Sugarfree soda is bad. It will trick your body and think it's sugar and you still get all the calories....
This is literally impossible. Our bodies can't create energy from nothing and it is certainly capable of "knowing" whether or not something has calories or not.
Edit: Never mind, haven't had coffee yet. I thought you were asserting this, not reporting that someone else said it!17 -

People have asked me what I do but generally they go away believeing its, 'all because you swim', no matter what I say. (I was swimming for 2 years before I started losing, it does nothing when you reward it with fish and chips from the chippy 3 times a week!)
I've gotten the same about rowing . . . which I'd done for over a decade while obese, and the questioner knew it.
Denial is strong.

A coworker told me that she carries a lot of extra waste in her bowels, so she’s really 5 pounds lighter than the scale indicates.16

🤢 <—Me, imagining carrying five pounds of feces around all the time. It would have been so hard for me to not offer her some prunes.A coworker told me that she carries a lot of extra waste in her bowels, so she’s really 5 pounds lighter than the scale indicates.

And I thought five pounds of poop was gross. My husband swears that the home-made ginger beer we make (it’s fermented and super fizzy) has helped his pooping problems. Whether it’s the ginger, or the microbes, or something else, he now thinks Coca-Cola is gross. When I started dating him I was grossed out by how much soda his family drank. The homemade stuff still has sugar and calories, but I think this development is a win, especially in the pooping department.4 -

Anyone who has ever prepped for a colonoscopy knows that there is not 20lb of stuff backed up in the entire digestive system. On procedure day I am squeaky clean and typically 5-6 lb less than my usual weight.6 -

I’ve never thought to weigh myself before one of those. I stand corrected: apparently I DO carry that much poop all the time!1 -

From the descriptions from my dad, I'm sure part of that weight is also water, not just fecal matter.3 -

You definitely lose a lot of water weight.0 -

I get that because I'm a cyclist too. Thing is, I joined a weekly club ride and some of the members can leave me in their dust - in spite of the fact that they are obviously carrying an extra 15-30+ pounds of weight.3 -
I once had someone tell me that if I put rice in the fridge and let it cool before eating it would have 1/3 or 1/2 the calories (don't remember the actual percentage).
Also, not really diet related but my mom always insisted that I wouldn't be depressed anymore if I just ate more veggies.3 -

I'm not completely up to date on the studies, but I believe there is some evidence to think that "resistance starches" (calories our body is no longer able to absorb if a starch like rice, pasta, or potatoes is cooled before eating) are a real thing. I wouldn't subtract the calories from leftover rice based on it, but there is at least some underpinning to it.9 -

If someone can show me the scientific research with the actual numbers, I'd be interested. But I usually just eat my cooking right away unless it has an affect on frozen dinners.2
