Stop Drinking Soda

 Stop Drinking Soda

The crisp, fizzy fizz, sweet taste, and the small amount of caffeinated soda it gives you are, hard to resist. You know it's bad for you, but it's hard to stop something that tastes that good. Well, stop drinking it, plain and simple. Soda harms your health and prevents you from losing more weight than you think.

Lemonade drinkers consume an incredible amount of calories every time they down a can. Those calories aren't good either, primarily coming from added sugars. In addition, you will not get any vitamins, minerals or quality carbohydrates from lemonades. In fact, you are filling your body with chemicals that can lead to tooth decay, diabetes, and poor bone health. And don't think you can get away with drinking diet soda, even if it doesn't contain any calories. Indeed, studies have shown that diet soda drinkers are more likely to be obese or overweight. 

So how do you stop drinking soda? When you're forced to eat, drink, or do something every day of your life, it can be hard to break the habit. If you use a few of the tips below, you should be well on your way to cutting soda out of your life.

Count your calories:

 If you throw away cans of soda like it's a cure for cancer, you might be surprised how many calories you're actually consuming just from soda. The best way to do this is to download a calorie counter app if you don't feel like writing it down every time you drink a soda. These free refills pack on the calories really fast.

Switch to unsweetened tea:

If you are not a coffee drinker, unsweetened green tea or black tea can be a great source of caffeine. If you're not a tea purist and need a little extra flavor, try mixing in fresh lemon juice and a little stevia to sweeten the tea. Remember to stay away from artificial sweeteners!
