    I'm going to have a vodka and coke :D

    Me too, although it'll be rum - not vodka. And diet soda - I like to live dangerously.

    Does that really say what is your metabolism type?

    I need to go to bed until February.

    The ad at the bottom of the screen in the screenshot says all that needs to be said about the "source". May as well be quoting the National Enquirer or Weekly World News as a scientific reference, lol.


    Just found it - it's on MensHealth. Same text/highlighting. So, yeah - it can safely be ignored.

    Thanks for all the perceptions of artificial sweeteners and sugar! I’m sure the poster with the original question is very confused by now. As for me I’ll keep away from artificial sweeteners and zero calorie carbonated drinks that bloat you! And adding extra unwanted calories from sugar and cream, and continue to make gains and be healthy. Have a great day!

    If OP is confused (I think perhaps she can read and understand better than that!), then it's probably because a number of people didn't take the advice in this thread title: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10627407/don-t-believe-everything-you-hear-or-read#latest

    (I mean those claiming that diet soda causes weight gain.)

    So, yeah.

    Rats! So you're saying finding out my metabolism # won't give me the secrets to the universe and make my internet run faster?

    You know...it’s okay to accept that you once believed things to be true about diet/nutrition aren’t actually true.

    I used to think my metabolism would slow down if I skipped a meal. I just learned that was wrong and moved on. It’s kinda cool.
    That's called "learning", isn't it?

    @RuNaRoUnDaFiEld

    May I suggest an expresso coffee tequila and diet coke in honour of the original thread?

    I can function without coke/pop (haven't had one in over 10 years) but without coffee, specially in the morning, I am a zombie.
