That wonderful fizzy sweet drink that everyone loves - soda. You see it all over the place in many forms: Coca Cola, Pepsi, Mountain Dew, 7 UP, Sprite, and many others. A lot of people drink pop on a daily basis - the unfortunate part is that it will slow down the chance of fat loss…or reverse it. The number one reason is because of the sugar content.

Also, for each pop that you have make sure to drink a full glass of water right after.
The reason why you don’t just jump into zero pops a day is because you will most likely have headaches caused by the withdrawal of caffeine. Slowly lowering your intake will give your body time to detox the toxins in your body (which cause the headaches)
