Water & Coffee Diet?

Not exactly...but did you know that these two drinks can aid you in your weight loss? 

Water:
By drinking  ice cold water you can burn more calories. Because the water is cold your body has to warm it up before adsorbing it. Thus, it burns calories to warm it up. By drinking 6, 8oz glasses or 3, 16 oz (Average bottle of water) of Ice Cold water  a day you can burn an extra 50 calories....Those extra 50 add up, 350 a week or 1,400 cals a month!

Coffee, more importantly Caffeine!
Caffeine in a cup of coffee or caffeinated tea can rev your metabolism and help you burn calories!  A cup of coffee can help you raise your metabolism by 5-8% which can burn from 98-174 calories a day, A cup of Tea raises it by 12%!  Just remember that caffeine stays in your system for 24 hours so one cup is enough to do the job! Also remember that tea and coffee are ZERO calorie drinks, keep the calories low and use a zero cal sweetener and skim or soy milk!  By having one coffee a day you can burn an extra  2,744-4,872 cals a month! If you like cold coffee's even better, this goes back to the body having to warm it up...but keep it low cal!!!


These two drinks alone will not cause significant weight loss but added to a healthy lifestyle will! Remember that we still need our fruits, veggies, proteins, fiber and exercise to lose weight! Want more easy metabolism boost? Click Speed up your Metabolism!
