more than 100 calories per day. Yes, of course, I applied the 90/10 rule, as I tried to stick with my 1200 calories per day mealPlan. Ninety percent of the time I was up to 1200 calories per day. But 10 percent of the time when I went out and craving to eat at a special function with my family or friends, I have no worries.

If you do nothing else to do so next year, and you only limit your drinks no more than 100 calories per day, you will lose 25 pounds in one year. If you are curious about how anyone could drink worth 900 calories "of drinks in one day, the view that a8 ounces glass of 2 percent milk 120 calories, a latte is 300 calories, 100-160 calories a soda, juice 240 calories, beer or wine, 150 calories, and the list goes on.
