There are few Internet weight loss claims that actually work — but one couple’s simple lifestyle change may just be one to implement into your everyday life. Priscilla and Scott abstained from drinking sugary sweets for three weeks — that includes fizzy drinks, sugar-heavy fruit juice, alcohol and syrupy coffee.
By drinking only water, coffee and herbal tea, they lost an average of 2 kg per week. The couple had participated in the Australian TV show The Living Room where former The Biggest Loser trainer Tiffiny Hall set them the task.
Hall told News.com.au: “I set them the challenge to just drink water, as well as black coffee, green tea, for three weeks. If you think about it, 600 ml of fruit juice a day equates to 23 kg of sugar over a year.”
According to the NHS added sugars should not take up more than five per cent of one’s caloric intake, which is approximately 30 gm of sugar a day. However, ‘Action on Sugar’ found that hot flavoured drinks in high street stores contain up to 25 tsp of sugar, over three times the adult recommended daily amount — in one serving.
When we’re talking about wellness and weight loss, a lot of people think about food and exercise. They don’t think much about what they drink. But there are a lot of liquid calories that you drink. Scott went from 100 kg to 94.6kg, losing a total of 5.7 kg and his partner Priscilla went from 98.8kg to 96.2kg.
