How to lose weight

The relations between drinks and the catch of weight are the object of many studies and controversy. Is alcohol so harmful for the line? Are sodas responsible for the world epidemic of obesity? Does milk make lose? Is it necessary to drink mineral water during a diet? The specialists answer your questions.

Of course, the catch of weight generally results from bad dietary habits.
But which is the influence of drinks on the pounds?

Calories with the straw

Many drinks contain calories. But do they make vary the total catch of calories? Apparently yes. The sweetened drinks would be even very harmful for the balance! Indeed, several studies showed that the organization “did not see” these calories! Thus, one thought before by drinking a sweetened drink, one ate less thereafter, as well as the fact of taking an entry cuts you the desire of taking a dessert. It of it is nothing! The drinks don’t seem to have any effect on satiety. In fact the calories of drinks are added to the calories of the meals and always count moreover!

Alcohol and soda

Among drinks most often blamed, alcohol and sodas are in first line. However, they do not have the same impact:

- Alcohol is certainly very heating: it brings 7 Kcal per gram. Besides it represents on average 5,6 % of the energy contributions at the man and 2,6 % at the woman. However, of the French studies showed that there did not exist correlation between the weight and the catch of alcoholic drinks. There would exist even among women a negative correlation! Those who drink alcohol moderately are thinner than the others. But that would be related to a particular lifestyle than for a physiological purpose of alcohol!

- Sodas and the sweetened drinks are more alarming. Sugar brings approximately 4 Kcal per gram. However certain studies showed that the more important consumption is, the more the stoutness increases. Other studies confirmed the risk of obesity related to the consumption of soda. This risk would be increased by 1,6 for each glass moreover! That is all the more alarming as the consumption of soda does not cease increasing in France, as well in the adult in the child!

To drink milk to lose?

For a few years, the dairy products have seemed avoided a new virtue: that to support the weight loss! Indeed, calcium that they contain, is good for the bones and it would be also good for the figure! A study thus showed that, in women or one controlled the energy contributions, a strong consumption of calcium supported the weight loss, whereas it was increased at those who consumed little of it! Another study showed that a hypocaloric diet was much more effective if it contained dairy products. That allowed in particular a better loss of grease on the top of the body. This mineral would act by supporting the oxidation of the lipids and by inhibiting their synthesis, via the vitamin D and of the parathyroidal hormone. Admittedly, it is necessary to confirm this role of calcium by more important studies.

Water for the diet?

These properties of calcium made wonder the mineral water manufacturers about the utility to drink a water rich in this element at the time of a diet. Indeed, certain studies show that this mineral would have a as good biodisponibility in water as in milk! One knows thus that it would be good for the bones, than it comes from one or other.
