A resident of South Wales, Australia, gave up Coca-Cola and lost 57 kilograms in a year. Her story is published by the Daily Mirror.
32-year-old Jessica Lovejoy said that before losing weight, she drank at least two liters of soda a day and very rarely drank water. She started and ended the day with Coca-Cola. Lovejoy added that she always had problems with willpower: she was addicted to chips, cookies, cakes and chocolate. “I just ate, not paying attention to what gets into my body,” – said the woman.
The Australian woman made the decision to change her lifestyle and lose weight after she began to suffer from pain in her knees and feet. She gave up junk food and replaced it with healthy foods.

For dessert, Lovejoy ate fruit, yogurt with honey, muesli, or prunes with an apple. She chose whole grain crackers and fruits for snacks.
