Very interesting....

At least now I know why I'm fat. It's not the six pack of beers a night, it's the six pack of Pepsi One a day! Clearly, the only solution is to drink beer all day. Time to move the extra kegerator into the office...

I'm fairly convinced there is going to be something wrong with anything...

Re: Diet Soda, Bust?
 

A friend was just talking about this a few weeks ago. Makes sense.

Re: Diet Soda, Bust?
 

Wow!
Interesting.
I need to lay off my Diet Coke.

I haven't found a diet soda yet that I like the taste of...

Well, to be fair it's pretty old news. Hell, at one time sugar (of all things) was pushed for diets as it was believed to regulate your appetite.

Here's an old ad: http://www.flickr.com/photos/sa_stev...7606389427177/

So basically, drink your diet sodas, just don't cram shitloads of food into your gullet on top of it and think you're doing yourself a favor. :)

Just stick to the sugary stuff you will be fine

Re: Diet Soda, Bust?
 

Exactly! The body DOES respond to caloric intake, and if you drink diet soda you are saving about 200 calories or so a can. But, that does not allow you to have a triple cheesburger with mega fries to make up for it!

Then again, some of the artificial sweetners make one wonder....

Re: Diet Soda, Bust?
 

Flawless logic! I wholeheartedly agree... :D

And think about it... most of the people I see drinking diet sodas are overweight. Coincidence? I think not. ;)

:tpd:

I had to lay of the real stuff from my nutrician (real stuff = European recipy of Coca Cola, which is different from the US recipy), tried some diet sodas but didn't like any of them, so I drink water and fruit juice now.

Re: Diet Soda, Bust?
 

You don't want to drink too much fruit juice, Ferdie. I don't know about European juice but in the U.S.A. it has more sugar than soda!

Re: Diet Soda, Bust?
 

The fruitjuice I buy is fruit juice without additional suger. But I bought a fruit juicer last week, so now I make my own homemade juice.

Re: Diet Soda, Bust?
 

OK, I was just looking out for you. 99% of people never look at the label of juice because we have throughout our lives had "juice = healthy" pounded into our heads. :D

Re: Diet Soda, Bust?
 

Ever since I am working with this nutrician, reading labels became a 2nd nature. And sometimes the labels scare my shitless, the amount of calories in peanuts for example, damn! And what a lie "peanutbutter light" is, there is hardly a difference with normal peanutbutter.

Re: Diet Soda, Bust?
 

It's all about counting calories. Simple math of energy consumed, energy used. You are a stong soul if you can do it!

Re: Diet Soda, Bust?
 

A calorie isnt a calorie. Big mistake. Quality should come first compared to quantity. Natural peanut butter should be a staple in everyones diet.
