healthy stuff

my opinion on the matter is to stay away from soda entirely— but that’s just me. after basically eliminating it from my diet (i can’t bring myself to drink it anymore ‘cause i hate the carbonation), i have no desire to. 

both regular soda and diet soda have their pros and cons:

it’s up to you to decide what’s best. either way, in moderation, i say it’s okay to have either. for “optimum” health, i’d say not to drink soda at all, but one can is definitely way better than multiple cans a day.

i know how hard it can be to get rid of old habits, so kudos to you for doing something about it! :)

ps. the mother of a friend of mine has recently been suffering from seizures, and one of the suspected causes is aspartame (the artificial sweetener in diet sodas).

i mean, it’s important to note that she has been drinking diet soda “religiously” for 15 years so that’s definitely a contributing factor; however, i did want to bring that to your attention to provide a lil extra info.

Don’t sweat it. Good job on being moderate. I’m sure you know deep down that a can every night is not going to hurt your fat loss. I know someone for whom it helps curb his hunger, but people’s responses will vary. As long as it doesn’t cause you to crave more food, you’re okay.
