Soda, Pop, Cola: The Secret Diet Devil

According to The Center for Science in the Public Interest, soft drinks are the single biggest source of calories in the American diet, providing about 7 percent of calories. One can of soda pop contains between 10-12 teaspoons of refined sugar and around 150-180 calories per serving, so a few soft drinks can quickly add up to a good portion of your daily calorie intake. Some people drink more calories than they eat in a day’s time.

Cutting out soft drinks may be an easy way to help you lose some extra weight. Try switching to water with lemon, unsweetened iced tea, or an occasional spritzer made with a touch of juice (juice contains a lot of calories, so use just a taste) and carbonated water.
What about the diet soda dilemma? I believe people are fooling their self into thinking they are doing good in drinking diet soda. Sure, they are cutting calories by drinking diet soda, but could be damaging their bodies even more in other ways by have diet items in their diet plan. I will hit on this more next time.
