diet cokes

[loana]

Ok so I am thinking more and more about why my weight gain.. I dranked a couple of diet cokes a day about 2 days after I started.. the first two days I lost and a bit more the day after but I noticed it slowed down with the diet cokes.. it just dawned on me.. I been pretty down today thinking this is not working to me maybe I should go back to my ED ***runs and hides*** and than I thought.. NO is probably the diet cokes and maybe even the protein bars.. so NO MORE... NOTHING but water and well maybe a green tea here and there hoping I use the bathroom soon too!
I WILL LOOSE WEIGHT DARN IT!!!!!!! I CAN DO IT!

Re: diet cokes

I was the same way... I began 3 weeks ago today and lost 6 pounds super fast. Then I started drinking Diet Dr. Pepper Cherry Vanilla and wa...la... I stopped loosing weight. I have been on a stall for the past week. So as of today... no more of those drinks!!! I looked and they do have sachrin (sp) in it so that may be the cause of the stall.

Re: diet cokes

The caffiene in Diet Coke (even the one with Splenda) can cause stalls. I'm one person whom that hasn't happened to yet. I still never have NO more than 1 in the same day. I kind of use it as dessert. I also have found it better to drink much water. 200 ounces a day to be exact. It's hard to do when you've drank so much diet soda. I used to drink 8 - 12 a day!! Yuck!!! No wonder I was so fat! You sound committed, so get rid of the diet soda, and drink lots and lots of water, I swear that has been so instrumental in losing 50 pounds so far, in just over 3 months.....

Good Luck!

Re: diet cokes

Wow Loana You sound just like me I definitely need to cut out all of the diet cokes. You also have 3 beautiful boys and all around the same ages as mine are. I think that is cool.

Re: diet cokes

I am a usual tea drinker so cutting that out has been REALLY hard. But I was using a diet Dr. Pepper at lunch for a "treat" but I have cut that out today and forward. I want to meet my goal without getting discouraged.

I used the keto. sticks last night and I had a trace. This morning I was the next level up. I also had lost another pound this morning when I weighed in.

Re: diet cokes

Loana,

The first week I was stopped up and I started taking 2 stool softeners in the morning and now I'm fine.

I cut out tea, cokes, etc. The only thing I'm drinking now is water and using the bathroom a lot!!! But hey at least I know I can't go wrong there... so if something messes up I know it's my food intake!!

Re: diet cokes

Thank you for the compliment! You'll get there too!

As far as the frequent bathroom trips, don't give up, your body will get used to it and they'll slow down. Especially at night, (that was kind of frustrating).

One other thing, you make experience some headaches, as your body goes through withdrawl, once again....it will pass!!

You'll be so happy with your results I promise. By the way, I edited my statement, I wanted to be sure I said...

I drink NO more than 1 per day!! Haha I was typing so quick, I skipped the one little word, I re-read it and yikes!! Bad Scooter! Sorry.

It's a treat, and that's how I look at it, I count it as one sweetened item for the day. Basically 1 carb.

Good Luck!

Re: diet cokes

Talking rain sparkling water is pretty cool to drink, especially if you like the carbonation. Costco has cases of them in the drinks section, if you have a Costco near you. Most grocery stores carry that as well. My husband drinks lime Perrier now (i love to tease him about that.) But it is really good; just funny for this guy to insist on his Perriers. It's good stuff!
