Diet Soda not much healthier than Soda

If you are trying to lose weight and have substituted regular soda with diet soda, it most likely won’t make much of a difference.

Studies show that drinking diet pop actually causes people to gain weight. There are many good substitutes for pop instead of diet pop such as tea. Tea is a good drink that is not carbonated and doesn’t have aspartame in it. It is also very versatile in flavors and there are many different types of it such as green, white, and black tea. Tea is even better if you add berries, lemons or sugar to add flavor. My personal favorite way to drink tea is sweetened and some of the best sweet tea is in the south at a place called McAlister’s.

Instead of using diet soda to lose weight try eating healthy food that will you give you the energy for exercising and doing fun activities. Through incorporating healthy eating habits into a healthy lifestyle it helps people to lose weight and keep it off, not just by a quick fix, like diet soda, but through a complete change in lifestyle.
