Filler Up - Soda Plus More Soda Is Not In a Good Diabetes Diet

Diabetic beware. See if this makes sense to you.

Let’s cut right to the chase. I am so amazed by this tactic.

Did you ever wonder why we as a culture are gaining so much weight? And we are seeing more and more teenagers with weight issues. More and more fast food restaurants being built. What do most of them have in common? You got it. Lots of soda. Think about a diet that includes soda. Not plastic soda with artificial sweeteners. But soda with sugar

Check this out

Driving to your favorite Burger King or Wendy's or other fast food restaurant you start to think about what you will have to eat. Should I get the double burger or the salad? Should I start eating better today? As you enter the building your eyes transfix on those hanging in midair menus. You know the signs that state that if you purchase a bigger size you ONLY pay a few cents extra. Forget about that salad. That is for another day.

Here is the con. Can you see it coming?

That super sized meal sure looks good. All that added food and drink for a modest amount of coin. You are now the owner of a plastic glass that you can use over and over again to refill on soda. Did you win first prize?

You have paid the price. That is costing you your health. This diabetes diet is one that will keep you unfit.

More soda equals potentially more diabetes and other problems. These fast food restaurants are giving the beverage away to lure you and me into their stores. It is such a bargain and who doesn't like a sale?

Bigger is not always better. Especially when it comes to fast food, and huge drinks. Could the super sizing of America be partly responsible for outbreak in the diabetes disease? Maybe just maybe.

Hopefully this article made some sense and your view about soda and super sizing meals hits home for you.

I have been the super sizer. I could not get enough soda or fries to eat. Maybe those were two of the reasons I ended up as a diabetic. But I am learnig to eat in ways that will help me. If learning from someone that has been a diabetic for over 19 years and lost over 100 pounds makes sense to you then listen to The Diabetic Warriors MP3. It's free and it provides some practical steps to controlling diabetes.
