7.Worst: Soda
Every time you chug a bottle of this, you get hundreds of empty calories. Switching to diet soft drinks can cut calories. But research is mixed on whether this switch helps you lose weight. If you eat or drink more calories than you burn, just sticking to diet soda may not do the trick.
8.Worst: Specialty Cocktails
Party drinks like margaritas or mai tais can be heavy on the calories, especially when you don’t make them yourself. The key with cocktails is to skip mixers like soda, juice, or premade cocktail blends. Instead, sip on something simple, like vodka and club soda. A 1-ounce serving of vodka ranges from 70 to 100 calories, and club soda doesn’t add any calories. If you need more flavor, try a spice-infused vodka.
