diet soda makes us fatter!  |
| |
|  i'm fond of patronizing diet cola than the regular soda we had in our canteen. It's because i'm on a diet. But i happened to "bump" into this article proving that diet soda makes us fatter and more unhealthy! Ok, as if we didn't already know how bad regular soda was for us, and now they're showing us studies that diet soda makes us even fatter than the already bad stuff!The first reason is that the artificial sweeteners in diet sodas create a negative hormonal response in the body that increases fat storing hormone production and increases cravings for more sweets and refined carbohydrates in the time period after consuming the diet drink.
The second reason is that people may subconsciously think that because they are drinking a diet soda, that gives them more leeway to eat more of everything else, hence consuming more calories overall.What's now our option? The best alternatives are good old water with lemon or unsweetened iced teas... you have plenty of options with teas - green, white, black, oolong, red... be creative in making your iced teas and you'll enjoy it more. Plus you'll get a more diverse array of antioxidants.

| |  I am glad that you posted this discussion because I do know tons of dumb people who justify a "diet" with " hey look im not drinking regular pepsi anymore its diet pepsi, so i can go eat 5 big macs but im still on a diet" and it just makes me cringe and roll my eyes. I think its great if people who like soft drinks opt for diet instead, i don't want to give the impression that i don't like anyone who drinks diet soda ,my parents drink diet cuz they like it better, but the people who use it as an excuse to just pig out are gross lol.... The soft drink companies put the word DIET on there to just make more money off of people,its still not "good" for you but putting the word DIET can trick some people into thinking it is

| | you are right, my mom isn't fat or anything at all because she only drinks like maybe 1 diet soda a day ( like tops) but my dad is overweight and he drinks like 5 plus he eats lots of other bad foods, i used to drink soda a lot and that made me want to eat sweets but when i stopped and really cut back ( i drink like 1 soda a week) i didnt wanna eat sweets anymore so i believe its like connected, soda and the urges to eat bad foods | | | |

| |  i dont think of it that way, its a lesson for me now not to drink on sodas, even if its diet or not. i am fond of drinking sodas, because it makes me happy and fulfill upon drinking of it. it's an appetizer for me, but i already know that it's bad for the health but i cant resist on drinking it. i'm just thinking of when will be the time that capsules which dislikes you to drink sodas be made.
