"Whatever your preference, choose carefully. The last thing you want to do is stall your weight loss."

Any dieter knows that drinking lots of water promotes weight loss and drinking other beverages can stall or sabotage weight loss efforts. WLS Rule #2 - Lots of Water. But it never hurts to be reminded. I came across a great article by one of the leading experts in the bariatric field, Dr. Seun Sowemimo. Dr. Sowemimo is a board-certified, fellowship-trained New Jersey-based bariatric surgeon specializing in minimally-invasive laparoscopic weight loss surgery. His private practice, Prime Surgicare, is located at the Donna O’Donnell Medical Arts Building at CentraState Medical Center in Freehold, NJ.

Water is Still Best for Weight Control

"Here’s the the FYI on H2O:

•     Plain water is a terrific antioxidant.
•     Every day, drink at least six 12-ounce glasses.
•     Many people confuse thirst signals for hunger.
•     Toss in a few slices of citrus and drink it with plenty of ice. Your skin will also thank you for it!

Beverages like hot and iced teas can fill you up and offer added health benefits. But there are many drinks out there that add sugar, calories and carbs to your diet. Most of my weight loss patients say they prefer to eat their daily calorie allotment rather than drink it.

Whatever your preference, choose carefully. The last thing you want to do is stall your weight loss."
