      Sheesh, sorry for trying to lighten the mood a bit. Some people just can't take a joke. *shrugs.* And from your sarcasm, I'm going to suggest that maybe you were born later than 92 since you sure are reacting like a child.

      what about that was a joke? i already said i was born prior to 1992, so now you're just insulting me.

      I don't really care how old you are. I pointed out an assumption, which was obviously wrong as to how old you are. I was mostly joking, and not really intending to be rude. Your response on the other hand, was sarcastic and rude. So I responded with a little rudeness of my own. So go ahead and be insulted. No skin off my nose :)

      Oh how I love the way people treat each other when they're not face to face.

      Linky-link! I even made it user friendly for you, friend. :wink:

      Peer reviewed study. That's a website by one doctor with no links to peer reviewed studies that I can see. That makes his information opinion not facts.

      "People consuming low calorie sweeteners may overcompensate by eating more than they otherwise would."

      Except of course the people that are losing weight and drinking diet pop and lets not forget the people that drink diet pop and are not overweight. I love correlations, they could mean anything anyone could dream up and all you have to do is add the word "may" and your off the hook, love it.

      the assumption was rude. not really sure how it was funny.

      You don't have time to post links to studies? Right. Maybe there are none.

      That said, maybe soda does make some people hungrier but not everyone.

      Eating sweets might cause some people to want more but, again, not everyone.

      Your assertions are very general.

      Links to peer reviewed studies, please. ;)

      For you too, buddy! Clicky clicky!

      I don't think it's rude to assume someone's age based off of their screenname. For years my screennames had 88 in them because *shocker here* I was born in 88. I've got tons of friends who put their birth year in their screennames. It's not really a rude assumption. I never saw where you put that you were born prior to 92. All you said was that you weren't born in 92. I thought it was an interesting way to lighten the mood. This further proves that you can't take a little light hearted bantering. Now I don't even care what you say after this because I'm not going to respond anymore. Have a great life, and good luck with your fitness journey. :)

      It was a double-blind clinical nutrition study with a large sample size.

      You know what I love? How people can justify pretty much anything they want to believe on internet forums. ;)

      Excuse me. *exits*

      Yeah, it seems to me you're trying to one up with your snark replies, but its not working. Your link is opinion only and not facts (as I posted a few posts up, but I guessed you missed it :)), therefore it is not all that reliable.

      Have you found any peer reviewed studies to support your opinion?.

      it was rude because it was insulting my intelligence to insinuate that i really can't subtract 22 from 52 and that i really don't know that a 30 year old can be a mother.

      Neither will wine if you drink it in moderation. ;)

      Yeah, and I really was talking about just one glass of wine. But, I have a low tolerance. I will feel that. And if I had one glass frequently (two days in a row for example) I would start to not feel so well. Different people respond differently to alcohol. That's why some people like it so much more than other people. Plus saves more calories for me to eat in the form of food.

      This is the Yale Journal of Biology and Medicine article that was linked on the right hand side of the VIDEO you clicked play on:
      ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2892765/pdf/yjbm_83_2_101.pdf

      It covers multiple clinical studies which can be cited with a teensy little bit of leg work. I consider it to be the most relevant seeing as it cites many opposed to few.

      When participants were not aware of what they consumed, which is referred to as blind the group given the aspartame consumed fewer calories, but when they were told they were given the artificial sweetner, they ate more.......that is not blind or double blind. What we can conclude is that obese people also drink diet pop.

      A good thought about hydration. I recommend downloading a water logging application and set a target for drinking enough plain water. I did that in August after my work's health coach recommended it. I did feel better from drinking more water. I use the waterlogger app (on my iPhone) to make sure that I drink 100 oz/day; it is very simple to use ... but you could also use myfitnesspal or fitbit or other apps to keep track. If you make sure you are drinking enough plain water, then you might drink less other drinks such as soda. If you are losing weight, then there is supposed to be more likelihood of developing gallstones and kidney stones. If you google for info on preventing stones, one of the suggestions is to drink plenty of water. I don't believe other drinks replace the need to hydrate with just plain water. So for those of you looking to reduce or quit drinking diet drinks, maybe tracking/meeting water goals might be helpful. And I've found that the fullness from drinking water has just helped my weight loss in general. There are other benefits. Here is a link to a short list: http://www.webmd.com/diet/features/6-reasons-to-drink-water?page=3

      Why don't you believe water with flavor hydrates as well as 'plain water'?

      I go through random binges of drinking diet soda. Months and months of just water with lemon and ice tea.. and then I have like two weeks of soda drinking.

      I get it's zero calories, zero in all macros...but it's artificial terribleness. Also, what causes me to snap out of those binges is I start looking flabby. And also.. diet soda and cellulite are bffs.

      My hubby and I quit soda a long time ago and we replaced it with Crystal Light Ice Tea, it only has 5 calories a glass and after a while your craving for soda will go away :)

      Wow what a response this has drummed up! I just want to give you some support for giving up diet sodas. Plenty of studies show serious side effects of those chemicals. I gave up diet soda about 15 years ago (along with cigarettes) and I do not miss it. I drink water. Here's a tip: fill a beautiful glass pitcher with filtered water and add slices of orange and lemon, you can also add mint, any fruit you enjoy. Use organic fruit. Drink it throughout the day. BRAVO! You will save plenty of money and can use it instead on buying better quality foods. Take it day by day and reward yourself when you hit 30 days in a row free! Good luck.

      Wanted to jump in real quick.. I chose to give up soda and aspartame. I cut back one soda a day and sustained that for 2 weeks. Third week cut back two sodas, etc.

      I can now taste sodium if I have a sip of certain sodas. I dont like it. HAHAHA

      Aspartame was more of a challenge for me. Those drink packets poured into bottled water were a lifesaver at work when I couldnt get away. Same process as with the soda.

      I love filtered water, hot/iced herbal teas, soy milk, etc.


      Best Wishes upon taking care of you!

      I also only like good pizza. East Coast United States (I am from there). Anywhere else from a real good Italian restaurant.
