Hi,
Just read an interesting statistic in Health News Weekly today. If you stopped drinking soda what would your weight loss be?
It is estimated that the average person in the US drinks 600 twelve ounce sodas a year. At an average of 40 grams of sugar per drink that is a lot of extra sugar per year.
Each gram of sugar has 4 calories. So you – as an average American – are drinking 96000 calories from soda a year.
Since 3500 calories = 1 pound that is 27 pounds of extra weight you are gaining every year from sugar. And that is just from soda.
You can easily double or triple that amount when you count all the rest of the sugar you eat.
Is it any wonder that it is so easy to gain weight.
And so hard to take it off.
So does that mean if you stop drinking soda you could lose 27 pounds of weight in a year?
No.
Losing weight doesn’t work that easily.
While you can lose 27 pounds in a year, you have to do more than just stop drinking soda.
Whenever you reduce your calories, your metabolism also slows down. This is just a natural survival response.
Fortunately, there are ways around this. The easiest way is to increase your movement.
Whether you start walking, riding a bike, doing calesthenics, or weight lifting – everything helps.
Maybe you won’t lose 27 pounds, but you just might lose more!
So that is it in a nutshell.
Increase your movement, cut out your soda and the weight loss will come.
Thanks,
Mike Val
