Hello darlings!
I have many wonderful people in my life who are addicted to diet coke. One in particular is participating in a family weight loss competition. When she came to me for advise one of the first things I told her was to cut the diet coke out. I know it's much easier than said trust me. My poison is Mountain Dew. There is just something about that green liquid I find ohhh soooo yummy. When I go to Taco Bell (once in a blue moon... or else I wouldn't be a fit bottomed girl haha) I always get a small mt. dew....when I go to the movies.... small mt. dew, but other than that I fortunately have never been a soda drinker. Even when I go out I've never been a rum and coke or vodka soda gal... its Vodka Tonics for this fit bottomed girl.
Why is soda so bad.... it spikes your blood sugar! This causes your body to produce lots of insulin. Your poor liver wants to rid your blood of all the excess sugar so it turns it into FAT!!!! Soda also raises your blood pressure. Your poor liver wants to help again so it dumps sugar back into your blood stream.... see the dangerous cycle?
Be kind to your liver. All it wants to do is help and all we continue to do is abuse the poor thing!
I don't suggest cutting soda out of your diet all at once. If you are addicted to soda you are going to experience terrible withdraw headaches and shakes. If you are a 6 a day person start by cutting that in half for a few days... its important to slowly ween yourself off or else you'll feel so crummy you will give up.
Instead of soda... maybe have a glass of water with a few lemons in it ;)
