When you see a fat person complaining that they can't lose weight but they drink regular soda, and you tell them to drink diet because of the sugar, they say "but I don't like the taste of diet".
It's shocking how some people have no will power whatsover.
Also why do bodybuilders think that diet soda is a cheat food for dieting? hahaha
-
hahahhaha, Thats me everyday at work bro bro. I tell them to just drink diet and they will lose a couple of pounds and then they say ewwwww. I then tell them its really not different.
hahahahahah
And the bodybuilders who think diet drinks are cheating are hilliarious. I mean does all logic go out the fucking window?
I drink 12-24 diet sodas a day...hahahahhah Drink as much as you want,its as clean as water.

Because its the truth!
I bought a 12 pack of Diet Grape Soda just while I was at work and drank the whole thing.
I just got back from Wally World, and bought 4, 12 packs of Diet Pepsi Jazz. That will last only 2 days if that.
hahahahahah
-
The filtering process of the water in Diet Drinks is second to none.
A lot cleaner than tap water. hahahahahah
-
Serious question, I only drink diet pepsi or diet coke. I may have 2 to 3 cans a day but not everyday. I love Crystal Light. So I drink allot of that. A girl at the gym yesterday said diet sodas are as bad as the regular ones. Is this true and are diet soda bad in anyway

the only concern with diet sodas is because 1 in 50 million people crap their pants when they have aspartame. other than that, it's safe.
-
I used to be addicted to regular soda before I began lifting weights. Now I'm addicted to diet, and the taste of regular soda is too sweet for my tastes.

Dude, She is dumb as a fucking brick and anyone who thinks otherwise is dumb as a fucking brick.
Diet sodas have 0 calories and 0 effect on blood sugar levels so ZERO insulin response. There is nothing in it to elicit any kind of biological response in the body. Its just like flavored water. Just because its in a can and tastes good and has pretty colors does not make it bad. hahahah
Delusional fucks. If it were bad,I would be fat as fuck wouldn`t I? I drink 12-24 at least a day.

As big as you are 2 to 3 cans of diet soda isn't going to hurt you at all man. I seem to remember something about aspartame causing headaches for some people and other artificial sweeteners causing bowel disturbances. If this happens, I guess find something else to drink.

No beef with aspartame or diet soda at all actually. I guess the same way you try to "educate the masses" I do my small part too. Nothing personal, I know you can't be like this in person, so I don't pay too much attention to it anymore.

It has nothing to do with soda man. Like Goodrum 6 months ago, I didn't htink he could exist like that in the real world and make it more than maybe 15 minutes without some kind of "confrontation". Anyways, it seems that he has one personality now, so he isn't as fun to read about anymore.
Anyways, I have a hard time believing that you are like this in person, that is all. Anyways, good luck with Mr. GetBig.

I`m drinking another soda as I post. hahahahah
You never answered my question. What is your problem with Diet Soda or are you so dumb that you never knew that you can drink an unlimited amount of Diet Sodas?
Wait I know.....You only feel like a bodybuilder if you throw away all your spices,splenda packs and diet sodas so you can pretend you are on some kind of cathartic mission.
I just think you don`t know any better.

Jeff Willet:
"
I don't see any problems drinking diet sodas while you are trying to get lean. In fact, drinking diet sodas really helped me out during my contest preparation when my calories were very low. The drinks gave me something to look forward to because they taste great and were somewhat filling.
Paul Delia told me to "drink up" and not worry about it. He said to consider it part of my fluid intake each day. With clearance from Paul, I drank many diet sodas throughout my preparation and it didn't have any negative impact on getting leaner. "

Calling me dumb isn't going to get a rise is what I meant. I have a feeling Adonis isn't quite the moron he makes himself out to be on here, just needs a little education and maybe some lessons in socialization. Diet soda is fine if you like it, but, for some people, it hurts them, that is all I was saying.

You are dumb as fuck.
Man, no wonder why most people are fat,whining little girls with no clue about anything.

