Drinking soda and working out?

So I eat yogurt for breakfast, but it''s so hard to get through classes without a dr pepper ;-(. If I go work out after classes, am I just wasting my time by only burning off the soda? I also walk as often as possible and take te stairs instead of the elevator in campus, an I walk my dog for 30 minutes 5 nights a week. Anyone have any ideas? I''ve tried to stop, but it''s hard. I do drink a little water here and there throughout the day, and I''m trying to drink more.

Why Am I Not Losing Weight? Discover The Top Mistakes People Mostly Make With Weight Loss

Hi,

Drinking soda is the really big no-no. It''s a combination of diet and exercise that you need for steady and maintainable weight loss.

Medically there''s little doubt that excess weight is responsible for or a contributor to a huge number of ailments - many deadly. That makes it important to keep your weight under control.

There''s only one way to lose weight - and that''s to take in less calories than you use. If you do that you WILL shed those unwanted pounds. You don''t even have to exercise, although a suitable exercise program will both help you drop your weight and provide other health benefits too.

But be careful. You must continue to eat the right foods if your health and vitality are not to suffer due to your nutritional requirements not being satisfied.

Eating too little will not help at all. Your body will go into “starvation mode”. In the first place it will certainly have an effect on your health more generally and secondly your metabolism will adjust and lay on every possible ounce of fat out of what you do eat. That’s in part why crash diets don’t work. As soon as you relent on the diet your changed metabolism keeps piling on the fat and you’re soon right back where you started!

There''s a good article that sets out the basics very clearly on www.fitnessweightwellness.com. There''s also a short email series - and there''s no charge for it.

Good luck.
