We’re so excited! One of our bloggers have decided to share her very own Spring fitness tips to help you get ready for the summer!
First Class Fashionista Fitness Tip #1: Cutting Out the Soda
Okay Fashionistas, our first fitness tip is a simple lifestyle change that can help you easily shed those pounds and save you tons of money as well—Cut out the soft drinks! This is a not another one of those “fad” diets. It is a simple but difficult task, especially for those soda lovers out there, but a great tip for the Fashionista who wants to look good.
According to online documents, Americans have begun drinking more and more soda and eating more fast food in the past ten years! Vending machines filled with our “liquid candy” are flooding office buildings, schools, grocery stores, amusement parks, pools and even our parks! Americans spend about $66 billion on carbonated soft drinks, more than any other country in the world! Studies have shown that the average American spends about $350 dollars on soda a year!
Not only is soda devoid of nutrition, costly, extremely high in calories and filled with simple sugars, but is also extremely bad for our teeth and waistline. The simple sugar and acid combination in these bottles of soda eats away at our enamel allowing for tooth decay and those lovely cavities. Studies have shown that soda may be major contributor to the obesity many Americans are facing.
Save your teeth, your waistline, and pocket books and take this soda free challenge with First Class Fashionista! Feel free to share your experiences or concerns.

It’s all according the the buzz…
I thought diet sodas were alright? Don’t they have 0 calories and no sugar? I hope so cause I still love the taste!

Great advice! Soda is hard to give up, but when you see all the damage it can do to your body over time, it will lose its appeal! Try lemon water or iced green tea instead. Thanks for the info!

All sodas are bad for you in my opinion, even the diet kind. If soda can eat the corrosion off of a battery, just imagine what it does to your insides if consumed on a regular basis! I know we all love the fizzy stuff, but I personally think one can a month should be the limit. Herbal teas with stevia are a good replacement if you crave something sweet to drink.
I wish I had stuck with my plans in the spring to lose some weight… we’re already in August. Darn!
Bec on Diet Sodas
Diet soda is even worse than regular one. Some studies were conducted where they came to the conclusion that the chemicals they use to substitute for sugar mess up our metabolism and brain and therefore make us eat more. So I guess it’s important to mention that all sodas (including diet sodas) make us gain weight.
Soda is very hard to give up but after this I’m definitely going to give them up!
Fantastic article on how to reach that ideal weight everyone has always wanted!
Really fantastic article on how you should train your body to lose that weight you want to lose, but the thing i like most about this article is how we all really need to stop eating and drinking the wrong things, and tips on what is healthier choices.
I agree with Christina, as consuming too much of the good old pop can ruin not only your teeth but your stomach lining as well, not to mention it packs that unwanted belly fat. Soda does more harm than good, and in my opinion should just be left alone all together.
