Diet Soda is like drinking rust (except Diet Sprite). I also never seen anyone become skinny drinking Diet Soda
If Coke was smart, they should create a Coke 800, an eight hundred calorie soda. I bet people buying it would be thin. :)
Stop drinking soda and you will lose weight.
This has been known for a long time. I am 6ft 2in and weigh 178 lb. I eat what I want but avoid artificial sweetners and high fructose corn syrup. I eat real butter not some oily crap. I’m 60 years old and on zero medication, except beer and Kentucky Bourbon. I am physically active but I don’t workout. People I have convinced to follow my lead have immediately lost weight and feel better in general.
I get all my sugar from a bottle of VO.
Some years back I switched to a modified paleo diet, but I struggled to shed pounds. Then I read something that prompted me to switch from Diet Coke/Diet Dr. Pepper to soft drinks sweetened with Splenda (Diet Rite or Diet RC). Within days I began shedding pounds. Since then I have noticed this same pattern several times. (I inevitably end up drinking aspartame drinks again because they are ubiquitous). I can’t prove it scientifically, but I suspect there is something about aspartame that hinders weight loss, at least for me.
I should have said the underlying assumption here is that more calories equal weight gain, but that’s totally wrong, at least for me.
Look at the label...you need a HAZMAT certification to truck Phosphoric Acid.
But all the people in diet soda commercials are young and skinny. You mean commercials lie?
I stopped drinking diet soda completely...
A few months back wife and I went to go out and happened to stop at sandwich shop that did not have brewed tea for a beverage...
I opted for the diet pepsi, figured it would kill me to drink one diet soda...
I literally could not drink it for the nasty chemical taste it left in my mouth..
I couldn't believe I drank that crap for years and years...
BTW, feel much better, more mental clarity and have lost weight...
Aspartame is a neurotoxin, and so is formaldehyde for that matter. I stopped the diet soft drinks about 2years ago. Sparking water was good enough replacement for me.
Then there are those folks that drink a Diet Coke...at the same time they eat a Snickers.
“I’ll have a Big Mac, Super-size Fries, a Cherry Pie, and a diet Coke, please.”
We used an acid to clean diesel soot off the sides of aluminum trailers. Someone broke two bottles of coke and it accidently spilled on an aluminum two wheeled dolly. That thing was as clean as the day it was new. We used coke on the trailers. Shook the cans and sprayed it on the sides. Got a little expensive, but worked great.
I think some of the artificial sweeteners actually stimulate appetite by increasing insulin output without increasing blood sugar. Try having a bowl of cereal in the morning (or carbs in general) and then a diet coke before lunch. Wow - not good. I do not get the same effect from sucralose (diet rite, Jones Zilch etc). No soda is best but regular in moderation is better than many diet ones.
Oh, good grief. I drink water and I also drink diet soda; I don’t have a weight problem. Same for my husband. His family all drinks them, and they’re all thin.
I switched to water.
This is a ridiculous study. The researchers report that obese people who drank diet soda ate more. Ok, so what? Then they went way off base with their cause and effect. How can they make the correlation when they couldn’t find the same effect in people of normal weight? This is a huge flaw, in addition to offering absolutely no proof that some undefined sweet sensors in the brain force you to consume more calories to make up for the lack of sugar from regular soda. How does this happen? They never bother to tell us. I don’t know about you, but these are two huge red flags that should have ensured that this “study” never saw the light of day. But there it is. The grant money industry causes incredible things to happen.
