Diet soda?

If so, that's probably your biggest obstacle to losing weight dude.

What happens is that when your tongue senses sweetness, it sends a signal to the liver to expect sugars. I'm simplifying this, but the end result is that your liver will release stored sugars into your blood while expecting to get it's stores replenished.

Because you aren't consuming a real sugar your liver goes into a sugar deficit of sorts. Because the liver doesn't get this, it 'demands' that you eat so that it can restore it's levels. This results in your appetite increasing and forcing you to eat when normally you wouldn't have had to.

You'd have been better off in the first place drinking a sugary soda! Obviously that's not a good choice however, and you should drink water. Avoid anything with aspartame and splenda, which are both toxic anyways.

This dude down the street from me, for two years I told him if he was to do just one thing to lose weight (something easy), that would be to cut out sodas. He did, and he dropped 40 pounds.
