I didn't read it, but it should cover at least these four things:
1) The carbonation stretches your stomach so that next time you eat you have to eat more to feel full. The press still hasn't figured this out for the most part, but someday they will.
2) If it isn't the diet stuff, the sudden sugar surge spikes your insulin level and tells your body to put on fat (odd but it makes sense since the body is a kluge anyway!).
3) If it is the diet stuff, I personally feel that Nutrasweet is some of the most insidious stuff invented by man on many fronts. Try to avoid too much of it. If it is old it breaks down into ketones and wood alcohol, neither of which are good for you. This is one of many problems, but I just want to give you a peek. There are low-calorie sweeteners out there that are much less unhealthy for you, or in some cases maybe actually healthier! :-)
4) Drink juice, milk, and water. If it was good enough for your caveman ancestors, it's probably good enough for you! :-) Beer may be an exception here, but I have to do a lot more research before I come to any conclusions though. |
