Solutions
for Weight Gain
Due to High Calorie
Beverages
High calorie beverages may indeed be the reason
for Dieter Susie's
weight gain. She
happens to love
cola and currently
enjoys three small
cans throughout
the day while at
work.
The
total calories for
those three small
cans of soda equal
about 450 calories
- empty calories
at that. Although
we would be the
first to agree that
diet sodas cannot
match the full flavor
of regular sodas,
regular sodas cannot
match the low calories
found in diet sodas.
At
this point, Susie
must ask herself,
"How much do
I want to lose this
weight? Do
I want to lose weight
more than I want
to drink my three
sodas each day?"
The
following suggestions
might help Susie
with her diet dilemma:
It may not be necessary
for Susie to banish
regular sodas completely
from her diet. She
might do well to
limit her regular
soda to one per
day. 150 calories
vs 450 calories.
Susie would do well
to incorporate water
into her daily diet.
A slice of orange,
lemon or lime on
the rim of the glass
adds beauty and
enjoyment.
Susie might try
some of the unique
diet beverages on
today's market such
as Crystal Light,
Kool-Aid that is
sugar-free, low
calorie fruit juices
and maybe even some
of the new diet
sodas.
