Yes, fizzy drinks are expanding your waistline, destroying your health and rushing you toward an early death. No, switching to diet won’t work either. Here’s how to finally quit your habit for good.
My drinking habit continued into uni, where I powered through hangovers and all-nighters not with coffee but with Diet Coke, and slept with 2-litre bottles of orange fizzy drink by my bed in case I needed a nighttime nip.
One of my happiest days, besides the birth of my child, was the introduction of Coke Zero, a kilojoule-free beverage that tasted like the real thing – in a cool black can, marketed toward men. Sold! (Soft drink manufacturers want you to think that some varieties are healthier for you than others. They’re not. More on that later.)
Too ashamed to keep 2-litres by the bed after I married, I had cases of cans delivered to my work office. I bought myself a Coca-Cola mini-fridge (and one for an employee). And if you Google Image-search my name, you’ll find a photo of me at my desk with a 2-litre bottle of Diet Coke and a can next to it.
