I’m 5’7” and weigh 118 lbs. One of the reasons I’m able to weigh this MUCH, is my affinity for high calorie, high fat foods. Did you ever notice that the obese among us only drink DIET drinks and other such Lo-Cal foods?
For me, gotta have MEAT. And more MEAT. Also, stay MOVING.

Greasy Hamburgers?

Now, you’re makin’ me HONGRY...

Been trying to point out this apparent paradox for years and it seems nobody wants to believe it!

Some may think you're kidding but some serious scientists have started to corroborate the idea lately. Check out the Fathead lecture in Ted Talks.

I see this a lot. I've been drinking Diet Coke, probably ever since it's been on the market because I prefer it, I'm not over weight. You may come upon me eating a huge meal sometimes and drinking a good old Diet Coke with it. Regular colas are way to sweet for my tastes.

When dining in the south, I do not order the famous "sweet tea" either, way too sweet.
