Health and Wellness #10: Calorie Considerations

Consider this– a 32-ounce soft drink contains 400 calories on average. If you drink 1 per day, that’s 2,800 calories per week. Some gas stations offer 44-ounce cups, or 3,850 calories per week. One pound is equivalent to 3,500 calories. Cutting out pop alone may result in a loss of around 1 pound per week! And your body will benefit in so many ways from having less sugar or artificial sweeteners, fewer chemicals, and dyes!

Here are some inspiring stories from people who decided to stop drinking soft drinks: https://www.nbcnews.com/better/pop-culture/quitting-soda-was-first-step-karla-pankow-s-100-pound-ncna936761. The benefits they noticed didn’t stop at weight loss.
