The average man guzzles two hundred gallons each year. Approximately 34 gallons of beer, 53 gallons or soda, 24 gallons of milk, and a whole lot of gallons of other stuff.
You just have to make a few adjustments to the types of drinks you're already pouring down every day and you'll lose weight. For instance, juice with pulp instead of pulp-free or green tea instead of regular.
Do it all and you're gulping 35,456 fewer calories in 4 weeks or 10 pounds. So drink away those pounds.
Trade in your Tang, Sunny D, and pulp-free OJ for some juice with extra pulp.
Researchers at Purdue University found that people stayed full longer when they drank thick drinks than when they drank thin ones, even when calories, temperatures, and amounts were equal.

Mid-morning Break Drink
Tea is a natural fat burner, but not just any tea. You need to buy the stuff marked "green."A Swiss study found that substances in green tea called catechin polyphenols can significantly increase your body's metabolism of fat so you burn the stuff at a faster rate.
Examples of pre-brewed green drinks are Snapple, SoBe, or Arizona, but they're filled with sugar and average more than 200 calories a bottle. Look for Honest Tea brand instead. It has just 34 calories per bottle. Or just buy tea bags and brew it yourself.

Canned Lunch
Meal replacements really work. In a study presented at the annual meeting of the North American Association for the Study of Obesity, researchers found that regularly drinking meal replacements increased a man's chances of losing weight and keeping it off for longer than a year.
"Men trying to lose weight need about 600 calories per meal, with 25 percent of those calories from protein, 25 percent from fat, and 50 percent from carbohydrates," says Liz Ward, R.D., a Massachusetts nutrition consultant. You can get about that with this drink:
Strawberry Power Blast
1 c 1 percent milk
2 tsp peanut butter
1 medium banana
1 1/2 c frozen unsweetened strawberries
2 tsp sugar
2 ice cubes or 1/2 c crushed ice
Directions: Place all ingredients in a blender or food processor. Blend on high speed until smooth (about 4 to 5 minutes). Drink immediately.
Per serving: 608 calories, 25 grams (g) protein, 106 g carbohydrates, 11 g total fat

Afternoon Indulgence
When you are craving something thick and creamy head to White Castle. Its regular chocolate shake is just 220 calories, which is not bad compared to a small McDonald's chocolate shake, which has 360 calories or Burger King with 305 calories per small shake. Dairy Queen beat everyone with the most fattening shake going: A small DQ chocolate shake packed with 560 calories.

A Soda For The Ride Back Home
The colder a diet soda is when you're drinking it, the less you'll notice the difference in taste. If you hate diet soda but want to start drinking it, your can try filling your cup three-fourths of the way with regular soda and topping it off with diet, then gradually adjust the ratio until you can wean yourself off regular altogether.Calories saved in 4 weeks: 2,024
Evening Beer
Lite beer is a good choice, unless you have a problem with not tasting anything like the real thing.
Unfortunately, a bottle of Sam Adams or Heineken can set you back around 170 calories.
Here are some better regular beer choices:
