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:

and still keep the frog you started with.
