I'm not trying to change your mind, either. And, as I said earlier, I do drink diet soda on occasion. I am just not convinced that the answer to the original question posted in this thread -- "can...

I never spoke of danger.

What I said was:

Only here could this be interpreted as controversial or adversarial. :rolleyes:

Hey, drink the stuff if you like it and think it's safe.

FYI, research starts with animals, then moves to human subjects. This is a standard protocol.

Are you looking at the study, which concluded, "RESULTS Compared with the control condition, sucralose ingestion caused 1) a greater incremental increase in peak plasma glucose concentrations...

What specific tests were run? Did you have a Free T3? What was the value?

smh

According to the stats you posted in your Bodyspace, you've lost a little over 10 pounds in a month. That's a good rate of loss.

As others have stated, it would be a good idea for you to...

Terrible advice.

Your TDEE is at around 2130 calories. Why not try eating a little more, say, 1750 calories, and let the weight come off a little slower. I don't think you have a lot to lose at 5'9" and 150.

Well, Flex, it's attitudes like yours that made me shut down my journal here. No, I'm not "butt hurt," just tired of dealing with *******s. Of course, I'm not a bodybuilder in your eyes, so no...

I pm'd you both.

Nice garden, BSG. And some people like radishes. :p

I want to echo what Discdoggie said, as she is spot on. I have 3 children, the youngest delivered at 33 and the eldest at 40. Although weight loss isn't quite as straightforward as calories in <...
