Soft drinks (including soda, energy drinks, and coffee drinks) are a
huge source of calories in many people’s diets. One can of soda
contains between 10-12 teaspoons of sugar and around 150 calories, so a
few soft drinks can quickly add up to a good portion of your daily
calorie intake.
Switching to diet soda isn’t the answer either, as
studies suggest that it triggers sugar cravings and contributes to
weight gain. Instead, try switching to water with lemon, unsweetened
iced tea, or carbonated water with a splash of juice.
