What's the deal with diet soda? Why cut it out?

I drink a ton of it. But I'm getting to point that I don't even like the taste anymore. What other kind of caffeine can I drink?[/quote]

You read that right: Diet soda doesn't help you lose weight after all. A University of Texas Health Science Center study found that the more diet sodas a person drank, the greater their risk of becoming overweight. Downing just two or more cans a day increased waistlines by 500%. Why? Artificial sweeteners can disrupt the body's natural ability to regulate calorie intake based on the sweetness of foods, suggested an animal study from Purdue University. That means people who consume diet foods might be more likely to overeat, because your body is being tricked into thinking it's eating sugar, and you crave more.[/quote]

As for what is a better way to get your caffeine fix, honestly, I would say tea. Green tea is good. Black tea is good. Neither of them are going to be SWEET, so it'll take time to get used to. A healthier strategy would be to wean off caffeine all together, but speaking as the woman sitting at her desk with an iced coffee right now, I understand that that may not be realistic.[/quote]
