LOL a can of Red Bull is ok every now and then but that stuff is terrible on the body if you drink lots of it. HAd a friend that was consuming cans of the stuff during her final exams and she ended up a shaking, jabbering wreck by the end of it.

That just goes to prove that education is bad for your health.

All fizzy drinks are bad for your health! http://www.organicconsumers.org/school/ ... 021605.cfm

There seems to be one small flaw in the study. People drink diet drinks because they are overweight. That doesn't necessarily mean that people are overweight because they drink diet drinks.

You need a control group to make a scientific study otherwise you can't tell what's cause and what's effect.

Those things will kill you...I have never ever had a diet soda and I know I am not missing anything!

What is the purpose of someone ordering a diet coke when their a$$ is hanging over the sides of a chair ordering a double cheeseburger, large french fries or a large pizza with extra cheese? They are overweight from the food that they eat. If they had good eating habits and possibly had 1 can of diet soda a day there probably wouldn't be a weight gain. But if they were drinking a liter of it through the course of the day there may be slight weight gain. With overweight people, take the diet soda off the menu and they will still remain overweight and continue to expand.

Overweight people find every excuse in the book for the reason they are overweight. Years ago it used to be glandular. Yeah, the gland between their nose and their chin. Never heard an overweight person say: I have bad eating habits and I enjoy eating that's why I'm overweight.

excercise regularly and you won't be overweight no matter what u eat -_-

tony89 , to an extent. You need calorie deficeit to lose weight, but people shouldn't under eat. Did you know it's recently been found that many cases of suspected MS are actually due to aspartame poisoning, where people have too many diet drinks, and eat foods containing sweetners rather than actual sugars? Food as it were for thought.

More urban myth Chocs, http://www.aspartame.net/rumors/Asparta ... ternet.asp

Do you believe EVERYTHING you read on t'internet?

Mind you, thinking about it? The ex Mrs Dillon did drink copious amounts of the stuff! And I always put her mood swings and violent temper down to Mad Cow Disease, who knows eeh?

Chocoholic , u seem to be really into this weight watching thing. i had to google MS and aspartame to make sense of wht u were saying
but nyways...the idea of loosing weight is simply to burn more calories than u consume. if ur over weight good chance is you love eating, so under eating is not an option. hence u excercise....which can be fun if u put ur head to it.

besides this sweetners n stuff dont make sense to me....if ur unhealthy start by eating healthier stuff not gulp down evn more chemicals n crap :S

ive got a frnd who's soo into this health stuff...he doesn't have and has never had, since the ages that i've known him atleast, anything from these fast food chains or sodas or sweetners or energy drinks. he's fit as hell and eats aloot, even sweets n chocolates n stuff. He's the living proof of my point

tony89 , You're a brave man Tony Giving Chocs advice about healthy eating!

Get him told Chocs!

lol why Bethsmum , is she a human-hogging monster?

There is nothing to tell, it is how I said it and thats it !

tony89 , Chocs is a bit of an expert on fitness, diet and health. There is nothing you can tell her!

Don't worry Bethsmum , my friends Google and Wikipedia will handle her well

Jus curious tho, is she a lean, 25 year old fitness first instructor or a chubby, 16 yr old google-geek desperate to loose weight to woo potential boyfrnds

Oh dear! LOL You've just given me a heart attack! I'm afraid I can't say Tony. I will have to leave it to Chocs to give you the info you require. I think it's safe to say she's not 16 anymore.

Bethsmum , well chocs aside, i jus read ur post about ur trip to dubai...so you don't reside in dubai?

tony89 , No you're absolutely correct, undereating isn't an option. And if you're working out you actually need to eat back those calories. But it's the 'type' of calories that you'r eating that make the difference. Basically for an individuals weight, height, there will be a daily calorie ideal intake, that can be adjusted depending whether you need to put on or lose weight. I always say everything in moderation, restrictive diets don't work and denying certain things only leads to cravings and binge eating.

Age is just a number in my book. I've always been active, I used to be involved in competative sport: Cross country running, competitive horse riding, swimming, shooting, these days I'm a watersports junkie and am actually currently doing my health, fitness and nutrition qualifications - so yeah I'm learning ALOT and doing tonnes of research into various related topics. I don't have much interest in the gym junkies, but am more interested in the special sectors of society as I think that's where you can see the most benefit.

Ideas and how people look at things change literally from week to week. But people need to be looked at individually. I look at the human body as more of an engine these days, you give it what it needs to function and be capable of doing the things it needs to do, no more, no less.

ETA - you two can stop talking about me, I'm right here you can direct question directly to me.

No Tony, I don't live in Dubai. I live and work in England but am lucky enough to have a holiday home in Dubai. I love it! Do you live in Dubai and do you enjoy it?

See, I told you Tony, Chocs knows all about health and fitness!

I hate the gym too, Chocs. It's well boring! I have a cross trainer in my spare bedroom, I hang my handbags on it.

ETA? Estimated Time of Arrival?

Chill Chocs! We weren't talking about you
At least I addressd you by your name, unlike you, when you were refering to NaughtyAlice as 'she'. Very rude Chocs!

Edited To Add -

Chocoholic , Why did you edit your post accusing me of a personal attack on you? What attack??? And I haven't learnt my lesson yet?

I genuinely didn't know what ETA meant.

Virtually after everything I post, you jump in with some snide crappy rmark - it's boring. Go harrass someone else, you really are truly tiresome. If you don't have something nice to say or contribute, then just don't address me AT ALL! I shall be ignoring you from this moment forth.

Sharjah isn't as nice as Dubai Tony. I always think it's a bit shabby really.

Yes, I've seen Chocs crown. That was in the olden days when DF was good, apparantly. Morning Chocs!

Diet drink is quite bad, just always remember that eating or drinking artificial food, can give us some bad effects in our health.

My favorite Indian Restaurant

Bethsmum , you've never smoked, have you

Overall sharjah isn't as nice as dubai, obviously. But I stay on the corniche which is jus like your JBR if not better..... Actually...it's better


erika08 , are you chinese? I mean I noe ur location says Singapore and you could probably be Indian cuz I don't think there is any such thing as singaporian ppl but for some odd reason I get this feeling that you are chineese ! What is it erika, cure my curiosity, it kills u noe

Just drink fresh juice and water and you have nothing to worry about.

tony89 wrote:Bethsmum , you've never smoked, have you

Never, ever. Both my parents smoked at one time and that was enough for me. My mother actually died as a result of smoking. She had terrible arthritis and her hands became all twisted. She could barely hold a cigarette but would not give them up. One night she dropped one on her clothing and couldn't pick it up. She set herself on fire and had a massive heart attack and died.
That's a true story Tony.
