That's exactly what I tell my patients (and their parents) when discussing diet. There's simply no way to "exercise off" the amount of sugar contained in soda, juice, and sweet tea, unless you are training for a marathon. Our bodies are amazingly efficient when it comes to energy utilization. E.g.: one large drink from a fast food joint contains roughly enough calories to power you through a 5k race.

Not all sugars are equal either. High fructose corn syrup is a killer.

This was a big difference maker for me. I used to have a couple of beers or cocktails almost every night before bed. Not only was it a ton of calories, but it also gave me heart burn. Now, I always try to finish dinner by 7pm, then eat nothing else the rest of the night. My sleep improvement from lack of heartburn is amazing.
