Good morning!
I'm pretty excited this morning since I'm going to be trying a new high intensity workout regimen today. I'll put up a post on it next week (the week of 10/6/08) and let you know how it went. Also, look for an excellent post coming up on 50 causes of weight gain....trust me....your not going to want to miss this one. Click the big blue subscribe button on the right to stay updated.
Now, is there a soda out here where you can gain zero pounds, and not feel guilty...even with drinking those MISLEADING diet sodas?
Guys, I must say I feel very uninformed to say the least right now! Here I am researching and living a healthy lifestyle on a daily basis, and I am just NOW finding out about a soda that is....get this....actually healthy for you....with no b.s. attached!
Is it diet soda? Uhm, heck no! Diet sodas are just as bad as regular soda! Diet sodas contain artificial sweeteners that can cause a plethora of health concerns. If you want to read more about the dangers of artificial sweeteners, check out my post here.
I was browsing around and came across a post by Chris Pirillo (if you are in the blogosphere...you should know who he is) that talked about this healthy soda called ZEVIA®.
ZEVIA® is an all natural soda that is sweetened by the healthy sweetener, stevia. I talked about the health benefits of stevia in my other post here.
So, since I am big fan of stevia, I decided to give this soda a try. I bought a case of it, and I must say, I am impressed! It tastes absolutely delicious. Here are the nutritional facts:
Ingredients Include:
* - Stevia
* - Erythritol
* - Natural Caramel
* - Natural Tartaric
* - Citric Acid
* - Kola Nut Extract
* - Natural Caffeine
* - Annatto
ZEVIA® has no calories, no carbohydrates, no sodium, no fat.....AND NO ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS!
So, if you are looking for an healthy alternative to diet sodas and regular sodas, I highly recommend for you try ZEVIA®.
Have you tried ZEVIA® yet?
Wonderful information! I love Zevia! Even my kids think it is the best!
This Zevia seems quite interesting and finally the right solution for all my soda problems. I like diet sodas but had to give then up because of all the negative impacts they have on the body. Now a fit body along with a regular intake of diet sodas seemed to be a utopia. But mate I think you got me the right answer to the problem. Zero calories and no other harmful substances!! Wow! Thanks friend! Lemme give it a try!!
That is awesome. I really miss soda now that I am on a diet. I am going to try this.
@health nut mom
I just noticed you had a post on Zevia yourself awhile back! Isn't this stuff great?!
My wife, who is not really a big soda drinker, loves it too.
@cyrus
Glad to help!

I missed soda too! Trust me, I was researching my butt off to see if there was a catch with this stuff....but....it is truly an excellent beverage to have on occasion. The only downside is obviously there is no nutritional value, but on the same token...there are no calories...and no artificial sweeteners! Woohoo!
