Drink Coke Zero!!! Drink Coke Zero

I have to tell you about a new drink I've tried. It's diet crush (like grape, orange or creamsoda) and it's not sweetend by aspartame, but with splenda. Now those were pretty good.
 
Giving up pop altogether is best, but diet pop is not going to hurt your weight loss. I'm a fan of sprite zero, but I prefer water.
 
For me, It's about finding healthy alternatives. If I can find a healthy alternative to something I once had a sort of addiction to at one time, that I can have once in a while, then I will do that. I want balance and something I can keep up with.
 
I rarely drink any sodas now. I have read some reports that some of the artificial sweeteners may be very low cal - but they can affect our metabolisms and the way that our bodies handle and use or store fats, in such a way, that they are indirectly fattening. I could dismiss the reports, except that one of the points made still sticks in my mind.

Obesity started seriously spreading through western civilisation when diet sodas first came on the market. It may well be coincidental, with no correlation - but the introduction of diet sodas appears to have done nothing to combat obesity in our society.

I drank diet sodas for years when I was overweight. It didn't seem to help me lose any weight. I now drink water.
 
Google a search on "diet soda" "gain weight" and you'll get loads of information - the following is just one example.

Diet Soda Drinkers Gain Weight
Overweight Risk Soars 41 Percent With Each Daily Can Of Diet Soda

Fowler's team looked at seven to eight years of data on 1,550 Mexican-American and non-Hispanic white Americans aged 25 to 64. Of the 622 study participants who were of normal weight at the beginning of the study, about a third became overweight or obese.

For regular soft-drink drinkers, the risk of becoming overweight or obese was:

* 26 percent for up to 1/2 can each day

* 30.4 percent for 1/2 to one can each day

* 32.8 percent for 1 to 2 cans each day

* 47.2 percent for more than 2 cans each day.

For diet soft-drink drinkers, the risk of becoming overweight or obese was:

* 36.5 percent for up to 1/2 can each day

* 37.5 percent for 1/2 to one can each day

* 54.5 percent for 1 to 2 cans each day

* 57.1 percent for more than 2 cans each day.

For each can of diet soft drink consumed each day, a person's risk of obesity went up 41 percent.

Also though those studies were done on diet pops, not coke zero, its different from the others. I'm not saying it doesn't apply, but its not the same as other diets sodas. I lost a lot of weight, because on average i drink about 1/2 to a litter a day, depending on my activity. That liter = 800 calories, so i mean say you werent on a diet, and just drank some pop whenever you felt the need, it doesn't hurt at all drinking zero and it tastes just like regular coke.

What i usually do, is i go to work, i don't eat anything, i just drink zeros anytime i get thirsty, it leaves me feeling recharged like i just drunk some pop, but it has no calories. Then i get off and have a meal or whatever later that day, and just drink zeros and water all day, maybe do some situps or pushups if i feel like it, and i can really notice a difference on the scales. But i can tell you know i'm gonna be a permanet fan of coke zero. I mean its tastes GOOD and its no calories, so why wouldn't I. If you wanna know if it something in the pop that affects metabolism go by one and look at the ingredients and check it out, but i seriously doubt it affects your metabolism like you all are claiming, its more likely the people they did the studies on already had metabolism problems or just were pigging out and blamed it on the diet pop. I mean your body will digest pop differntly than it does water, but it also digest every single thing you eat/drink differnetly also. But you decide for yourselves, i'm just trying to be helpful and aid some ppl in their quest to live normal and still lose weight, really it tastes just like the real thing.
 
If you really must drink cola type drinks then Pepsi Max is great!

However nothing tastes quite like diet irn bru!:D

Well, personally, I don't consider going to work and not eating anything and drinking zeros when you're thirsty the healthiest way to lose weight.

I could be wrong though.

LOL! Really - did you look at the study? There were over 1,000 people and the study went on for 6-8 years.
