Drinking one glass or more of 100% fruit juice each day is associated with weight gain in children and adults, according to a new analysis of 42 previous studies.

The research, published Tuesday in JAMA Pediatrics, found a positive association between drinking 100% fruit juice and BMI — a calculation that takes into account weight and height — among kids. It also found an association between daily consumption of 100% fruit juice with weight gain among adults.

100% fruit juice was defined as fruit juices with no added sugar.

    Homie I didn’t just stop drinking soda. I went vegetarian for two years, work out every day, and started working a physical job instead of from home. I have a diet that is actually very easy to maintain, and I recently started eating fish again to ensure I’m getting more protein to gain muscle.

    Thanks for the long response, but telling people they won’t keep off the weight or that their changes are not sustainable only makes you sound like a jackass.

      I never meant to imply that. Can’t be arsed to do the maths now but 50kg over two years doesn’t sound too drastic depending on starting point. Assuming 150kg starting weight 1% means 1.5kg first week, 1.485 the second, two years are 104 weeks, it adds up. If all that went along with a sustained lifestyle change frankly you should stop worrying about bouncing back. I bet you feel a hell a lot better now than back then, why would you give that up? Even if you were to let go for a while, now that you have the experience you’d spot a downward slide and already have the skill to compensate in a manner that is agreeable to you.

      It’s just that there’s such an absolute deluge of bullshit about weight loss out there that I tend to use pretty much every opportunity to write an essay for the general audience.
