Thats exactly right.
I put sugar in my coffee and enjoy a coke or sprite a few times a week, and I'm not overweight in any way.
However everyone I know who is overweight, drinks diet Pepsi and similar. A few of my friends Moms are easily 200 lbs, and go through at least a dozen diet Pepsi's a week. It's almost like its addictive.
I tasted it a few times, and its awful. It seems sweet at first but leaves a bad aftertaste. I see why anyone likes this crap.
If you want to drop a few pounds, do this:
- Swap out the soft drinks with water.
- Set a timer on your computer to remind you to get up off your ass every hour and walk around.
- Start your day with a walk or a jog or a bike ride. You don't need to win a race - just get outside. The sunshine will let your skin make some nice fresh vitamin D for you as bonus.
- Use smaller plates for your food. Smaller plates fit less food.
I promise you'll drop a few pounds and feel better.
