I'm on a Diet... and I feel like having something that will refresh my brain and still not tip that calories counter running in my Head!
Diet Cola ! Wow ! A blessing in Disguise.
Less than 1 Calorie - is what the label says... Man I can live on this can forever and it would still make no difference to the Calorie Intake level.
This is what I thought a while ago... when i was dieting to lose weight. I introduced everything that I THOUGHT was HEALTHY for me in my routine. From fruits , raw veggies and diet cola.
I was getting a hold on the calorie levels you know...
Recently, a video changed my point of view... Sadly, I will not mention what video it was because it carries some messages I dont want to discuss in my BLOG-
Today, my question to you is "IS DIET COLA REALLY WORTH THE RISK?"
I mean what would you gain from it? it doest even guarantee a tucked in AB or a bulgy bicep -
More importantly the side effects artificial products bring to your body are far from repair.
Studies have found that Artificial sweetners (Aspartame) the main element of diet or low calorie food makes a person crave for more Carbohydrates.. and if you are already in the run to lose weight you would know what craving for Carbohydrates mean! It means you will be binging on more and more food and in return you will get fat - and not lose it as you thought you would.
Apart from this obviously as researchers have proved that this element also causes many brain damages such as Memory Loss - as it messes with the neurons of the Brain.
Apart from this, Aspartame gives you headaches - joint pain - depression - Blurred vision and what not? Name it and you have it.
"Researchers interviewed almost 60,000 pregnant Danish women about their soft-drink consumption, then compared these data with the results of the women’s births. They found that drinking one can of diet soda per day increased her risk of giving birth prematurely by 38 percent compared with women who never drank diet soda. Drinking four or more of the beverages per day increased the risk of preterm birth by 78 percent."
Its a killer for the Diabetic , A poison for the Pregnant Women and a Brain damager!
All I know is that a real diet begins with the word Natural !
You can REDUCE your quantity of natural elements you take in than REPLACE them with harmful artificial stuff.
So Next time when you pick a chewing gum that says SUGAR FREE dont be delighted but be Caucious and stay away from it....
