Is juice or cola making you fat?

How many of those would you feel comfortable eating each day? Not too many huh? 3 oz. glasses a day of soda or juice could be responsible for you gaining or keeping 30 pounds of fat in a year! Ever stop by the Jiffy gas station and pick up a big gulp? Ouch! That’s 566 calories per cup! You could eat an entire meal containing less. In my book, if I’m going to consume calories.....I’m at least going to chew!

So here’s the easy answer. Ditch the soda, juice and alcoholic beverages. Guzzle water, diet soda, Crystal Light drinks, or unsweetened tea instead. Another double edged treat to this whole matter is for those who delight in fruit juices.

By eating fruit instead, not only will you consume less calories on the whole and increase the amounts of actual vitamins and nutrients you receive from the fruit, but fruit is so fibrous and filling, you will crave less junk food. If you’re looking to drop some weight and aren’t yet willing to clean up your actual eating habits.....at least clean up your drinking habits!
