Tips for losing weight

[Armin]

It's funny, you know, I lost about 80 pounds over the course of five months by doing a low carb diet, and the only thing that kept me glued to the diet was the insane amount of diet coke I used to drank. It was my guilty pleasure and the only way I could control my hunger during the day.

A fine example how things can work the exact opposite way round once you change the dosage from normal to insane :rolleyes:

Also, losing 80 pounds means that BEFORE the diet you were probably well in my league of overweight (aka dangerously so) and pretty likely your organism was thus well used to increased blood insulin levels.

And while the sweetnes might not decrease blood sugar as much as in less overweight people, the large amounts of water (thats after all what 99% of diet coke is ;) ) will fill your stomach and create a feeling of saturation...

feedback loops and regulatory networks... never easy :wacko:
