Weight loss is not a cakewalk; however, it isn't always a bland and boring affair. If you are willing to experiment, you can make yourself some exciting and healthy treats on a daily basis. In winters, you tend to put on weight quick and it is equally difficult to shed it as your metabolism is not at its peak. Winter is also the time when you want to indulge in all things good and greasy (Read: gajar ka halwa), but we all know the impact those cravings have on our waistline. While you are making necessary changes to your food preferences, make sure you do the same with your beverages too. Liquid calories obtained from beverages like hot chocolate, aerated sodas can take your weight loss goals for a ride. But thankfully, there are many healthful and low-calorie winter drinks that you can include in your diet.
Here Are Some Low Calorie Winter Drinks For Weight Loss
1. Beetroot Juice
The pink juice made with winter favourite beetroot is an excellent addition that you can make to your weight loss diet. Bollywood's heartthrob Alia Bhatt swears by the same, here's proof! A 100 ml serving of beetroot juice contains only 35 calories. You can mix other fruits and veggies to the juice to spruce it up too, like carrots and apples.

4. Cinnamon Water
Cinnamon is an excellent winter spice you can use in your weight loss journey. Cinnamon is a good stimulator for insulin. If your insulin activity is effective, your body is able to metabolise sugar better, which prevents weight gain and also stave off risk of blood sugar spikes. Cinnamon water is also good for metabolism and acts as an appetite suppressant.
