15.Drink plenty of WATER - NOT low-calorie drinks
There are several quite complex reasons why drinks (and indeed foods) containing artificial sweeteners can make you put on weight. There is both the way in which they alter your relationship with eating and drinking - as well as the direct physical effects it has on your body.
Eating and drinking should be about feeding your body with the many different nutrients it needs to remain healthy - as well as the pleasure of the experience. If we try and cheat the system and have our cake and eat it then this healthy attitude can be thrown out of balance.
From your body’s point of view itself, when you drink something like a can of diet lemonade, your body is fooled into believing that what it must now deal with is high in calories and sugar. This not surprisingly causes all kinds of confusion, incorrect processes and can lead to you craving the wrong kinds of foods to compensate.
Drinking water, on the other hand, helps your body to eliminate toxins and wastes and keeps it in better health. Insufficient fluid intake can lead to many problems including a reduced metabolic rate.
