Good choices: Yes, unnecessary sugary drinks in your diet are not good choices and lead to excess calorie consumption and subsequent weight gain. Also these sugary drinks increase your risk for diabetes. Skim milk is a good choice with no fat and beneficial protein and vitamins a ; d, calcium. Be careful with too much fruit juice too. A glass a day is fine.
