‘Most drinks contain a lot of calories in the form of sugar and alcohol.

So if you want to lose fat while being able to enjoy a glass, make sure to pick low-calorie ingredients for your drink.’

He added that viewers should remember that just because the drinks are low in calories, doesn’t mean you should ‘drink more.’