Im on my third soda in 10 minutes by the way. hahahahah
-
Hey guys, if you are so concerned with consuming the actual liquid from the diet sodas.. there is a new study that reveals if you stick the entire can up your ass, you can enjoy the flavors of the diet soda and also the great sensation of penetration (as the articles suggest).
For someone like ALEX , he will need to put a whole 12 pack up there though.
-
Im on my third soda in 10 minutes by the way. hahahahah
thirstier than a nympho in a sperm clinic.
i drink about a 2-liter of diet dr pep every day and at least one pitcher of crystal lite
-
Okay I am taking it that I am not fat now because of the diet sodas. Now lets talk about donuts.
-
Diet soda is Nectar of the Gods. It fills you up like no other beverage, keeping cravings at bay. It's God's gift to bodybuilding (other than Alexxx of course).
Downing 5 packets of splenda hits the spot when you're looking for something sweet.
-
Bast couldn't have said it any better.
If you have a sweet craving, take a few splenda packets under the tounge and use some will power to kill the sugar cravings.
Sugar free jello is also a good one to use.
Diet sodas are the best , they fill you up with the carbonation. When I got ready for a show and was told to cut out diet sodas, I then began wanting to cheat on my diet.
-
Im drinking another. hhahhhaha Im not going to have any left for work tommrrow.
-
TA, i've always been curious, what do you do for a living?
-
the bad thing about diet soda is it still contains carbonated water, and thus carbonic acid, which rots the teeth. it is doubly bad in regular soda because sugar causes more bacteria to develop and the process is accellerated. also, depending on the soda, the coloring helps to discolor teeth.
i usually drink about 2 diet cokes a day; the ones with splenda, not aspartame, are much better tasting imo. sprite zero is the diet that most closely resembles its sugar-counterpart....but unfortunately doesnt have any caffeine

Claim: A tooth left in a glass of Coca-Cola will dissolve overnight.
Status: False.
Origins: I
don't know of anyone who hasn't heard the rumor that too much Coca-Cola rots your innards, and the proof of this can be determined by dropping a baby tooth into a glass of it, then going back the next morning to find most of it eaten away. If Coca-Cola can dissolve a tooth overnight, imagine what it must be doing to your teeth, not to mention your stomach and digestive tract!
All such claims ignore a few salient points:
Coca-Cola will not dissolve a tooth (or a nail, or a penny, or a piece of meat) overnight.
Coca-Cola contains acids (such as citric acid and phosphoric acid) which will eventually dissolve items such as teeth (given enough time), but so do plenty of other substances we commonly ingest (such as orange juice). The concentration of acid in these products is so low that our digestive systems are easily capable of coping with it with no harm to us.
The idea that any substance which can dissolve teeth must therefore damage our teeth if we drink it is nonsensical. We don't hold drinks in our mouths for days at a time — any liquids we drink simply wash over our teeth very briefly, and our teeth are further protected by their enamel coating and the ameliorating effects of saliva.
Vince Staten describes the legendary version of this tale:
Perhaps you've heard the story. It goes something like this: At Harvard they left a fly in a Coke overnight and the next morning, the fly had been completely dissolved. The name of the university changes and so does the item to be soaked overnight, but the result is always the same: Coke eats it. The lesson is that if it does that to a fly, just think of what it does to your stomach.
To test this theory I swatted two flies: a test fly and a control fly. I put the test fly in a cup of Coke and let it soak for twenty-four hours. I put the control fly in a cup of Roto-Rooter drain cleaner and let it soak an equal length of time.
When I returned to the Coke fly the next day, I discovered, to my surprise, the fly floating around, unscathed. The Roto-Rooter fly, on the other hand, was dissolved down to a couple of tiny fly bits. The Roto-Rooter had also eaten through the bottom of the plastic cup.
Frederick Allen discusses the origins of this rumor in his book on Coca-Cola:
In the fall of 1950, a Cornell University professor named Clive M. McCay testified before a select committee in the U.S. House of Representatives that the sugar in Coke caused cavities. And, he said, the phosphoric acid was a dangerous additive. Giving a vivid account that instantly became part of the national folklore, Dr. McCay described how a tooth left in a glass of Coca-Cola would soften and begin to dissolve in a period of two days.
Coca-Cola's top chemist, Orville May, explained to Hobbs [then president of Coca-Cola] and the company's other executives that anything containing sugar and phosphoric acid — fresh orange juice, for example — would dissolve teeth over a period of time. The point was people did not hold food and beverages in their mouths for days on end. They swallowed, and their saliva washed away the sugar and acid before lasting damage was done. Otherwise the whole country would be toothless.
Mark Pendergrast tackles the same subject:
McCay made headlines with his allegations that Coke would eat away the marble steps of the Capitol Building and soften teeth placed in a glass of the beverage. "The molar teeth of rats were dissolved down to the gum line," McCay told the politicians, when "given nothing to drink except cola beverages for a period of six months."
In response, Coca-Cola's head chemist, Orville May, testified that McCay offered a "distorted picture" intended to frighten unsuspecting consumers. May pointed out that the .055 percent level of phosphoric acid was far below the 1.09 percent acid content of an orange and that McCay's studies ignored the neutralizing effect of saliva. Finally, he noted that orange juice or lemonade would also dissolve ten-penny nails and eat holes in the Capitol steps.
We have to agree with Vince Staten's conclusion:
I think there are two lessons here: Don't believe all those Coke stories you hear. And don't, for any reason, let a fly drink Roto-Rooter.

