Normally when someone is on a diet, they tend to search for foods with clear
DIET labels, and big words that say
LOW CALORIE. Yes, something may actually be labeled as diet because of its low calorie amount but in reality, its not that good for you at all. Something that surprised me that was actually bad for you is diet soda. I personally stopped drinking soda a long time ago because in general, all sodas are bad for you, but I would sometimes give into at least drinking a diet soda. In reality, diet sodas are worse for you and cause you to GAIN weight over time. You might think, how is that even possible? If I'm drinking a diet soda with zero calories, there is no way I can gain weight from it, right? Wrong. A daily intake of diet sodas have shown to cause more weight gain over time. Naturally, were fat-seeking, sugar-feined Americans who want everything super sized. Our bodies have evolved to accept natural sugar and anticipate the intake of sugary foods, so when we trick our bodies and drink artrificial sweetened sodas, our body "tricks" us back. When we drink a sugary, sweet drink, our body is ready to accept the sugar. Unfortunately, our body is let down because it does not get any sugar that it's been waiting for. This makes the body create it's own fat, and a study shown proved that you gain weight and become more hungry when you drink a diet soda. It also increases the risk for metabolic syndrome, and ultimately you end up with a horrible metabolism. This doesn't mean in any way that regular soda is good for you, because it is not at all. I'm not saying you should ban soda from your diet, but maybe consider cutting down to once a month or even once a week to overall have a healthier body.
