Feed your body right: lenten promise led to 20-pound reward FEED YOUR BODY RIGHT: LENTEN PROMISE LED TO 20-POUND REWARD
If you're having a hard time pinpointing the hidden calories in your diet, take a tip from Jim Gorman. The 33-year-old public relations supervisor from Hoboken, New Jersey, will tell you to look in the bottom of your empty glass. He knows from experience.
In 1995, Jim gave up all sugary beverages and alcohol for Lent, resolving to drink only water and club soda. By the time Easter rolled around, he was 20 pounds lighter. "I wasn't really looking to lose weight," he says. "But I have to admit that I was a bit bulkier than I wanted to be."
Since then, Jim has kept his weight between 158 and 163 pounds, appropriate for his 5-foot-11-inch frame. He attributes his trim physique to his continued ban on sugary beverages.

WINNING ACTION
Be wary of liquid calories. Alcohol and sugary beverages can contribute to weight gain—and they don't do a thing to fill you up. A 12-ounce glass of beer supplies 146 calories; 12 ounces of soda, 150 calories; and 8 ounces of fruit juice, about 100 calories. If you're having a tough time losing weight, take account of your liquid calories. Substitute water for your sugary beverages. You'll be a lot happier eating a 300-calorie meal than quaffing a few colas. As for alcohol, save it for special occasions (like losing 10 more pounds), and stick to light beer or wine.
And remember to sip, not gulp.
