Question for OS nutrition guys.

[PVarck31]

I have stopped drinking regular pop in hopes of losing some weight. Its been about two weeks. I have been drinking a lot of Coke Zero. Is this an ok substitute. I have heard that Diet pop contains a chemical that tells your body to store fat. Is this true? Can I expect to lose weight by doing this, or do I need to cut out all forms of soda?

Drink nothing but water. If you need a sweet fix, go for the Coke Zero once in a while, but drink nothing but water.

100% agree

Also keep water with you at all times. Honestly I would sip on it throughout the day.

What about juices, tea, and stuff like that?

Juice = tons of sugar
Unsweetened tea is fine
Sweetened tea is full of sugar

If you're trying to lose a couple lbs don't drink calories.

Sugar = simple carb = doesn't do **** for you = spikes insulin = hyper/crash = makes you fat = people don't realize this

Grean tea is the best for you.. cleans out toxins

I drink alot of water, green tea, crystal light, some juices(really gotta check the labels man)

main thing though man when your body gets on that water kick it feels alot better because you flush out alot, even weight.

You can go to wholefoods and get you some stevia sweetner. takes a pinch to sweeten anything at all and i literally mean a pinch, a small one.

I drink nothing but water and starbuck's and my weight is fantastic. Stay away from the yucky sodas.

What this man said.

I stopped drinking soda two years ago. I still had whatever I wanted to eat, and lost like 20 lbs in just two months (to be fair I played a lot of basketball in that time period, but I also had played a lot before I stopped drinking soda and didn't lose weight).

I suggest getting some Crystal Lite or something if you'd like flavor. The ones that I use have like 10 calories for a full bottle of water.
