Weekend Challenge

It's sad that even a health-conscious restaurant chain like Subway offers drink sizes comparable to a 7-Eleven Big Gulp. Their X-Large drink contains 40 oz. That's big enough to hold up to 620 calories and up to 160 grams of sugar.

Many people give up soda and find that that change alone leads to weight loss and smaller waists. But if weight loss isn't enough to get you motivated, how about this study on the numerous negative effects of soda, particularly for women:

JUST SAY NO TO SODA

(Yup, there's that Type 2 Diabetes again.)

So your weekend challenge ... (pretty obvious at this point, no?) ... NO SODA! This isn't a "see if you can do it" kind of challenge, because there isn't a single person on this planet who couldn't abstain from soda for 48 hours. Rather, it's a "see if you feel a difference" challenge. Notice the minor changes, and imagine what changes you might see if that weekend became a week, and if that week became a month, and so on.

As usual, I'd love to hear your reactions and discoveries. Email me @ theveganmale@gmail.com.
