"Eat your calories, don't drink them," registered dietitian Katherine Brooking, MS, told POPSUGAR. "Because the body doesn't compensate for calories from liquids as well as it does from foods you chew, make a mental note of how many calorie-laden drinks you're downing. Replace just one glass of coke or juice with water or a calorie-free beverage and you'll be several pounds lighter a year from now."
