[QUOTE="OK Corgi Rancher, post: 4311618, member: 45773"] We'd all be better off if we completely eliminated sodas of all types, with and without sugar, completely from our lives. I switched to the "zero" type of sugar free sodas a few years ago. They don't spike my sugar but I have gained weight. I'm not a total fatass, just got that late middle-aged dad bod, I guess. But my weight gain isn't due to diet drinks. There aren't any calories in them so those alone are not the cause for weight gun. Mine is due to overeating...and not necessarily bad stuff. I just have a problem with portion control. I don't sit down and have a few chips or a few pretzels. I wanna eat half the damn family-sized bag. Between my lack of discipline with portion control and reduced activity due to various reasons, my weight's gone up a bit. In the fall/winter of 2020/2021 I lost 65 pounds...down to about 188. I've now gained about 15 of those pounds back and hate it. I've read that artificially sweetened foods actually cause a person to want to eat more sweets. Basically, the artificial sweeteners don't provide the energy boost that sugar does. So the body continues to ask for more and more sugar to get that energy. At least that's how I understand it...the Reader's Digest version. [/QUOTE]
