Another topic brought on a thought....... One of my biggest pet peeves which I have found I noticed since starting MFP and dieting is.........

People who order big macs, large fries and then ......a large diet soda........

Now I know some people prefer diet soda...but does it really really make you feel like your not eating crap.....

What is your pet peeve?

    Well, you see, having the diet soda allows you to have the hot fudge sundae, because you gave up the sugar in a regular soda. lol Seriously though, I agree, if you're going to be bad, be all the way bad.

    Well you know what? It's better than order full on sugar soda like Coke! So when you order your big mac, large fry and 32 oz coke, and i order my big mac, large fry and diet, ill be saving myself roughly 400 calories :)

    I don't like reg coke, so I only order diet, not for the cal value, but for taste. I personally don't know anyone that gets it for the cal value (or lack thereof) when ordering like that.

    Drivers in the fast lane going slow. That is my peeve. Grrrrrrr

    When counting calories every 100 counts! Heck, every 1 counts :)

    I order the diet coke because I am saving myself from the calories and unnecessary sugar that you get from a regular pop. A large pop is the equivalent of what 3+ cans at around 100 calories each you are saving yourself 300+ calories by ordering a diet pop plus the sugar. That's just how I look at it and I like diet or rather cannot tell the difference between the two so I drink diet occasionally (like 2x a week if that)

    I wouldn't see that as a problem. At least they're not ingesting an extra 300+ calories with a large soda. Whenever I have cheat meals, I still order diet coke with them. There's absolutely no reason for extra calories to come from a drink. At least have 300 calories worth of cookies or something! LOL. :) Besides, I like diet coke better than reg. now.

    Growing up we were allowed the occasional diet soda on special occasions...no real soda allowed, so I'm totally in it for the taste over the "health benefit". I can't even stand the smell of regular soda!

    My biggest pet peeve is just ignorance. Whatever form it comes in, whatever level of hostility is attached to it, ignorance is ignorance and it drives me MAD.

    I work at mcdonalds and see this literally every day. The diet coke is actually worse, even if you are saving calories. Aspartame causes heart disease, leads to cancers, and rots away at your stomach lining. If I feel the need for soda (which I have about 1 12 oz can a month if that) I drink full calorie and just work it off.

    I dont eat Big Macs... never have eaten one... but I cant stand the taste of regular soda. It's wayyyyyyyyyyy to sweet! Like pure sugar.... IF I ever get soda it's diet just based on taste (and i hate drinking calories lol)

    But don't you see the contradiction in this? Why are you even ordering the Big Mac and fries? But hey, who am I to talk, I weigh 300 lbs, obviously I hadn't quite worked it all out yet. lol
