Haha

If I wanted to be cruel to I really, really could be right now


Could you? Maybe?

Who knows...


dunno

I used to drink nothing but coke and then when I stopped I lost about three stone instantly, so I imagine drinking diet versions does make a differnce


Doesn't surprise me in the slightest

Look on the label of any 500ml soft drink - 60% of your daily sugar allowance apparantly!


it's never that simple

Diet drinks just have sugar substitutes.


truestory:

i think i'm addicted to sweetner.


i'll have

a huge super doopa meal, with extra fries, and the works in the burger. But, i'm watching my figure, so i'll just have a diet coke...


I can go threw a 2 liter bottle of coke in 1 sitting

thats around 900 calories and a quick trip to diabeaties my friends


ive got nothing against them

I just find it hilarious when you see a stock piled cupboard of quavers and diet coke. It's like they must read the can and think "I'm getting slimmer by the day".


In all fairness Diet Coke does have like 0.4calories in it

it does have a purpose because sometimes I want a drink with no calories that isn't water.


Robinsons?

god I love Robinsons.


one of the things i truely

and utterly miss about not living in the UK. You can find it over here, buts its fucking pricey, and there's not Summer Fruits Barley in sight.


I'm drinking Summer Fruits now!

you should get a bulk order from Makro or something.


i should.

theres nothing quite like an ice cold glass of squash!


thats the thing though

it doesnt help people loose weight, but im sure it stops people putting even more on, the amount of sugar in coke is silly and probably can account for more than the rda in just a few cans so drinking diet coke makes perfect sense for people already overweight and it tastes better


Oh my God I know

Also people buy weight watchers ice crea. If you're watching your weight, don't fucking eat ice cream!!!


i only buy diet.

tastes better, innit.


N n n n n n nnnnnnn NO!

you so wrong! :D OG Coke is so much better!!


^ this was in response to diet coke

Cherry Coke is a fine drink also


people saying diet is better

if you arent women you should hang your head in shame


no, i can taste the sugar.

urggghhhhhhh, so sticky! not refreshing at all. c'mon diet coke lovers, where are you?


:D

diet coke hooooraaayyyy!!!


present!


whats the big fuss

i hate this old chesnut

no offense, but some guy probably said this about twenty years ago in new york in front of a brick wall (so whats the deal with fat people that drink diet coke) and it still gets rolled out as biting or witty insight time after time.
like people who go 'right yeah...the incredible hulk yeah...when he gets angry yeah...all his clothes go...apart from his trousers yeah!!!!ha. mental. to quote simon pegg, they do that because otherwise you would see his big green cock.

the irony of fat people drinking diet coke. not funny, and not that ironic. lets drop it.


busted

humpf


i buy diet coke

because its alot more refreshing and it tastes like the watered down stuff you get at cinemas.
however, im not obese.
however, i am a male.

i think the lol still applies.


1 can of regular coke has about 10 teaspoons of sugar

diet has 0

and fuck it, i'd rather spend my calories on beer (i'm critically obese btw)


lol


i hate everything about obese people

this being just one of them, see also them buying salad, them blaming their glands, them breathing, i wish they could all be given the choice get slim or die


I think Holy Moly put it nicely:

Attention Fat People!
Diet Coke is not a magic potion!


obese people making lifestyle changes to curb obesity

meets hostile responses on internet forum.

Switching to low calorie drinks is pretty much a no-brainer for reducing your intake. High cal drinks actually make a fairly significant contribution to obesity in a lot of people.


just drink water or something

or fruit juice


caffeine


also

fruit juice has a fuck load of sugar in it


yeah but if you drink it as part of a healthy diet

its a good thing. which incidentally is the best way to lose weight, healthy diet + regular exercise.


obvz

but you could eat/drink anything as part of a healthy diet and still be slim, as long as it was in moderation. And fruit juice does really need to be take in strict moderation - it definitely isn't the way to quench thirst

also, the best way to lose weight is to be addicted to meth


I'm sorry, I know this is all in good jest

but it is pretty easy to sit there and score points on a message board at the expense of obese people trying to make even the slightest of lifestyle changes that might contribute towards better health.

Oh, isn't it dreadful that there are people in the world who don't subscribe to skinny indie kid chic?


jonny_rat is the voice of reason

some of the rest of you are rubbish. And uninformed.
