Fact or Wive's Tale?

Question

Is it true that if you cut caffinated and sugared drinks: pop, iced tea and coffee: that it will help in the weight loss process?

Answer 1

For me it wasn't the caffeinated drinks, it was the sugar. When I cut down the sugar and started exercising regularly I lost about 10 pounds. Cutting down on the caffeinated drinks is important when you suffer from high blood pressure or liver problems, but it's not a decisive factor for weight loss.

According to the World Health Organization a diet low in energy-dense foods that are high in saturated fats and sugars, together with an active lifestyle are among the key measures to combat obesity and other chronic diseases.
But it's not only the pop and the iced tea, it's also the white bread and the rice, what I'd like to call to heavy carbs. Carbohydrates are absorbed in your stomach and they are converted into sugars. Eating meals high in carbohydrates or sugars leads the body to do several things. Some of the sugars are immediately converted to energy while the rest of the sugars are converted to fat. The sugar-to-fat conversion occurs two ways and you can read more about sugar-induced fat formation on the website below.

Answer 2

Many people ask me how they can slim down. I recommend that people eat right and exercise. However, if they would like a little "help", I suggest using natural Hoodia (it's important to note that not all Hoodia works well, even if the bottle says "pure" or "standard").

The Hoodia sold at http://www.browneyea.info/free-diet-pills.php is in my opinion the best Hoodia on the market. It's pure, has no side effects, and they give you a free 15 day sample (there is a $7.99 shipping and handling charge, but they also give you free recipe and diet guides). Fantastic results have been seen with this particular Hoodia.

Answer 3

Very true.

For sodas the problem is the type of sugar; refined and processed glucose. It adds to weight gain and rots your teeth.

Caffeinated products cause you to lose water as a dieuretic, but not lose fat and can cause stress which increases food intake.

Seriously, there IS a magic pill that will help you lose weight, and at the same time make you healthier, improve the appearance of your skin and hair, and keep your kidneys functioning normally. It's also been proven to keep you heart-healthy and potentially reduces the chances for cancer as well! It's called water.

Answer 4

I have lost 10 pounds by cutting out all soda, sweet tea, and junk in my coffee. I only drink black coffee, un-sweet tea, and at least 8, eight ounce glasses of water daily. I avoid anything that is nutritionally "bankrupt", and stick to fresh veggies, fruit, and lean meat.

Answer 5

Fact, alot of those sugary drinks give you an insulin spike. Insulin is responsible for increasing the mobilization of nutrients in the body. But if your body's fuel (glycogen) is completely replenished guess how those excess "nutrients" get mobilized: as fat stores in the body.
