    I'm half tempted to drink 10 cokes a day for a month and eat in a deficit to prove you can lose weight while doing it. It would be pure hell and I would hungry for the entire month...but I sure do love proving points...lol

    All what sodium? 10 cans of Coke would be a whopping 300mg of sodium. I'll never understand where this ridiculous notion that soda has a lot of sodium in has come from. Plain chicken breast has more.

    I'm concerned that this man thinks he "proved" anything by adding 10 Cokes a day for month. If he had replaced 1400 calories with Coke and gained weight, there might be something to look at, but in this case, nope. Sugar didn't cause his weight gain, but extra calories sure did.

    My favorite part of the article was where he tried to claim that he wouldn't have gained the weight had it been 1400 calories of protein and fat added in instead. Some people are just incredibly stupid.

    I would've chosen beer, if I hated my liver and if it weren't for my pesky real life responsibilities...

    I just did the math for fun. 1400 calories per day x 30 days = 42,000 calories. Divide by 3500 calories = 12 pounds of fat. Since he was eating low carb and paleo, he would've refilled glycogen stores, roughly 10-12 pounds with the water weight. That equals about 22-24 pounds of weight gain. He gained... 24 pounds. Yeah, really shocking stuff, right?

    more than 50 per cent of Americans consume the daily equivalent of 10 Cokes a day, although in the form of a combination of energy drinks, juices and other dietary forms.

    So does other dietray forms just include ermm food? When I read the article my impression was what a chump and so what?

    I think it would've made more sense if they had taken one of the fifty percent of Americans and had them replace what they normally consume with 10 Cokes. It means nothing for a fit man to eat too much, but if one if the fifty percent replaced what he drinks with Coke and there is no change, then that means something.

    Why is it you never actually answer any of the questions people ask you? You just post irrelevant information or misinformation.

    OK. I do get info off of youtube especially the TED TALKS but I know that is not the only source but it is handy when checking out posts here that seem to be false. Have you had your milk today M?

    Oh for those of you making fun of my small phone I found larger one of an old man hopefully better meets the needs of some. :)

    Proves about as much as Super Size me proved. Oh I don't feel well, eating only McD's after having a mostly vegan diet. YOU DON'T SAY?

    Damn it.

    I agree with whoever said this would've been more interesting if he'd cut 1400 calories of food and replaced them with Coke.

    That's 200 calories above where I am now. I think that would be a one-pound-a-week loss so who says liquid diets don't work?
