I just don’t like sugary sodas, period.
Well yeah. Anybody that ever worked fastfood knows that. Diet Coke orders were almost always in drive thru, almost always supersized, frequently included a desert, and often an extra sandwich. But hey, it was diet.
A few years ago, I began drinking diet green tea instead of water or any other beverage. My blood sugar dropped immediately out of the pre-diabetic to normal. Weight has remained steady, but I’m not overweight.
I worked for a woman who would eat two 1/4 pounders and fries for lunch and wash it down with a diet Coke.
Me: "Dude. Why bother?"
Him: "It kills my hangover."
I’ve never got the hang up with diet drinks.
So someone who eats a 1500 calorie meal doesn’t want to make it 2000. Big deal!
Does anyone ever tell the car dealer to just “round up” when buying a vehicle?
That’s WHY I drink diet drinks — so I can consume more fat calories. :)
I don’t either, prefer the crispness of diet pop.
Many times ppl drink diet soda not for weight loss or calories but b/c they like soda but don’t want to consume all the sugar.
I used to be a Dr pepper fiend. When I got an elevated glucose on a blood test I switched to diet. Not the best, but better.
I started drinking diet years ago when I was carrying some extra weight. No weight problem now, but I got accustomed to the taste. Regular tastes way too sweet and it’s sort of sticky.
Four Fried Chickens and a Piece of Dry White Toast.
and a Diet Coke.
I’m on a diet, so cut my pizza into 4 pieces instead of 8 and give me a diet Coke.
“I worked for a woman who would eat two 1/4 pounders and fries for lunch and wash it down with a diet Coke.”
It would have been so much better had she ingested a ton of sugar with that food.
And right here, in this modest little sentence, we find the real reason that diet sodas cause obesity. It has nothing to do with metabolism, and everything to do with psychology!
Somehow, I doubt we'll see any decrease in the number of headlines pronouncing that diet sodas make one fat...
Diet drinks are also unhealthy.
Sugared sodas taste sickening to me. I enjoy the taste of the sugarless. And I take issue with this study. The basic food groups are pizza, Mexican, lasagna and more pizza.
Same here.
I’m drinking a diet Mt. Dew right now, and it is good.
“I worked for a woman who would eat two 1/4 pounders and fries for lunch and wash it down with a diet Coke.”
Two 1/4 pounders? So. It’s only 1/2 pound :)
