While reading "The Obesity Code" I became aware of the issues around drinking Diet Soda, so I did some further research. I am astounded at what I found. Far from helping you to lose weight studies have found that people who change from "regular" soda to diet, without any other dietary changes, actually gain weight. The sweeteners in diet soda actually cause a greater Insulin spike than sugar does, and as it is Insulin Resistance I am wanting to reduce this is counter productive. It also appears that the artificial sweetener fools your body into thinking it is going to get sugar, and when it finds it isn't getting sugar it switches on a craving for sugar. And if you give in to that craving . . . . . . . . . . . .
So if you add to all this the fact that you are feeding your body a man made chemical, the side affects of which we don't full understand, Diet Soda may not be the best option. I am stopping using it as of now. It will be water in future. If I do have the very occasional soda, I will go for the "full fat" variety.

I have a washing on this morning, so it will be umpteen flights of stairs for me today. Aiming for 40 flights. It had been a while since I logged that many.

Have a great week and keep safe.
