Diet Soda Still Shown To Be Helpful in Weight-loss

February 24, 2012

Good news diet soda drinkers! Another study has shown that your choice to switch to diet soda was a smart one in the weight loss battle. 

The study, conducted at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, researchers randomly assigned 318 overweight adults to one of three groups: one that replaced sugary drinks with water; one that substituted with diet beverages; and one that was given weight-loss advice and could make diet changes of their choice. After six months, all three groups lost four or five pounds, on average. However, those consuming diet beverages had a greater calorie reduction and there was a decrease in calories from food intake as well.

Still haven't made the switch to diet soda? Read our newest release for more info on the study.

Finally! Contrast to soda.gourmetrecipe.com...

I knew soda HAS to have some helpful good effects too...unlike what was pointed out on soda.gourmetrecipe.com. Of course when you have too much it would really have a bad effect but so long as I keep my consumption moderate then it should be fine. I'm a soda lover and I'm so glad for this information! :)
