Diet coke triggers my appetite, and I always go over by 200-300 calories on a day I have a Diet Coke.0

Obviously diet soda is fine, but jesus christ it comes off in this thread as if they're inter-changable liquids0

Does absolutely nothing to my appetite either way, and I drink (on average) one can every day. Has absolutely zero effect upon my appetite or ability to maintain a deficit.0 -
Yes if you are only going by the calories. The diet pop is still crap going into your body.0

Have you seen what happens when you pour water+baking soda on a car battery? The corrosion is eaten away. Are you going to stop drinking water and eating bread?
It's even worse than that. Have you seen the Grand Canyon? Water did that. Imagine what 64 ounces a day (the bare minimum recommendation of those who argue that all hydration must come from unadulterated water), consumed day in and day out, week after week, year after year, will do to your insides, if it can dig a hole that size in the earth.

It's the same but it's not the same on your intestines. I don't eat fast food but it's like me saying that if I eat a burger from mc Donald's of 500+ calories than its the same as if I was to eat my wild caught fish burrito of 500+ calories. Calories are the same bit ingredients are definitely not. Remember, you are what you eat. Always enjoy your meals spiritualy and physically

Diet soda is over 90% just water. It's just water with flavor, nothing more. It's not some mysterious liquid that's not made out of water.0 -

Your body has no "fast food detector". Everything you eat simply gets taken apart into its components.
The burger is starch carbs from the bun, some fiber and sugars from the lettuce, tomatos etc. protein and fat from the meat, some sugar and whatever from the sauce.
The burrito has starch carbs from the wrap thing, some fiber and sugars from whatever veggies are in it, protein and fat from the fish, if there's sauce in it sugar and stuff.
The fast food burger will have preservatives and additives that ruin your body, the meat won't be from a grass fed cow adding to the strain.
Water flushed out toxins from your body. Zero calorie coke adds them back in, causes bloating and digestive issues.
Eating highly processed food made in a factory by scientists whose purpose is to get you addicted to their "food" does not do the same thing to your body as eating fresh real food, even if the calories are the same.0 -

Ruin your body? How so?
You make it sound like a burger is going to make you dissolve from the inside out, nonsense.
Your kidneys are able to filter out much worse things than a burger, I can assure you.

No not always. I know countless occurrences where tap water has bacterial counts and other contaminants that are beyond safety levels. around here, with old houses, many of which have lead pipes, the lead count from the taps can be above recognized safety levels for consumption.
So while I believe water is better than Diet Coke (and I do love my diet colas), not even covsidering aspartame, I wouldn't use "always".0 -

And going back to the other points, of course one fast food burger is not going to kill you. You can stay within your calorie range eating processed foods and still lose weight, but it won't make you feel good and healthy....0 -
It's not just about the macros, the micros are really important too!0

Men's Health?
Which ones are the actual toxins?
Also, I eat processed food, I lost weight, AND I feel good AND I am healthy. Must be a special snowflake.0
