I know that if you are someone that drinks soda everyday and you stop, that you will lose weight. If you were to substitute Kool-Aid for soda, would you still lose the weight or would you keep it on or gain more. I am wondering if the sugar doesn't turn back into calories like some people say it does and if I should just try and stick to water or juice. :confused:

Hi. I hate to disappoint you, but yes, sugar equals calories equals weight gain. The good news is though, you don't have to drink just plain water. Sugar-free kool-aid is one option, as well as the flavored low-cal drink mixes such as Crystal Lite. There is a water filter that also has the option of adding flavor to your water straight from the faucet. Also beware of artificial sweeteners, some scientist think that they confuse your body, and can contribute to weight gain. Keep all things in moderation. Good Luck!

It is best to stay away from both because they are loaed with unnatural chemicals. If you want to be healthy and fit and lose weight, cut out the processed foods. It is better for your body, teeth, and your overall health. Both options do have sugars and dyes that are not good for the body. Try drinking water with lemon squeezed into it, or maybe an organic juice? I know that making healthy food decision is difficult. I am one extreme to the other. I eat organic healthy food, and I eat alot of sweets like baked goods and candy. I need help with the sweets! :)
