Mind you I had a much bigger factor involved so whatever influence drinking or not drinking it would have had was washed out completely by other things, so maybe not the best data point.
Also walked 15,000 steps the other day, for me that's crazy. Last year I averaged maybe 2-3000 a day. |
My Coke Zero habits are horrendous. It's just so refreshing. I like the flavor, and I don't get that syrupy feeling that you do with sugared pops.
I do think the data against diet sodas is somewhat correlation vs. causation. People who drink diet sodas, vs water and other alternatives, are going to be more likely to also partake in fast food and other less healthy diet habits.
And congrats on the weight loss! That's huge. You're down a whole person.
