Nutrition and Weight Loss Ideas

One of my pet peeves is the amount of soda that I see people drinking every day. And, most of them are drinking one of the diet varieties with artificial sweeteners.

Can you guess what these diet soda drinkers will tell you if you ask them why they’re drinking that? Maybe not all of them, but I’ll bet the greater majority of them will say they’re “watching their weight!” They’ll tell you there’s no calories in these drinks.

That statement is true — these drinks don’t have any calories. But what’s also true, is they don’t really help a person lose weight. In fact, many studies have clearly shown that diet soda may do the exact opposite: make people gain weight.

Recently, epidemiologist Sharon Fowler, from the University of Texas, presented research data to the American Diabetes Association on soda consumption. In her words …

“What we saw was that the more diet sodas a person drinks, the more weight they were likely to gain.” In a CBS news article, nutritionist Melainie Rogers describes the same findings in her work with obese patients.

So, why is that? There is some thought that it’s psychological. The diet soda drinkers feel they can eat more because they’re getting fewer calories in their sodas. There is also the thinking that the artificial sweeteners have a tendency to increase the appetite. And then there’s the thinking that aspartame and sucralose disrupt insulin function.

The one thing we do know for sure is that drinking diet sodas — or sodas of any kind — can be harmful to your health. Whether you’re trying to lose weight or not, you should avoid them entirely.

What’s better? Well, if you’ve been a reader here for any period of time, you’ll know I’m a big believer in water. There is also fruit juice, especially the low-sugar fruit-juice concentrates. Just mix some of that with some sparkling water and you have a great tasting drink.

You can also order “The Secret” from the Spiritual Cinema Circle.

The primary theme behind “The Secret” is the “Law of Attraction”. This law basically says that what we think about or desire — what we believe — what our feelings are about whatever we’re desiring — and what sort of action we take concerning those desires — will determine what we will attract into our lives. Learning how to apply the “Law of Attraction” is “The Secret”.
