Another very good reason to drink water is that it’s the
world’s best diet drink … it has ZERO calories!!
By comparison, the typical ‘2 unit’ alcoholic drink contains
between 200 and 300 calories, and a bottle of cola or an energy drink over 300
– and what’s worse, they’re ‘empty’ calories, devoid of any nutritional value.
So, if you’re #5stepping (and, if you’re not, you should
be), you’ll see why replacing one alcoholic and one caffeinated drink per day
is going to help you lose weight – to put it into perspective, 500 calories a
day is ONE-THIRD of the average daily requirement for most adults, it’s the
equivalent of two Mars Bars, it’s 3,500 calories a week, it the equivalent of a
whole meal, it’s 182,000 calories a year!
Who needs to diet if you’re #5stepping?
It’s not just your general health and your waistline that’ll
benefit – you could save yourself some serious money too. A glass of water needn’t cost you a penny extra if it comes
out of a tap; by comparison, a cola is around £1; a coffee shop cappuccino, £2.50; a typical
glass of something cheering about the same (assuming you’re drinking at home). Start #5stepping and you’re not going to lose money, start #5stepping and you
could easily save yourself between £1.50 and £5 every day of the year.
Could you do with an extra £550 a year, because that’s the
equivalent of one home brewed cuppa and a glass of plonk a day? If you imbibe your poisons whilst you're out and
about, then the two drinks you’ll be giving up amount to well over £2,000 every
year of your hard-earned, heavily taxed income – you could either work a lot
less or holiday a lot more for that sort of money, and enjoy better health at
the same time.
…And, if you can’t, share it with someone who can and get
ready to see if you can start #5stepping with the second step, out next week.
