“Life is a do-it-yourself kit, so do it yourself. Practice. – Phillis Diller
A lot of people make this huge mistake.
They really think, that drinking orange juice they bought at Safeway is good for them.
This makes me grab something made from the glass an throw it against the wall.
Yes, it says 100 % orange juice and I don’t care if it is from concentrate or not from concentrate.
Because that concentrate or whatever it is mixed from is often sweeter than plain sugar.
And I am only talking about orange juice.
Other sweetened drinks and soda are much worst.
If you are serious about your six pack-flat abs, health and your overall well being, you are going to have to get use to drinking the “boring stuff”.
It is actually exciting stuff for your body and great for your health.
Because your body needs some plain fluid and not some liquid candy.
Here are your only six pack-flat abs drinking choices:
- Water – plain, from the sink or bottle – nothing added
- Mineral water – no sugar, no flavor added
- Teas – all kinds you like – herbal, black – no sugar, no honey, nothing, just the tea and hot water
- Coffee – no sugar added but skim milk is OK
- And that’s it!
- OK, you can make an exception and have a little bit of wine occasionally.
I don’t even recommend you to drink fresh squeezed orange juice.
The reason for this is, you already got rid of all fiber that was in it.
And that’s the good stuff that slows the entry of sugar, that orange contains, to your blood.
Orange juice and any other juices, no matter how fresh they are, are processed foods.
And by processing in this case, you got rid of good stuff – fiber.
Have a whole orange or 3 if you like, but don’t just squeeze that juice out of it.
The other bad stuff you need to stay away from:
- Sodas and diet sodas
- Colas and diet colas
- Lemonades and other artificially sweet manufactured fluids
- Energy drinks like red bull and all other kinds
- Other fruit and vegetable juices
By drinking only a plain water, unsweetened teas and coffees you are keeping your hormone insulin under control and lowering your daily caloric intake.
And that’s a huge step toward your six pack-flat abs.
Lemonade can be sweetened with stevia. Add a little sea salt and it will be perfect. You can also carbonate the water (with a soda maker) and it will be fizzy and wonderful. This is very helpful in breaking a soft drink addiction.
