Is Your Drink Making You Fat?

Friday I came across an article titled The 20 Unhealthiest Drinks in America. I'm sure you all know that many drinks out there contain large amounts of calories, but I couldn't believe how many calories were in some of these that people drink only a daily basis. In some a single drink would make up for a whole days worth of healthy eating.

Here are a few:

Glaceau Vitamin Water (20 oz.)
130 calories 
33 grams sugar

Lipton Iced Brisk Lemon Iced Tea (20 oz.)
325 calories
81 grams sugar

Caribou Coffee Large Chai Tea Latte
420 calories
47 grams sugar

Baskin-Robbins Pomegranate Banana Fruit Blast Smoothie (32 oz.) (Sounds Healthy huh?)
1,020 calories
232 grams of sugar

Those are just a few you can find the rest as well as the #1 Worst Drink In America at: http://health.msn.com/print.aspx?cp-documentid=100219935&page=0 

Live Fit,

P.S. I have also just completed my first book The Burn Fat, Build Muscle Principles. I have been working on it on and off for the past year and a half. Copies can be purchased for $20.00.
