Convince me to give up drinking coke.

I walk for around 2 hours a day, drink plenty of water, don't eat any junk food etc.. but I just can't give up drinking at 1/2 -> 1 litre of coke a day

I know this shit is supposed to be extremely bad for you, and I've managed to give it up for at the longest a month, but I keep coming back.

is there an acceptable amount I could have a day to not suffer too much from the results or do I need to give it up entirely?

give me some statistics and scare me off it.

i didn't give it up, just cut my intake of it down.

i'm not fat though, if you're trying to lose weight it would definitely help to quit or at least cut down drastically.

If you truly must drink that shit, make it diet coke. Read the ingredients on coke, i know i dont want any of that shit in me. Though i dont drink coke mainly because it almost burns my throat swallowing it, and it bloats you up. Not something you want on /fit/

OP here: what is the main difference between diet coke and normal?
>> Anonymous
>>132096

Diet coke contains "almost" no calories. About 0.6 calories per 250ml, normal coke is around 60 calories per 250ml due to the amount of sugar and assosciated crap in it. Will check if my family has any coke in, brb.

Checked, only got sprite in but its the same stuff basically.

Sprite - 109 calories / 250ml
Diet coke - 1.5 calories /250ml

See the difference?

(OP) that's quite an amazing difference, I always assumed that diet coke was more of a marketing gimmick than anything.

I'm not sure if I'm addicted to the sugar or the caffeine in coke (probably both)

thanks! that's at least one change I can make.

Np. I used to drink coke, not alot of it though and i could never taste the difference between regular and diet. Considering a "bottle" of coke is 500ml, i'd sure as hell rather drink 3 calories than over 200. Its true that the little changes add up to a big change. If you are addicted to the caffeine, just buy caffeine pills imo.

Caffeine increases your metabolism and gives you energy to keep going, its a common product in diet pills.

I really loved coke and soft drinks a few years back. i drink one in a while and honestly, doesn't taste as good as it did back then.

it just tastes meh. the only think i like about them is the pfiz it has.. if you take away the co2 it tastes even worse..

al in all i prefer to drink a mix of concentrated blackcurrant with a mix of co2 water to coke, even though its basicaly the same shit.

No. I didn't.
I'm the 1200liter a year guy, and I'm 178cm and 73kg - so not that fat really.
And those fatties that do drink light sodas ALSO cram their face with 3x RDA of everything else, so no - can't really blame the soda for the fatness.

what about sugarless red bull? no carbs, no sugar, just a crapload of caffeine, a crapload of b12 vitamin and the usual energy drink stuff (taurine lol)

It's because there's a certain group of people out there who think a diet coke will cancel lout the affects of their double quarter pounder and three serves of fries.

you are right, sir.

also, i find it quite strong nowadays. there was a time when i could have 3 redbulls during the evening/night and then sleep like a log for 14 hours. few weeks ago i had just one sugarless and it kept me awake for 30 hours.

Convince me to give up snorting coke.

I walk for around 2 hours a day, drink plenty of water, don't eat any junk food etc.. but I just can't give up doing a eight to quarter of coke a day

I know this shit is supposed to be extremely bad for you, and I've managed to give it up for at the longest a hour, but I keep coming back.

Fellow coke fiend here.

I cut down by not allowing myself to have a can until I drank x ounces of water, and I would gradually increase the ounces over time. What happened was that I would often feel too "full" to even bother drinking the coke sometimes. Now a 12 pack lasts me 3-4 weeks instead of 3-4 days.

OP here: I've been doing the opposite of that, after I drink a can of coke I drink a small bottles of water.

I remember a guy who was in his third year of residency told us something here something I've been telling people regularly: there's been no link to aspartame cancer and humans. They tested the shit on fucking mice. I'm more than sure you can kill anything if you feed something twice it's body weight.

Drinking 1-2 cans a day won't do you any harm. That said, water is always, always the better choice. But we all have to live a little, no?

you're drinking a glass of sugar water. Look in the mirror and watch the pounds come on every time your blood sugar spikes.

Everyone knows that the dangers of Aspartame are a myth; just like evolution and the female orgasm.

Don't forget to mention that the amount they injected into mice is, in a ratio comparison, physically impossible for a human to ingest.

dude, i have the same problem...i just switched from like, coke & pepsi to drinking sobe life water and gatorade...its better for you minus the sugar ofc, but the trick is, if u give something up for a decent amount of time, you will eventually forget it. Like, i gave up sweets & cady and stuff like that, and its been so long since ive had chocolate, but if i walk past a candy bar in a grocery isle, im not even tempted slightly b/c i just lost my taste for it. You can train yourself into self-control, its fucking awesome!
