Many people make the switch from regular beverages to diet drinks in hopes that it will lead to weight loss. The problem is that many people wind up letting their minds run wild and believe that the reduction in sugar is permission to eat other bad foods!

Low-fat diets
Remember, calories in vs calories out! That should be far more concerning than low fat, especially since there are plenty of good fats that we need! Even low carb is a more important aspect to look at. However, once again, it’s the sugar that gets added into these diets that is the real downer! You’ve probably noticed a pattern, stay away from the sugar!
