Choose Water Over Juice Listen, I love a pound-zapping juice cleanse as much as the next yoga-mat-toting Californian, but the numbers on the back of those multicolored bottles don't lie: Juice packs a whole lot of sugar. If you're looking for a beverage with flavor, try water infused with lemon, cucumber, mint or ginger. By drinking a single glass of water before meals, you'll eat 75 fewer calories. If you drink it iced, you can raise your resting metabolism by about 50 calories a day, because (the theory goes) your body burns more calories trying to warm up the cold water.
To keep things easy, I like to freeze bits of mint in ice cubes. Just add chopped mint to an ice cube tray, pour water over it and pop it into the freezer.
