Think about your beverages – because what's in your cup can make or break your diet.

A few wrong drink choices can trickle in more than 1,000 calories per day. Just eight ounces of orange juice contains 100 calories, a large skim milk caramel coffee drink has 380 calories, a 16-ounce soda has 200 calories, and a medium fruit smoothie is worth 340 calories. Shaving these extra daily drink calories can lead to almost a two-pound weight loss a week.

Though fluid needs vary from person to person, the Institute of Medicine recommends that women drink about nine glasses (72 ounces total) of fluid a day, and men about 12 1/2 glasses (100 ounces total).
