re: Lets discuss coke zero, and weight gain (or lack of)

I went 8-9 months logging every thing I ate and exercised into My Fitness Pal while doing P90X twice.

Took a 5 week break in between but still tracked stats.

Tanita scale weight every day at the same time. Kept all the stats from it, daily. Weight, Body Fat %, Water weight %, Gut fat and the rest.

After being my own 6’ lab rat, a 12 oz diet soda impacted my body the same as 350-400 additional calories.

There may be studies X, Y and Z that say different things but I believe my own experience to be valid and I will drink a regular soda over a diet one, if forced to make the choice. But I really don’t drink any soda at all.

Give me Yerba Matte tea, water, Zip Fizz, La Croix or similar and I’m good.
