In general, many people think that excluding rice in their daily diet is the solution to losing weight. As an alternative, many will opt for sweetened beverages with the notion that it can ‘satiate’ and replace rice intake.

 

 “Ain’t it true? Isn’t it the same if I stop consuming rice, and have a sweet beverage to feel full? "

 

DID YOU KNOW that a tablespoon of white rice may contain up to 100 calories?

But did you realize that many of our favorite drinks have higher calories than rice?

Excess calories that we consume and do not utilize will cause weight gain which in turn leads to obesity. Keep in mind that the sugary drinks you consume will turn into sugar (simple carbohydrates) in our bodies. The frequency of consuming sugary, sweetened beverages can also increase the risk of developing diabetes.

However, if you have a ‘sweet tooth’ and can’t resist the temptation of the sugary tastes, it is highly recommended that you try a sugar substitute in your beverages! Not only is it low in calories, it is only needed in small quantities as well!
