I may have given him a little on height and weight TBH. He used to be kind of sensitive about it.

I'm sure the drinking (beer not diet soda) and smoking from age 14 (he did subsequently quit those much later in life) plus genetics had more to do with it. His dad was short, he died when my brother was very young, our mom, also short, remarried. I'm 6'1", my dad was 6 foot (5'11 3/4 according to Uncle Sam).

Diet Coke tastes terrible

It tastes like dishwater. But for some reason after a while the taste become good. But since I quit drinking cokes a year ago, they all taste bad, diet or not.

I like Diet Coke. I am of average build.

I don't believe it's going to help me lose weight, but I certainly feel it's better than drinking multiple cans of regular coke every day in terms of calorie intake.

If you are gonna "give up" and indulge in a Coke, just have ONE real one.

Drinking multiple a day and thinking it's healthy is silly. It's like trying to find a healthy Twinkie. Doesn't exist.

That shite's hideous. You're better off drinking less regular coke or drink water.

I have sworn off the stuff. All of it. But I love the taste of Coke Zero (or whatever the new name is).

If you wanna drink a Diet Coke, that's your right, but...


I think many of the fatties who drink Diet Coke would be better served learning how to control their impulses instead. They are addicted to sweet taste, and even though Diet Coke won't give them the calories, they still seek other foods that will. Diet Coke is just a supplement to the other garbage. They should empower themselves to cut out their addiction to taste and learn to appreciate healthier alternatives.

Worst thing they will do is damage the enamel of your teeth through acidic erosion.
