Trying to lose weight? Watch what you drink

• 75 percent of U.S. adults are projected to be overweight or obese by 2015
• Americans consume 150 to 300 more calories a day than 30 years ago
• Liquid calories are hard to keep track of, aren't as filling as regular food
• Cutting out 150 calories every day could save you from gaining 15 pounds a year

Bottom Line: Reducing liquid calorie intake, especially of sugar-sweetened drinks, leads to greater weight loss success.
