The adverse effects of Consuming Soft Drinks are not any secret yet consumption remains steady. Don't get me wrong, it isn't nearly as bad as smoking cigarettes or other toxic drugs.
Regardless, there are some pretty eye opening facts about Soft Drinks that need to be put out in the open. For example, many studies have shown that obesity in America is caused from consuming approximately 100 calories over the recommended amount. Eliminating one can a day from a typical diet lowers your caloric intake by approximately 160 calories (typical amount of calories per can).
Besides the extra calories, Soft drinks contain a large amount of unhealthy sugars and can lead to diabetes or other unhealthy/fatal diseases.
Although it sounds easy, I know that many people are addicted (I was in this category once). If you are addicted to the "bubbly" feeling of the Carbonated Drinks, there are many non-sugary, carbonated drinks on that market that can be used as a substitute. If caffeine is the issue, Green Tea is an excellent substitute that actually slightly increase your metabolism, thus increases calorie burning!
This simple elimination will yield visible weight loss within weeks. A total of 15 lbs. (approximate) is lost by just not Consuming Soft drinks. Not bad eh?
