| Diet Soda and Drink Water |
Colorado , USA . Excessive consumption of soda is not good for health . This is the reason why manufacturers of soda diet sodas create variants to provide an alternative for those who do not want get overweight. But the question is, is it helpful?
Dr. Jim Hill of the Anschutz Health and Wellness Center , University of Colorado and designed a study to find out the answer . 300 adult participants were included in this study and they split into two groups , the first group was asked to drink diet soda and the other only allowed to drink water . Each participant on average weighs about 91 kg at the beginning of the study.
Then, both groups were taught the techniques to lose weight is an intensive, one of which is recorded what participants ate in a journal.
" The group that only drinks a drink water just lose weight by 4.1 kg in the previous 12 weeks , but for those who are allowed to keep drinking diet soda turns an average loss of 5.9 kg in the same period , " said Dr. Hill as quoted by CNN.
Dr. Hill was confuse to explain this phenomenon because of experiments done , most of those who successfully lose weight are those who consume the sweetener without calories .So why do those who consume diet soda are even more successful ? " The biggest reason is because they do 'tasks' that much easier . Reducing calories ( with drinking water ) at the same exercise routine that takes incredible determination, but determination and willingness was limited. , But when to stop eating something that had previously been routinely consumed , may be more difficult , "said Dr. Hill.
And obviously researchers do not need to check the consumption of calories the participants , because they are forbidden to touch diet soda tend to consume more calories during the 12 -week trial . That is why the participants are allowed to keep drinking diet soda is more successful at losing weight than those who are forced to fasting soda.
It's just from the same study , Dr. Hill to answer whether people who want to stop drinking diet soda or forward all that weight is really down . " What is clear is that artificial sweetened drinks do not encourage weight loss , " he said .This is consistent with the statement of one of the participants named Kristi Norton . Women who love to drink diet soda is included in the group that was asked to stop drinking soda during the experiment . It turns out that the weight drops of up to 5.4 kg ." But just by drinking water , I can feel the benefits up to 1000 percent . I feel much better , my energy increased , and I feel healthier . And I can distinguish ( effect ) when I drink diet soda , " he said.
So, which one you choose? diet soda, or drink water?
