Juliette's nutrition tip : Don't drink your calories

When it comes to controlling your weight, it's easy to forget that drinks can be a significant source of calories. A large full-fat latte and a can of fizz, for example, can easily provide around 400 calories – around a fifth of the guideline daily amount (GDA). So if you find your waistband is tightening, try swapping some calorie-laden drinks for calorie-free water.

Bitterly cold day with snow on ground. I find a hot chocolate far more appealing then water!! But come summer the other way round. shame my county had 200 hours less sunshine and 7ft. rain in 2011

Alcohol is a big one Wendy, good shout! Fruit juice with fizzy water is a good alternative to fizzy drinks also.

@Alice Oh my! Bet that gave you a bit of a fright! Yes, I am a bit fan of Hot Chocolate, especially in the winter months. I am trying to use lower calorie versions made with hot water...but they aren't quite the same!
