Day 48 Report - down 1.5 kg so far this week - and a skeptical noteabout Diet Coke
Day 48 Report
The scale ticked down yet again today. At the beginning of the week I switched from Diet Coke as my main beverage to plain, unsweetened green tea. This is after seeing no weight loss one week and just 0.5 kg the week after that. This week I've lost 1.5 kg so far and the week isn't quite over yet. The only thing I changed is what I'm drinking. I am really beginning to suspect that Diet Coke adversely affects diets in a way that has more impact than mere temporary fluid retention. Could the listed calories be untrue? If it was just water retention I would have suddenly dropped over a couple of days and then been flat again. But instead I seem to be proceeding at a good pace all week long. Anyway, the total loss so far this week is 1.5 kg = 3.3 lb. This is a total loss, since starting, of 9.0 kg = 19.8 lb. Almost 20 lb! doug Day 48 kg: 126.5 / 117.5 / 69? lb: 278.3 / 258.5 |

"Doug Lerner" wrote in message ... Day 48 Report The scale ticked down yet again today. Great news! At the beginning of the week I switched from Diet Coke as my main beverage to plain, unsweetened green tea. This is after seeing no weight loss one week and just 0.5 kg the week after that. I was waiting for a follow up on this.. This week I've lost 1.5 kg so far and the week isn't quite over yet. The only thing I changed is what I'm drinking. Now that's the answer I was waiting to hear. Interesting outcome. I don't drink diet sodas at all, but know I won't start now. I'd much prefer tea or water in the evenings. Don't have any green tea - will have to get some now :-) I am really beginning to suspect that Diet Coke adversely affects diets in a way that has more impact than mere temporary fluid retention. Could the listed calories be untrue? If it was just water retention I would have suddenly dropped over a couple of days and then been flat again. But instead I seem to be proceeding at a good pace all week long. Anyway, the total loss so far this week is 1.5 kg = 3.3 lb. This is a total loss, since starting, of 9.0 kg = 19.8 lb. Almost 20 lb! Congratulations on the wonderful loss this week. Keep up the good work. doug Day 48 kg: 126.5 / 117.5 / 69? lb: 278.3 / 258.5 |

Well, this was just one person's experience -- and I expect it may be
more a matter of coincidence than what he's drinking. I'm sure it isn't because Diet Coke has calories that they're lying about on the label, anyway. I lost 130 lbs. while drinking copious amounts of Diet Pepsi. I'm not trying to recommend that anyone else consume diet soda, but I don't think it had any negative effect on my weight loss.

Congrats !!!!
I'd look more at the "positive effect" of green tea, rather than at the diet sodas companies lying. This being said, diet sodas while being weight loss friendly, aren't all that healthy.. so there! Some people loose very well while drinking diet sodas.. but I'm much more about getting healthy than about loosing weight so I don't drink them. It might just be that your body just suddently decided to cooperate.. who knows.. ;o) In any case, you did good ! -- Will~ "... so that's how liberty ends, in a round of applause."

This being said, diet sodas while being weight loss friendly, aren't all that healthy.. so there! Everybody seems to be saying the same thing here. I can't think of a good way of testing one way or the other. Though I guess we can assume *somebody* would hve noticed by now if the diet soda companies were all lying. doug |

Diet Coke has aspartame. Some have problems with aspartame some don't. When my wife has any aspartame at all not diet works for her; it blocks her loss somehow. I don't get that effect. |

there is some research that would accuse artificial sweeteners of impairing
