I was a serious Pepsi addict before Atkins. I would drink a 6-Pack a Day (338g Sugar), plus a 40/44 oz. Coke Slurpee (138g Sugar.) That is 2-1/2 cups (476g) of Sugar. Add to that, the Sugar in the Bananas and Starch in my Bread and Pasta and I was taking in 600g of Carbs a day.

BTW, 476g x 365 days = 173,740g = 1737.4 kg = 382.7 lbs = 1/5 ton of Sugar per year. By my estimates, during my lifetime [22 years] I have consumed more than 1-1/2 tons of Sugar.

Interestingly enough, since going on Atkins and drinking Diet Rites I have had no real need for Coke or Pepsi. I haven't had a Coke or Pepsi in 13 months and have no interest in having one ever again.
