Eliminating the empty calories of soda from your diet
Research proves that soda is the number one contributor to
obesity for children. With over 450 different kinds on the
market, there's a lot to choose from.
An average soda contains around 150 calories. Since the average
sodaholic consumes two of these per day that adds up to about 25
extra pounds per year that you're adding to your body.
Why do we crave soda? Because the sugar used in it, high
fructose syrup, has an interesting side effect. It fails to stop
the production of a hormone called ghrelin. Ghrelin stimulates
the appetite. So our body doesn't get the signal to stop
drinking.
Besides calories, you have to look at sugar content. Most sodas
hover around 35-40 grams of sugar. There 's also the high carb
rate. This promotes sugar cravings which lead to junk food and
more carbs.
Soda is also a diuretic, which causes you to be thirsty and,
ultimately, drink even more soda.
The best advice is to kick the soda habit. Replacing soda with
water will not only cut cravings, but allow you to lose weight.
