okay, and alcohol destroys your liver, cigarettes give you cancer, fatty foods gives you a heart attack, now there saying too much fish is bad for mercury


too much of anything isn't good.....moderation is totally fine

I think that's a very important point to remember!
Another fitness forum I visit had a thread going about conflicting info and how tough it is to know what is or isn't true (ie. soy is good for you/soy causes cancer,etc,etc) The bottom line was just as you said...moderation is the key.

There is no need to be snarky. I personally don't believe in the moderation is totally fine. But to each his own.

The poster above me mentioned that they could not find scientific evidence that artificial sweetners are bad. They are highly toxic and just as addictive as sugar or drugs.

Actually fatty foods don't give you a heart attack. There are plenty of studies to the contrary on that one. There is even a forum that I recently posted on that gives plenty of information about how eating a moderate fat diet is actually good for you.

wasn't being snarky.....just making the point that everything we eat and drink can be harmful for us....

I was addicted to diet coke. If I didn't drink diet coke I didn't drink anything. Before the holidays I stopped drinking diet coke(cold turkey). Well as soon as holidays came around I started drinking one here and there until I was back to drinking only diet coke.

In january when I started eating healthier I quit again, I have not started back. As I started to lose weight I noticed i was losing weight in my stomach(between boobies and belly button:happy: ), that has never happened before. i just thought since I was older now maybe my body was losing different. A few weeks later I was watching Biggest Loser and the contestants were doing a quiz with Prevention magazine and the question was is Diet Soda okay to drink? The answer was no because it causes belly fat ecspecially in women. So I had my answer to why I was losing weight in my belly first.

Plus if I drink diet coke between my water I will never drink the amount of water I should get in.

Too much of any food and drinking can also cause belly fat (fat in general)


I make sure I get plenty of water in me a day....I probably drink a gallon of water a day

One can of diet soda is the least of my worries

I'm only speaking for myself!!!!!!! If you want to drink a coke and can balance it with your water go for it. But for ME I don't think it's good. If you are trying to eat clean a diet coke wouldn't be on the list. I also know that many things can cause fat of any kind not just diet coke but I am just responding to this thread about diet soft drinks.

Also it does "seem" like you are being snarky. Everyone has their own opinion and beliefs, there's no need to be so negative towards other people's comments.

what was I being so negative about? I was just putting my 2 cents in like everyone else. If anything I thought I was giving a positive spin on drinking diet soda.....

I'm sitting here drinking my 32oz diet Coke while reading the thread....all the diet Coke talk made me thirsty :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

jules1984

LOL I laughed when I read that you were drinking diet coke!

Seriously though...

Soda is a treat! Personally I hate the taste of artificial sweetners but I guess I'm lucky like that. Cut down (not out) on sweets and sodas as much as you can and if you're craving something have it, but then resume.

I occasionally drink *gasp* full on sugar Dr. Pepper!!! I probably have a can once a week (sometimes two or three weeks without). Consider all the people drinking two 20-ounces a day. Go ahead and replace the occasional latte with a diet pop! Be bad! :laugh:

Oh, gosh. If I'm having soda, I'm having the real thing, darnit! :drinker:

I've come a long way. When I was working, I often drank a 6pack of diet Coke a day. I was a very over caffeinated, not particularly patient or pleasant person. Now, I buy the little 8oz cans and try to only have one every other day or less. But, tonight my DD wanted a sweet tea from Mickey D's and I got myself the diet. Coke...supersize of course...because it was only a buck! LOL!

I'm just saying that every opinion someone posted you came back with a comment that was almost arguing their point. But like I said in the previous post it "SEEMED" like it. Maybe it's not what you are intending, I don't know you that's why I said SEEMs like it instead of saying you are arguing a point. Sorry if I offended you, not my intention at all. I could just see how the person in the earlier post could assume you were being "snarky". But like I said really wasn't my intentions on offending you if I did.
