Energy balance

Regular consumption of low/no calorie sweetened beverages (LNCSB) is a common and effective strategy for weight loss maintenance, as it helps individuals control total calorie intake without increasing hunger or subsequent food intake.

If you are trying to maintain weight loss, drinking low/no calorie sweetened beverages (like diet soda, diet coffee, or unsweetened tea) is a valid and common strategy. It helps you reduce total calories without making you hungrier. Focus on replacing sugary drinks with these options or water, as successful maintainers do.
