Sugary Sodas and Weight Gain
Small daily choices can make a difference.
Added sugar adds up
Sugary soft drinks can add substantial calories without making you feel as full as solid food. Regularly consuming more calories than your body uses can contribute to weight gain. The exact effect varies by the quantity consumed and the rest of a person’s diet.
An easy substitution
Replacing a sugary soda with plain sparkling water removes that drink’s added sugar and calories. You can also customize the flavor with fresh ingredients. Remember that fruit juice contains natural sugars, even when no refined sugar is added.
A practical approach
Compare labels, watch portions, and choose beverages that fit your needs. Rio Soda lets you prepare drinks at home and decide what to add, rather than relying on the ingredients in a premixed soda.
