When you're thirsty, you reach for the nearest beverage at hand. And most of the time, for many people, that drink is a bottle of soda. Do you know how many teaspoons of sugar reside in the typical can of soda? 12 teaspoons! Imagine loading up your coffee with 12 teaspoons of sugar!
Soda goes down easy, and you can drink two or three cans a day without even thinking about it. The average American drinks 52 gallons of the stuff every year. Soft drinks account for—get this—one out of every 10 calories we consume!
But did you know that cutting just 2 bottles of soda out of your life a day could cut a pound of fat off your body every 12 days? Cut those "empty calories" out of your diet, and over a few months, that can turn into significant weight loss.
A recent study has shown that the majority of people who have decided to make cutting back on simple carbohydrates, like the sugar in soda, a key part of their strategy to lose 20, 50, even 150 pounds, have shown tremendous success.
The secret of weight-loss success—and we've seen this proven over and over—is eliminating foods with empty calories, like soda.