Why do you post things like this?
I dont know why, but I laughed when I saw your response to TA's comment.
For those of you that drink Diet Coke/Pepsi...
Phenylalanine - Aspartame
Phenylalanine is a hidden danger to anyone consuming aspartame. Most consumers don't know that too much Phenylalanine is a neurotoxin and excites the neurons in the brain to the point of cellular death.
So T.A. you might not be fat, but cellular death should be great...let us know how it turns out.
A few more facts
The 1976 Groliers encyclopedia states cancer cannot live without phenylalanine. Phenylalanine makes up 50% of aspartame.
ADD/ADHD, emotional and behavioral disorders can all be triggered by too much Phenylalanine in the daily diet. If you are one in ten thousand people who are PKU or carry the PKU gene, Phenylalanine can cause irreversible brain damage and death, especially when used in high quantities or during pregnancy. Phenylalanine is 50% of aspartame, and to the degree humans consume diet products, Phenylalanine levels are reaching a dangerous peak.

yes, splenda is your friend

hahhahahah thats garbage. Diet Sodas actually prevent forms of cancer by up to 50 percent in some cases. I can`t wait for someone to call bullshit so I can copy and paste the scientific study and findings.
-
Furthermore I find it highly amusing that a lot of use steroids and some even from underground shady sources and then get all scared about some Diet Sodas being harmful.
hahahahahahahahahahhaaha D E L U S I O N A L.

Ummmm.... it's called brushing your teeth several times a day so your teeth aren't in soda, or anything else, for too long. There's nothing wrong with diet soda in moderation.
-
from everything ive read the jury still seems to be out concerning the safety of aspartame...there is a book out called sweet poison that links use of apartame to some pretty nasty health problems...i still drink it but i try to keep it in moderation.
http://www.sweetpoison.com/aspartame-side-effects.html
as far as bodybuilding use i think the stuff is great...especially dieting for a show...i usually follow a pretty extreme keto diet and having that sweetness from diet soda really helps me get through the day...i have drank diet soda all the way up to a couple days out and have never had a problem with it smoothing me out or being bloated as some people think it does.
-
hahahhaha, Thats me everyday at work bro bro. I tell them to just drink diet and they will lose a couple of pounds and then they say ewwwww. I then tell them its really not different.

adonis you are a moron... 12-24 diet sodas a day? think about all the fake chemicals in those drinks.....and they are clean like water?
how about drinking water with no man made artificial sweeteners that can cause cancers?
read and learn

I've had severe problems with aspartemene poisoning. About a year and a half ago i started getting panic attacks, migraines, muscle spasms, and in addition i developed a nervous twitch. I thought it was gear related so i went to the doctor who gave me a thorough examination - but said even given what i was taking [at the time 500mgs test, 40mgs dbol - monster cycle etc] he couldn't see where the problems were coming from. He said i was just, "going through a rough patch" and sent me on my way. However, the symptoms started getting worse so i went back to a different Dr who told me the same thing. I demanded different tests but they all came back negative - according to them i was fine. I was by now seriously freaked out as it seemed that all these problems were in my mind. Things really came to a head when my vision started to fuck up. I was walking round a supermarket when my eyes just dimmed - as though someone turned them down. I went to an eye specialist who told me everything seemed fine and i was worrying about nothing. As a last resort i went to a kinesiologist who tested me for various allergies and then told me about something called aspartamene. I'd never heard of it but did some research .... FUCK! I couldn't believe what i was reading. Asparamene is a poison that is actually illegal in some countries. It triggers cancer in some people, has made some people go blind and has actually killed. Aspartamene poisoning is actually called by many Drs the "fake MS", as it causes many of the same symptoms. I checked all the products i used that had asparamene in:
protein powder
protein flapjacks
The sweetner i'd put on my oats
ALL diet drinks [and some 'ordinary' soft drinks
most chewing gum
fruit cordials [even the sugar ones have it in as well]
Now this is stuff i'd have everyday - and had been having everday for years. It had all built up and nearly destroyed my system. My symptoms started to clear up after a couple of months and i'm fine now, but if i even [mistakenly] have something with it in it all immediatley comes back.
Most people arn't affected by aspartamene - but some are, so why take the risk? It is a poison. Even the Mexican govt are considering banning it and in india it has health warnings like tobacco. If third world countries like them are taking it seriously, why arn't we in the west? Crazy
