At least now I know why I'm fat. It's not the six pack of beers a night, it's the six pack of Pepsi One a day! Clearly, the only solution is to drink beer all day. Time to move the extra kegerator into the office...

Flawless logic! I wholeheartedly agree...

And think about it... most of the people I see drinking diet sodas are overweight. Coincidence? I think not.

You don't want to drink too much fruit juice, Ferdie. I don't know about European juice but in the U.S.A. it has more sugar than soda!

Well, to be fair it's pretty old news. Hell, at one time sugar (of all things) was pushed for diets as it was believed to regulate your appetite.

Here's an old ad: http://www.flickr.com/photos/sa_stev...7606389427177/

So basically, drink your diet sodas, just don't cram shitloads of food into your gullet on top of it and think you're doing yourself a favor.

Exactly! The body DOES respond to caloric intake, and if you drink diet soda you are saving about 200 calories or so a can. But, that does not allow you to have a triple cheesburger with mega fries to make up for it!

Then again, some of the artificial sweetners make one wonder....

The fruitjuice I buy is fruit juice without additional suger. But I bought a fruit juicer last week, so now I make my own homemade juice.

OK, I was just looking out for you. 99% of people never look at the label of juice because we have throughout our lives had "juice = healthy" pounded into our heads.

Ever since I am working with this nutrician, reading labels became a 2nd nature. And sometimes the labels scare my shitless, the amount of calories in peanuts for example, damn! And what a lie "peanutbutter light" is, there is hardly a difference with normal peanutbutter.

It's all about counting calories. Simple math of energy consumed, energy used. You are a stong soul if you can do it!

A calorie isnt a calorie. Big mistake. Quality should come first compared to quantity. Natural peanut butter should be a staple in everyones diet.
