Week 28 Incentive: Avoid Sugary Beverages

 Hey Everyone, how's it going?

Hopefully, you all got through the first few days of the new year.

Today, I'm on day four of my healthy habit resolution for the first quarter of the year.

And this week's incentive is a good part of that. Even though I don't drink hardly any sweetened beverages, mostly naturally sweetened juices and teas. But plenty of water.

For week 28, it's to "Avoid Sugary Beverages."

It might seem painful giving up on sweetened beverages, but realize it will get easier after the first few days. When you break the cycle of craving addiction for sugary drinks, we notice that it lessens; then soon after a few weeks, we no longer crave it or desire it.

Here's an outline of how to get through. Just remember, when going through any lifestyle changes, talk with your doctor, personal trainer, and your dietitian.

    1. Survey your consumption

    2. Reduce your intake

            *Soft drinks

            *Flavored water and other sweetened beverages

            *Juice

            *Coffee and Tea

    3. Drink plenty of water

I hope that everyone is doing well and making the best at the start of the new year.  

Stay safe, take care of yourself, and focus on staying healthy.
