ChosenOne Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 At work I am terrible with it, but the other 4 days i am normally pretty good of not having them too often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Make It Naaaashty Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 Junk food is too good to control but soda is pretty easy. Prolly eat junk food 4-5 days in a week but soda only 1 can every 2 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JYD Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 Haven't had regular soda in years, probably 4 years? Don't really like it... I drink Diet Coke about 4-5 times per week I'd say, though. As far as junk food, I probably eat a bit too much of it. But whatever. I'm about average weight for my height, I exercise daily, so I don't think it's too big of a deal. Most of the time I eat healthy, full rounded meals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I drink Diet Coke about 4-5 times per week I'd say, though.lmfao I've heard that's even worse than regular soda. For years, people have thought that diet soda was the way to go if you wanted to cut down on the sugar and calories that come with regular soda. Apparently, they are now finding that it might not be such a safe choice after all. Researchers have now determined that drinking one soda a day, whether it's diet or regular, is associated with a much higher rates of heart disease and diabetes.  They've associated regular, sugar-sweetened soda, with those health concerns for years, but this is the first study that finds that diet soda is also an indicator of future health issues. They don't think that it is the ingredients in the diet soda that lead to health problems, but that drinking soda (of any variety) is an indicator of other questionable eating patterns. Which just confirms what we've all known for years. You can not redeem a quarter pounder with cheese and large fries with the addition of a diet soda.http://slashfood.com/2007/07/25/diet-soda-no-better-for-you-than-regular/#ixzz1IKny5tfn Diet pop does away with the sugar. Instead, it's flavored with chemicals that taste sweet but don't provide any energy. These chemicals make it possible for diet pop to taste sugary, so you can satisfy your soda cravings but still have zero calories.By the end of the study, the risk of becoming obese had increased by 41 percent for each can of diet soft drink subjects drank per day. For each level of consumption (less than one half can a day, one half to one can a day, one to two cans a day, or more than two cans a day), diet soft drink users had a higher risk of being overweight than people who drank regular soft drinks.http://diet.lovetoknow.com/wiki/Why_Diet_Pop_is_Bad "pills with a million side effects, take 'em when the pain's felt, wash 'em down with diet soda, killin off your brain cells" - Lupe Fiasco http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agc7WJz5fsQ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted two articles before the song. but yeah, Lupe speaks the truth. the articles I posted mention how they use chemicals in diet sodas in place of natural sugar, so I wouldn't be surprised if diet soda kills some brain cells. in fact, I'm looking it up now and they have a facebook page for it lol. http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2202523693 more links: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=diet+soda+kills+brain+cells Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Truth Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 (edited) I'm not saying it's a fact that diet soda kills brain cells, but it's certainly a possibility. if they use chemicals to make these sodas, you at least have to think it's a possibility. I wouldn't be surprised if our own drinking water has harmful effects.  "used to put minerals and zinc in it, now they say they put lead and stink in it" - Mos Def Edited April 2, 2011 by The Truth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't need you giving me your stupid [expletive]ing 2nd grade research project to inform me that Diet Soda is no safer than regular. Second of all, as far as watching your weight, Diet soda is definitely better alternative. I lost about 50 lbs a few years back, from switching off high sugar products food and beverage wise, but mainly soda, and haven't gone back since and have been able to maintain my weight pretty well since then (about 5'7" - 5'8" 145-150 lbs) by using Diet coke as an alternative (although I mostly drink water anyway).

*Swish* Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 not at all. I still live in my parents house and its my mom that does every meal. My sister and mom started a diet so there is nothing with a lot of sugar in the house.. I feel too healthy. I sometimes eat fast food with my friends.. not too much. Maybe once a month or once 2 weeks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Instigator Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 I drink soda rarely, like once or twice a month Snacks all the time (sunchips, doritos, kettle cooked sharp cheddar = ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Splenda was originally made as an antifreeze and chemically is very similar to ddt.. But Like i care, anything nowadays can kill you. I eat fast food at least once a day, 7 days a week. Had taco bell thursday, a burger friday, and probably gonna have pop eyes today. Life is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dash Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 I only drink sodas when I'm thirsty at a party or whatever, other than that never. Â As for junk food, I barely eat it. Maybe once every two or three days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
