Lol!! This is so not true. All my thin friends restrict calories and drink diet coke/sugar free coffee drinks. [/quote]

Well one of the biggest sources of calories is sugar-filled drinks, so it's not bad to drink sugar free beverages. Of course water would be healthier but I would rather drink diet Coke than regular Coke. [/quote]

This is poor advice, as all the recent research shows that consumption of sugar free drinks sweetened by artificial sweeteners actually drives higher consumption of calories overall. This is likely because  the brain and gut system is much more complex than we even understand entirely, but certainly the taste of sweet tells the brain calories are being consumed but when no actual energy source hits the gut, it drives the brain to keep consuming to get the energy. [b]So again numerous studies have shown that overall those who consume those types of drinks end up eating more.[/b] It is far better for health to learn to consume water or unsweetened tea (green is especially healthful due to the polyphenols etc.) rather than consuming any fizzy or other sweets substitute drinks.[/quote]

Okay, then why are the thin people drinking diet soda, as noted by the PP?
I don't normally drink soda, but if I had to I would rather drink diet than drink a regular soda full of 39 grams of sugar. [/quote]

Honestly I usually see fat people drinking soda, regular and diet. Thin people drink water. [/quote]
