If you stop drinking pop will you lose weight?

Question

I drink about 3 to 4 cans of pop average every day. If I stop drinking pop will this help me lose weight. I just have the problem in my stomach area is where I gained alot of weight and trying to lose it by exercising a little and drinking water, just wondering if pop would help lose a couple lbs and about how much?

Pepsi 150 Calories 12 oz can or Rc I think its 160 Calories or something like that 12 oz can.

How much weight did you lose and how long did it take to lose that weight after you stopped drinking pop>

I am not over weight but since I been eatting alot of junk food and drinking pop I gained alot of weight back, I got sick alot a year and half ago from the hot summer and got down to 130 lbs, and then gained alot of weight back in the last year and half I weight about 150 lbs my height is 5'8, only thing I am worrying about is my stomach, thats where you can tell where I gained the weight!!!

Answer 1

Depends on what you do in it's place. If you stop drinking pop and start drinking sweet iced tea then you aren't accomplishing much. The important fact is that most people that end up fat do it by consuming very little extra calories a day. Like in the neighborhood of 50-100 calories a day. It takes years to get fat but people are persistent when it comes to GETTING fat. So if you cut out 3 or 4 cans of pop a day (~600 calories) that should definitely get you in the losing weight category. The tough part is going to be not substituting any other calories. Good luck.

Hi!
We need to burn about 3500 calories more than we consume in order to lose a pound. If we assume that you haven't been recently gaining any weight with your current eating habits...and if you cut out the pop, you will be eliminating about 500 calories. If you exercise on top of that, the chances are good you will lose about 1 pound a week. If you have been gaining weight with your current diet, though, you might stop gaining weight but you might not lose. However, if you cut out the pop and add some exercise, you will most likely have more energy and feel better, so you are a winner either way. E-diets and weight watchers are both good programs if you want any additional help with healthy eating.
