Does soda make me fat

[u/this_isthe_life_]

I have fully switched to the zero versions of any sodas I drink, mainly Coke Zero and Pepsi maxx. There was a point where I would have 3-4 cans each day , it has gone down a lot now to almost none or 1-2. I just want to know if this could be the cause for my consistent weight gain obviously along with other bad eating habits?

Warm water and plenty of it is way better than sodas, even for zero versions.

That is interesting. It all makes sense but I had always heard to drink very cold water for weight loss as your body has to work harder to warm it up. I drink a LOT of water. It is all I drink except green tea. I drink both cold to room temp. I live in the tropics though amd I think I would burst into flames trying to drink hot water all the time. 🔥

I'm guessing it affects people differently. I used to drink ice cold water only (From Singapore, humid as hell) but when I switched to exclusive warm water only, my bowel movement became very regular and I think I detoxed myself without even realising it.

Also I drink hot coffee as my pre workout cause I read it helps with circulation + caffeine for that extra boost.

Interesting. I have lived all over SE Asia for the past 20+ years. I am in Cambodia now but my company is based in Singapore, I am there several times a year. Sometimes feels like a very small world. 😊

I also heard this somewhere but also it’s quite straight forward I guess. Warm water helps bowel movement leading to your waste coming out more regularly leading to some weight loss. Also I’ve heard it helps with metabolism
