also i was drinking at least 3 cans of diet coke a day and switched it out for flavored sparkling water. diet coke doesn't have any sugar, and i don't really care about the aspartame cancer thing, but i think this helped because i read somewhere that fake sugars can make you have more of a sweet tooth. i was also eating chocolate and sour patch kids all the time before i dropped diet coke. my other reason for diet coke is that it started to royally fuck up my teeth all of a sudden after years of drinking it

>over a lb lost
>one single pound

A single pint of water weighs a pound, anon. Take a shit and you end up a pound lighter.

That's not enough weight lost to actually show anything about anything.

What is it you want to discuss? Food and dieting is so simple...just have less calories out than you have calories in (genetic fat fucks need not apply).

I'm reaching my early thirties and can see my fast metabolism slowing down. Plus I like to drink good beer, so that doesn't help weight. I started getting a bit of a beer belly and fat handles. I started getting on our stationary bike at 5am, because evenings are for hobbies and beer drinking.

My diet consists of pretty healthy food. Eggs and toast, oatmeal, or a sandwich for breakfast. Soup, sandwich, leftovers for lunch. Dinner is generally a meat/starch/vegetable combo, with no more than 8oz of meat per serving. Often mixed with curries, stews, ramen style soups, meatpies...

I don't often snack, and when I do, it's a couple of biscuits, some nuts and chocolate, or fruit and caramel sauce. Never soda unless I feel like a bourbon and coke. Water or iced tea at restaurants, if not beer or wine. Occasionally swap a side salad instead of fries.

Just moderate, you fat fuck.

Intermittent fasting.

Nondigestable sweeteners DO fuck with your sweet tooth. Here's why:

Aspartame, sucralose, Acesulfame Potassium, and the like are all hundreds to THOUSANDS of times sweeter than sucrose. This is good for the food companies in a lot of ways: they spike your blood sugar just as though you're ingesting calories, making you crave more, they're sweeter than sugar, so sugar no longer does the trick for your cravings, and they are massively cheaper than real sugar due to them being engineered and the very small amounts that are necessary to sweeten things.

Not true, one of my best friends is diabetic but loves soda, and drinks lots of diet soda (he's type one and thin before any of you go memeing). He would be dead if this were true.

>the fact that diabetics are fat is a culturally shared concept

diet coke has aspartame in it. you do know that most flavored sparkling water is either
>sweetened with real sugar (more empty calories)
or
>sweetened with aspartame
its literally the same thing as diet coke, but without the added dyes that go into coke

Yes they are sweeter. Its why the stuff you get in drinks use much much less that the sweetness = regular sugar

I'm curious about this. I'm a type 1 diabetic. I'll do a fasting blood glucose test with diet sodas one of these days. Now's not a great time because I'm tweaking my basal insulin dose.

my sister is type 1 and drinks diet sodas regularly, and since i calculate and give her her insulin myself i can confirm diet soda has no effect on blood sugar
