recently i was at a book store and purchased a weight loss book. the lady who sold me the book told me to stop drinking diet pop. she said that she lost seven pounds after she stopped drinking diet pop and said that diet pop tricks your body and actaully causes weight gain!? does anyone know if this is true?

Nothing tricks your body into anything...i would say shes full of you know what, your body doesnt get tricked...sorry but that shits me she should know her stuff...sometimes pop can bloat people a little and make them appear a little rounder in the gut, but thats kind of temporary anyway..wheat (yes pasta!!) does the exact same thing to some people, it depends on how you react to it...most people are fine with them both...diet pop is very low in calories and is an excellent choice instead of normal pop...if u feel bloated after diet soda then dont bother with it..if it doesnt do anything then why worry about consuming nearly 0 calories from a fizzy drink?...apart from the bloating in some people (not me thankfully, i like diet sodas) all you have to be concerned with is calorie content...and since pop is nearly 0, it isnt a big factor in the diet...sure its not as good as water, but its not evil either.

A little humour here, many people drink diet pop and gain weight simply because they don`t take into acount what THEY EAT while drinking the diet pop....For ex: As a teenager my favorite afterschool snack was a can of diet coke with a bag of doritos chips and a mars chocolate bar...My mom would lokk at me and say why botter with the diet pop and I would reply that it was all in the combination of flavors...My point is that drinking diet pop along with a healthy food intake will not make you gain weight, on the other hand if all she drank was diet pop but didn`t consider a healthy eating habit well Dah!! :), she obviously figured that since she sells books that people should take her words the truth and this where your own judgment will help you . Good luck --leanbutt
