Water, diet soda, and dieting?!


Question: Water, diet soda, and dieting!?
I admit, I'm a big soda drinker!. Diet Dr!. Pepper mostly!. For some reason I'm always thirsty!. (I've tested my blood sugar and no, I am not diabetic!.) It may be my thyroid as I do have hypothyroidsm!. But I digress!.

I was in a car accident and due to 2 surgeries stemming from it, I've gained a little weight!. My doctor recommended going to a gym, Which I did, and I've stuck to the exercises he recommended!.

I bought a stair machine like he used for my physical therapy!.!.!. and I do that at night before going to bed so my metabolism is working while I sleep, and I try to watch what I eat!.!.!.

But I wasn't losing much (if any) weight!. So my doctor suggested cutting out soda!. I only drink diet, but he said that will still cause you to gain, or to NOT lose weight!. He strongly suggested drinking water!.

So, I've started drinking mostly water (still 1 or 2 cans of soda a day, can't go cold turkey!.)

Is it true even diet soda will negatively effect a diet, or is that an old wives tale!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Yes!. Diet soda is sometimes even worse for you than regular soda!. The sugar substitutes found in them can contribute to diabetes, bone mass loss, etc, and even though they have no calories!.!.have you read the ingrediant list on them!? I'm pretty sure eating handfuls of sugar is healthier!.

Diet soda also makes some people hungry so they eat more!. Just gradually cut back on your diet soda, and hopefully you'll see improvement!.

Ask your doctor, or research it online if you're not convinced!. Hope I helped!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If you worked out in the morning before you ate instead of at night-you might see better results-or twice a day!.!.!.

as far as soda-why don't you try not drinking any for a month and see if you see any results!? Just a thought-Www@Answer-Health@Com

Look up slenda and diet sweetners!.!. nutra sweet on the net!.!. It really does go against dieting efforts!.!.!. I recently found that out the hard way!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
