Could what you drink be the key to losing weight?

According to the National Soft Drink Association, the average American consumes over 600 12-ounce servings of soft drinks per year.
 Assuming the average soft drink has about 165 calories (like Coca-Cola) that an extra 99,000 calories per year! These are empty calories with no real nutritional value, just alot of sugar.

What would happen if you stopped drinking all of these empty calories and started drinking water instead, do you think you would lose weight? A pound of fat has 3,500 calories so 99,000 calories equalsover 28 pounds of fat every year! If you stopped drinking soft drinks and substituted water you could lose almost 30 pounds a year.
 That is an enormous amount of weight for such a small change in your diet. 
 
Not only will you lose weight, but you will also feel better and be healthier.
 When your body is properly hydrated your skin will improve, you will have better work-outs, you will have fewer headaches, and you will be less susceptible to infection. 
Sometimes thirst can be mistake for hunger so you might even eat less when you are properly hydrated.
