if i cut soda out of my life...how much weight do you think i would lose. because i only want to lose a little...like down to 140. since im not doing track in the spring...i really dont want to gain anything. because im not doing anything. (ive never been weight obsessed...and i never will be)
i drink about 4 sodas a week...maybe more.
i'm not overweight. im in the right range. im 5'7 and 144 lbs.
i dont want to cut soda out completely....just by cutting out.

Soda if your drinking diet alot of those have sodium which keeps you retaining water and you can drop 3-5 pounds just by drinking something with less sodium. Good rule of thumb drink 1/2 your body weight in water daily so 72 ozs they have great flavored water out these days.

I certainly have been ingesting approximately 2 liters an afternoon Pepsi for as long as i will remember. each time i attempt to end, i'm getting poor problems from caffeine withdrawal. only at the instant i found out that i could change Pepsi for unsweetened iced tea with lemon (yeah, it replaced right into a revelation because of the fact i actually concept i replaced into caught). My questioning is that i will slowly shrink my caffeine intake with tea, the place that may not an determination with soda. i'm hoping and pray I shed extra pounds. i'm not an over-eater, yet by way of the years i've got placed on the pounds besides. the only useful wrongdoer is Pepsi, so it somewhat is clever that i might shed extra pounds via removing the component that undemanding experience says is the main important contributor. To be completely honest, the caffeine problems have been so undesirable that however if i don't shed extra pounds (I extra clever!), i would be happy to not journey those problems lower back. i've got already elminated 60% of my caffeine intake devoid of withdrawal, so this would purely be a great step in direction of healthful residing.

Cutting out sodas is a good thing to do for your health. Substituting with "diet" sodas wont help your lose weight. There is research indicating consuming artificially sweetened foods also contributes to weight gain.
You should cut out sodas for you health for several reasons: Carbonated drinks are bad for athletes because the carbonation displaces the oxygen in your blood stream making it harder for you to breathe which is crucial for runners.
There is also research that was done in Great Britain that connects a commonly found ingredient in carbonated drinks to DNA damage. When you damage your DNA you leave yourself open to all sorts of health problems. If you just don't have this habit you will have a healthier life.

Cutting out regular soda (or switching to diet) would definitely help. But cutting out diet soda wouldn't help; you'd have to cut back on something else. Would it be enough to make 4 pounds' difference? Maybe, but you wouldn't see results for a while.

Soda is very high on sugar. So, if you stop drinking so much you might lose a maximum of 5 pounds but, it won't have drastic or immediate results.

4 sodas a week is hardly any at all. not drinking any at all will cause a slow weight loss. it depends on your height, age, bone structure, and present weight.
