If losing a few (or a few dozen) pounds is your aim, one of the first things you'll need to do is identify where the bulk of your daily calories are coming from. The best way to do this -- as most trainers, nutritionists and weight-loss professionals will tell you -- is by keeping a food journal and tracking everything you eat. Doing so is relatively easy -- there are plenty of online tools to help you out, or you can do it the old-fashioned way and keep a notebook on hand. It might seem like a bit of a pain, but people who keep a food journal usually say it's really helpful.

So the question is: Do you keep a food journal?

• 44 percent drink it from time to time as a treat.
• 29 percent wouldn't touch it.
• 22 percent drink it regularly, simply because they love it.
• 5 percent love it so much they hardly drink anything else.

Good news, soda lovers. Coca-Cola's rolling out a new product with dieters in mind.
