Diet soda is no better than regular soda

Diet Soda and Obesity: Is There a Link?

Recent findings from the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio, found that there was a "41% increase in risk of being overweight for every can of diet soda a person consumes each day".
Now get this: for diet soda drinkers who consumed 2 cans, or 24 ounces of diet soda per day, the risk of being overweight or obese was 57% higher.

In fact, when the researchers took a closer look at their data, they found that nearly all the obesity risk from soft drinks came from diet sodas, rather than regular ones!

And as horrible as sugar sodas are for you - at least you know that ONE of the substances in the drink originally came from a plant. That would be sugar. In a diet drink, you aren't getting anything but chemicals. And these make you almost as fat as Prozac and Zoloft.

"I bet they don't want to hear that at Coca Cola headquarters."

Now, here is another theory: If diet sodas are no good for you, then maybe the other million diet products aren't good for you either.
Fat free sour cream Butter substitutes Power Bars Sugar free maple syrup and on and on and on.
Anyway, I have long suspected that all low fat, and fat free foods are "Yo-Yo" foods. As long as you are consuming them you will always be yo-yoing up and down with your weight.
The reason? We don't yet know.
But over the years, I have witnessed clients and athletes begin to all of a sudden succeed as soon as they substituted water or ice tea for ALL soft drinks and begin eliminating all the other artificial "foods" from their diet.
Keep the diet soda to once-in-a-while or during a Cheat Day and watch your success soar.
