Sugary Drinks (2/20)

List item

You need to avoid cold beverages such as Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Dr Pepper, Mountain Dew and other similar brands.

A 12-ounce can of regular Coke contains 39 grams of total sugar, which is about 9 1/3 teaspoons of sugar. That is a seriously unhealthy amount of sugar to digest. Not only will this be processed extremely quickly and turned into fat, but, you’ll also face a sugar crash during the day.

Sugary drinks can easily be considered one of the unhealthiest foods you can consume and don’t think you can get away with the sugar-free version, these are just as bad.

Sugar-free drinks are loaded with artificial sweeteners which trick your body into thinking you’ve just consumed sugar. This, in turn, prepares your body to digest said sugar and either store it or use it to expend energy, however, when your system realizes the sugar is nowhere to be found, it can potentially convince you to drink more or have you craving a candy bar.
