Soda and weight loss

Did you know that you could lose 10 lbs. in one year just be replacing one  8oz. soda a day with water.  An 8oz. soda has approximately 100 calories.  3500 calories = 1 lb. 

100 calories per day x 365 days  = 36,500 calories per year

Divide 36,500  by 3500 (which is 1 calorie)  and you get 10.42.

That is the 10 lbs. you will lose. 

You can use this same formula with foods, fruit juice, wine, beer, a cookie, etc.   By eliminating 200 calories per day you will lose 20 lbs.  in one year. 

These are small changes in your daily diet that will give you great results.
