There's a commercial on TV at the moment about Special K. It says that if you eat Special K twice a day you will lose X amount of pounds a day. So you could still eat 10 donuts a day and still lose weight. Right?

Yeah, same about Diet Coke. It's got to loose pounds, so why not drink 4-5 liters a day ? }:-)
I once was drinking upwards of 4 cans of Diet Pepsi a day. My sis in-law was drinking something like 60 oz of Diet Coke per day! She had really bad migraines all the time and couldn't figure out why until she did a little research on the sweetner, aspartame. Turns out aspartame causes brain lesions and triggers migraines. Nasty shit. So she stopped drinking it, and the migraines stopped. And the sodium in sodas along with the carbonated water (even if the drink is 'diet') causes you to retain water, so you aren't losing any weight at all. It's all a sham, a disgusting marketing ploy to trick people into thinking they're being healthier and attaining their weightloss goals by sticking to diet drinks.
So a couple months ago I gave up soda altogether (except for the occasional Red Bull) I took a sip of Diet Pepsi recently, and it has a really moldy taste I never noticed before. blech.
be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle
