Press Release Body = Recent studies from medical journals have warned the
calorie-conscious to look into a seemingly innocent perpetrator for adding empty
calories to their otherwise healthy diets. Sodas, whether diet or regular, are often
at fault for the reason why you can't shed that extra weight.
Fitness Trainers To Go nutritionist Anna Yuschek, MA, advises her clients to
dramatically limit the amounts of soda they consume, if they can't eliminate them
completely.
"Sodas are full of empty calories and sugar," says Yuschek. "A lot of the time what
people don't know is that even drinking a soda that has no calories in it can still
lead to obesity."
Yuschek attributes the reason for this as being the way that ingredients in the
sodas metabolize in the body. Fructose, a primary ingredient in many sodas, cannot
be broken down into useful energy. For this reason it is stored directly as fat -
regardless of the "diet" labels. If fact, Yuschek points out that fructose is found
most commonly in diet sodas and adds that some experts would argue that diet soft
drinks are more dangerous than regular-calorie sodas, as a direct result of their
ingredients.
A second reason for blaming sodas - especially diet sodas - for weight gain or
failure to lose weight - is a mentality.
"Diet sodas tend to have zero calories listed on the nutrition content so people
think that they can drink as many of them as they want," says Yuschek. When looking
to limit your soda intake, you don't necessarily have to quit cold turkey. Yuschek
tells her clients to gradually wean themselves off of their favorite beverages and
to find tasty substitutes, such as flavored water, natural fruit juices, or
Gatorade.
The next time you get a craving for Coke or a penchant for Pepsi, try sipping
carbonated water, or a new drink altogether. Chances are good that you will be
happily surprised at the results. Your body will thank you and you may end up with a
new drink of choice.
