Eat your calories, don’t drink them. It’s that simple. Let’s take a look at why this will work by using oranges and orange juice as an example. A 24oz cup of OJ is about 330 calories now if your drinking this with breakfast most people would probably have 2 glasses of OJ making it 660 calories total. To get the same amount calories by eating oranges you would need to consume about 10 oranges, now for me and probably a lot of other people two oranges would be enough to fill up and you would only consume 140 calories.

Let’s take a look at why eating your calories is better than drinking them. First because it takes longer to eat calories than drink them. Why is this so important is because it takes around 10 minutes from the time you eat to the time your stomach sends a signal to your brain saying you have had enough. The brain can’t react fast enough when you drink something because it’s in you almost immediately and you don’t have to chew liquids.

Another reason why eating your calories is better is because of fiber. Fiber makes you feel more full without loading you with extra calories. Most juices out there offer a fraction of the fiber you would get by eating the fresh fruit, even the juices with “more pulp”. So by making this simple change in your diet you can seriously cut down on the amount of calories you eat and boost your weight loss goals.
