Diet Soda Persuasive Speech
I used to drink a lot of diet soda. One day, I was talking to a friend of mine telling him how hard it was for me to get off the diet soda “thing”. I had to chuckle a bit when he said "Help me!

He thought He was finally getting a handle on his weight issue but the sugar was killing him. He said he had an awful day. I won't even tell you what he ate because it is just so unbelievable. All I will say is that 90% of his food today consisted of sugar! He was a sugar addict!

If you see a little of yourself in this message, you're not alone. Many describe themselves as sugar addicts. They believe if it were only for that one thing, then they could reach their weight loss goals. If you believe only one thing stands in your way of losing weight,

6) Put together a plan of action for the achievement of your outcome.

While it may seem like a lot of effort simply to decide what you really want, going through these steps at the beginning helps you find potential obstacles which previously stopped you from moving forward. For example, if you decide you want to join a gym and start exercising every day but you've forgotten you don't even own a car and just lost your job, that exercise plan might not work out right now. If you did join a gym, you'd end up not going and then you'd think you'd failed, yet it was the plan that failed, not you. You didn't think it through.

A better plan in this instance may be doing exercises at home, or within walking distance (or simply walking for exercise). Later, when you do have transportation, you can rethink the plan and perhaps join a gym then. There are always options.

It's better to look at what you want from every angle, then put together a plan you know can and will work. Then when you know what you want, you'll also know you can make it happen and begin by taking that first step toward making it a

    As for my Sugar Warrior client, she's been working on reducing sugars for a while now. Yes, during her process, some of my fears were justified. Eating little bits of sugar made her crave more sugar. That made it difficult for her to eliminate cravings. She still battles them. She still thinks of desserts as a viable option when she's stressed, and has to tell herself "no" each time. The individual "no" doesn't always work.…

    No matter what, humans need sugar in their daily diets. To be healthy your cells require sugar as a nutrient. “Our cell health is critical to overall health. If the cells are nourished we have the right foundation for a nourished body” (Konie Pg. 2B). For some reason when humans over consume a product such as sugar, we as a society automatically see it as bad and take no accountability for our own actions and or choices. On page 2A from the article “Is sugar bad? Why I say NO!” by Robin Konie we are reminded of the natural sugars that are essential to our daily diets, like sugars found in fruits, dairy, vegetables, and other essential foods we need to consume daily.…

    Hi, Charylina! I loved your presentation on limiting soda intake. I know personally how hard it is to give up soda, but the benefits of limiting soda intake are well worth the sacrifice.

By removing the antecedent, soda, from your home it appears that you were able to greatly reduce your soda intake. Also, having encouragement from those we love always helps us to reach our goals. Best wishes to you as you move forward in your behavior modification of reducing soda…

    Most college students would have the same thought process as you. They would immediately say "no way! I love my soda", this is unfortunately how the majority of America is like. If we are to change, we have to really put forth the effort for more than a day. A lot of people actually know of the risks of drinking soda but they don't do anything about it, most people treat it as if it's nothing until they start getting signals. People need to start seeing that other campuses and businesses are removing soda from their buildings as a red flag as you said. If it has been a concern for so long and such a big concern that businesses are starting to remove it, it means it's probably really bad for you. I feel like our best solution is to slowly back…

    Obesity is a problem that has affected a large number of people in the United States. People who drink a lot of sugary drinks often tend to weigh more. A typical 20-ounce soda contains 15-18 teaspoons of sugar, and upwards of 240 calories. Unfortunately, those calories are non nutritious, and don’t satisfy hunger. Another way that soda might contribute to weight gain is because of the high fructose corn syrup ingredient, which is a cheap…

    Sugar filled beverages have become the single largest source of calories in the American diet. About 7 percent of our total average calorie intake are sugary sodas. Sugar- sweetened drinks i.e sodas, artificially enhanced juices, etc. have been directly linked to weight gain in not only adults but children too. Sugary drinks are proven to weaken your teeth and gums and increase the amount of acid in your mouth which eats away at the tooth enamel.
