Stop Drinking Diet Soda....A Must Read
- Thread starter The Boys
- Start date
I spoke to my doctor the other day and he was telling me how bad diet soda is for you. He also said it will not help you lose weight, if anything it makes you gain weight. I stopped drinking the stuff a month ago and already feel better. :0074
I drink way too much diet soda and I know it can't be good for me. BUT, this link is not an article referencing true scientific studies. It is basically one women's opinion. She goes on to talk about the whole alkaline balance fad you also here bandied about; which has been scientifically debunked (I think). A lot of these people who write this stuff come off as well meaning snake-oil salesman. They all have their one issue or strategy to eternal health, and they all say something different.
As for weight loss, Diet soda won't cause weight loss in it of itself (obviously) but if you are drinking 2 cans of coke a day and replace it with diet coke, you are factually taking 280 calories out of your body. Additionally if you are like me and sugar just makes you feel gross and jittery, diet soda is a decent alternative.
Nobody thinks it's health food, but it's one option in certain situations for some people.

I wish you well with this my friend, I have done this before and I wake up at 2 am......feel like shit the whole day. I have also went 10 months without having any alcohol....for fucks sake :facepalm:
Soon to be 55 and still alive, I think about getting it right. Should I quit or only pick a day? My old man drank enough for both of us and lived to be 81. We all are different and I think drinking water all day is a good thing. I admire what your doing, FWIW :0074
All different for sure. Before I started the water kick I hadn't had a gallon total in 20 years. Seriously. It just fills me up and I eat less, which is good, because since I hit my 50's I have to watch my weight or I blow up. This seems to help.
We'll find out next year that water is bad for us. :lol:
Most of the times it's on the rocks(then wait for the ice to melt). Sometimes Crown with a splash. Damn straight-up would kill me!
Wait a minute.................are you trying to get rid of me and then you would have no bet with Bart and Gary?
Gosh!
:tongue
I've noticed that a lot of older people like Scotch and water. I can't stand it and have tried to drink it before - even the good stuff. I'm a sucker for Caribbean Rum though and mix it with a little bit of Coke, not Diet Coke. I've tried to drink Diet Coke or Diet Pepsi before and I just can't stand it. Also, about the only time I drink Coke is with Rum. I drink four or five glasses (about the size of a pint) of water a day. I find myself drinking less beer and liquor than I use to, probably because I'm approaching 40 soon and have had past health problems.
