I would like to lose weight quickly and was wondering how diet sodas affect diets. I love diet sodas. I know that when you drink them they can make you want to eat more because it makes your body think that it had more sugar since diet sodas are sweet. Is there anything else they do to ruin diets? Let’s say I drank diet soda and tryed really hard not to eat too much because of the diet soda, and I succeeded. Will it still affect my diet? How?
> Is there anything else they do to ruin diets?
The real culprit is not the sugar–artificial or not.
It is one’s addiction to sweets. The habit.
If one’s craving does not go away, eventually he finds himself back to the same pit. The dieting cycle is endless. Taking up diet soda is only addressing the end of the problem, not the root of the problem. And manufacturers understand this fact, so they appease their consumers. They keep consumers wanting sugar so they can profit.
In America a lot of things are designed to the effect of dependence.
One day you drink diet soda, the other day you want brownies, another day you get fat-free ice-cream. You are convinced you will not gain weight because, on paper, you cancel out all the sweet calories with that diet soda. See how this doesn’t work? The whole regime keeps you coming back. It robs your focus. Instead of focusing on the positive image, your focus is on “How to not gain weight from EATING SUGAR.” Your mindset still depends on consuming it.
If you can quit anything for 30 days, the rest is easier. And you begin to focus on something else, and eventually you forget about it. Come on, you can do it!!!!!
Fake sugars and carbonation will make you bloat
. I stay away because I don't like fake sugar anymore because it was making my IBS act up.
