Are you pouring on the pounds?

A New York campaign has just been launched to limit consumption of fizzy drinks.
Read it.... Scotland is second only to the US in obesity rates.

Clearly it is not just me banging on about fizzy drinks. Fundamentally I suppose I feel that pop is for children, who need the sugar while they are growing rapidly. And we adults just don't need these sugar-filled drinks - and they really are sugar-filled. You wouldn't put 10 teaspoons of sugar in your tea, would you? Would you? Check the next can of pop that you buy. Most are around 150-200 calories. A teaspoon of sugar is 16 calories. Find out more here!

Most of Americans increase in weight over the last 30 years comes from adding these sugary drinks to their diet. Since making a change to other drinks is relatively easy, here is a way to reduce your weight with very little effort indeed. Give it a try!
