Need another reason to stop drinking so much soda throughout the day? According to the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition "people who drank one liter of cola a day gained 31% more abdominal fat than those who drank the same number of calories' worth of low-fat milk." As I've suggested before (and often suggest to my personal training clients and group fitness classes): add fresh fruit or veggies (such as cucumber) to your water for that touch of flavor. There are also flavor drops sold in stores (such as Mio) that you can add to your water. Another suggestion: drink flavored Seltzer water (my favorite flavor lately is mandarin orange.)
Time to kick that soda habit and do your body good!
