Yep, recent studies have demonstrated that coffee actually has some pretty significant health benefits. The caveat being of course that we're talking about pretty much black coffee, not those Starbucks calorie-laden ones!

As for weight loss, just a couple of years ago I started putting on weight for the first time ever. I've found that understanding how many calories your body actually needs, and controlling caloric intake (especially portion control) is key, along with regular exercise.

Keep track of how many calories you're taking for a few days - you'll probably be amazed how much you're actually consuming. Ditching (or cutting back significantly on) the pop is a bit of a no-brainer.

Sadly for me, it was beer consumption that had to be cut back.
