Why Sugar-loaded Drinks Make You Fat

Researchers from the Penn State University made an interesting observation. They determined that replacing the water drink with diet soda or regular, sugar-loaded soda during lunch doesn’t diminish the amount of food being consumed.

In simpler words if you had a glass of water with your lunch meal you still eat as much as you would if you had diet or regular carbonated beverage. This comes to show that since the amount of calories consumed is relatively the same you always end up consuming far more calories with the regular soda due to the sugar content in it.

On the flip side there is a large number of people, even in the bodybuilding and fitness world, who have gotten themselves in the habit of drinking diet soda thinking that this way they are consuming less of the food. Well, the observation of these scientists shows that’s not exactly truth.

So, do your body a favor. Stick to regular water. It’s the healthiest possible choice and it won’t make you fat.
