Yeah... Dropping soda alone can really help with weight loss! Here is some food for thought:

While there is no "recommended daily allowance" for sugar... most experts agree no more than 30-40g of processed sugar should be consumed daily. Look at the back of the soda you are getting ready to drink... remember a 20oz soda has 2.5 servings... that is going to make it hard to stay under 40g, isn't it!!

The short skinny (sorry for the pun) is this... basically your body uses fat and protien stores to power your body... well sugar is easier to burn and provides "better" fuel... the problem is if you are consuming more sugar ( and generally more fat) than your body can burn... guess what happens to the fat and sugar that can not be burned? Yep it gets stored, causing weight gain and a host of other health problems... cut the soda out... or at least switch to diet soda... drink plenty of water and go for a 20min walk everyday and you will be amazed at how quickly you lose body fat! Now that is a diet anyone can stick too!!
