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 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.
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.
The coffee and tea in the chart must also contain something other than coffee and tea.
I guess I’m in the minority. I HATE diet sodas, especially Diet Coke. The aftertaste is disgusting. Sugary sodas taste much better. You just have to drink them in moderation.
