stupid marketing ploys. Sick thing is, some people will actually buy it instead of the Diet Coke.

Diet Coke, and most diet drinks are sweetened with Aspartame/Nutrasweet. Many diets suggest avoiding this stuff....hence the move towards products sweetened with Sucralose/Splenda, which, in a few years we'll probably discover causes cancer in lab rats.

Man I get so sick of this "carb" talk. It drives me freakin' nuts to hear about how this is "low carb" and that is "no carb." Jiminy, I bet 90% of the people who count "carbs" don't even know what a carbohydrate is. They might be able to name a whole bunch of foods that contain carbohydrates, but they likely have no clue as to what makes carbohydrates different from protein or fat.

And don't get me started on the word "cardio" either...

Low carbohydrate diets work just like any other diet - you cut calories. Foods that are heavy in carbohydrates are very calorie-dense, hence if you eat less of them you consume fewer calories and you lose weight. Yes, meat and cheese and butter all have a lot of calories themselves but you can only eat so much before you get sick of them.

20$ says the new "low carb" coke is just diet coke and regular coke mixed.

What ever happened to low fat? All these people cramming fat into their diets are going to end up loosing all this weight but still dieing of a heart attack from all the damn colesterol. But, then again, do I really care if someone has a heart attack if they are dumb enough to follow it? The answer is no. :-D Eh, I don't think people will ever learn that to loose weight you need a lifestyle change and not just some fad diet. If you hate working out, or eating your current diet, your not going to do it for long. It's just human nature, unless you have unbelieveable self-controll. Eh, just my 2 cents. Peace.

All this low carb stuff is ridiculous. I've even see atkins friendly water!

Are you serious?

You can pretty much find anything in new york city.
The other day, my gf and I saw "weight loss candy" at a supermarket, it's "proven to help you lose up to a pound a week, just by eating candy."
And I mentioned to her, "what the hell, this is ridiculous." When a slim lady in her 30's in front of us said, "that candy helped me lose 40 pounds." Our jaws dropped then she laughed and she was just kidding.

I lost 50 pounds eating only crisco for a month.

I'm gonna market a chainsaw and some Advil as the newest weight-loss system.
