I began my fitness journey today. It's going to be a long road but I have a question about coke zero. Is there a catch...

what about herbal tea?

kill yourself bitch

I would say ditch it, low calorie or not. You're holding onto the childish part of you that craves sweet tastes.

Ditch sugar and sweeteners completely, it will be touch for two weeks then you should lose the taste for it.

Get used to drinking water, it's what you're supposed to drink. I never had a sweet tooth but I keep a load of bottle sparkling water in fridge for when I want something different - squeeze some lime into it with some ice.

The substitute that they use instead of sugar has the exact same if not worse impact upon your body than honest sugar does. Insulin spike, increased appetite, fucks up gut bacteria, increased heart rate followed by tiredness and mental cloud, ect. Honestly I took a long time away from soda and just drank coffee, milk, and shakes and the next time I had one I could feel it in my veins. Shit is awful.

I am killing myself. I'm killing the old me and birthing the new me. I'm on a journey.

>herbal tea
That's fine.

If you absolutely want to drink soda it does have 0 calories, but like other people said it’s not healthy and will probably fuck up your appetite, hormones or whatever. Idk if people saying it “tricks” your body into releasing insulin or something is true but yeah
The way it works is aspartame and artificial sweeteners are way sweeter than regular sugar so the same for the same amount of sweetness of regular sugar you need way less artificial sugars, which end up being basically 0 calories

Post current body? Sports bra and panties

Long term use is bad, but it's not as bad as faggots ITT are saying.

Use it to supress your hunger and then replace it with black coffee/green tea

Glycemic Index: The thread

I posted my body before and got a lot of mean comments. My therapist said I shouldn't seek validation from toxic internet sites.

I might post my body when I reach my goal weight.

bizarre finding actual fitness advice on fit

This, after 2 weeks or so of no sweets/artificial crap you'll lose most of your cravings.

By continuing to have it you maintain your addiction to sugar.

Hmmm I guess that makes sense. I just bought a 2L bottle so once that's gone I won't buy any more.

>toned
Oh nonono

It's ok for now. It has zero calories and when you're starting, you have enough shit to worry about. But you should eventually quit carbonated drinks and try to stop your sweetness addiction.
But fr now you're fine, it won't affect your goals in the short run.
There is some data to correlation between even zero calorie drinks and insulin spikes, but not enough to be worried.
You're drinking pure cancer though.

It’ll only help to motivate you.
>t. ex-fatty
As for Coke Zero specifically, you’re ok, other than teeth issues.

what;s wrong with wanting to get toned

Good luck user, I've started my own journey not long ago.
Not being able to indulge ourselves in pasta kinda sucks though...

Pour it down the sink if you're serious, the whole concept of Coca Cola is toxic.

Just think how mental it is that Pepsi and Coca Cola swindled generations of lardy diseased humans into thinking that their product is what you are supposed to drink in place of water. Utter madness.

It makes me so sad when I see little kids drinking it.

Drink water, don't do the whole "well sweet tea/coke zero/juice are slightly better for me than soda" middle step. Belive me, used to drink at least 1.5-2l of soda every day for like 7 years, fucked up my teeth and stomach, took a ton of money to fix. Eventually got chubby as well and had to make choises, cut down on all sweets, sodas especially. After you stop drinking it for some time and try again it tastes FUCKING AWFUL, like somebody shoved a handful of sugar in your mouth, your teeth will actually hurt and you won't crave it anymore. If you like bubbles just drink mineral or carbonated water

I control my weight solely by changing what I drink. If I want to lose weight I stop drinking juices. Quitting shit like soda and juice should be a relatively painfree first step. Get one of those filtered pitchers and keep that shit full and cold in the fridge, absolutely based taste. If you're desperate for caffeine you can split the pills into thirds.

The "catch" is that it's all bullshit, it still has calories in it, they can just get away with saying doesn't. Drink water/tea only. Also READ THE FUCKING STICKY

Only drink non-sugar soft drinks if you can handle it. In some cases it will increase your sugar apatite.

I drink coke zero every weekend and losing weight with no problems, it doesn't increase my sugar apatite, however that doesn't mean that it doesn't do it for you.

that can't be true

Listen mate, there's calories in this. "sugar substitute" doesn't mean shit. Why do you think landwhales chug this down and still end up fat?

Look at the ingredients of Coke Zero:
>Water, Colour (Caramel E150d), Phosphoric Acid, Sweeteners (Aspartame, Acesulfame K), Natural Flavourings Including Caffeine, Acidity Regulator (Sodium Citrate). Contains a Source of Phenylalanine
First, you don't want artifical sweeteners. Really, you don't. Second, natural flavourings. You don't want those, too.
But what you really don't want to drink is the phosphoric acid. You can clean toilets with this (really). It also messes with your body, in that your body can't use calcium correctly. Phosphoric acid and calcium generate a salt that's useless to you. So you don't get calcium and a useless salt on top of that. Do you really want to drink that?

>tl,dr
Coke fucks up your bones.

Also, put a piece of meat in a glass of coke. Watch what happens.

>But what you really don't want to drink is the phosphoric acid. You can clean toilets with this (really)
Just wanted to write that as well. People clean fucking water pipes and pots with leftover soda in my country, it works really well too, do you think you want that shit in your body? Sugar version is actually a "healthier" choise out of the two

>clean pipes with soda
Are you a Europoor or something? Spic?

Ok I'm convinced. No more Coke zero.

I have another question. How do people deal with hunger?

Nice.

I'm pulling the trigger on my new life

First step. Make sure you are drinking water. You could be mistaken hunger for dehydration. Always have water with you.

Nice bait
Women don’t like pasta

Italians

Stop drinking soda. It will do wonders for your stamina and well being.

Eat in small dozes throughout the day. If you're hungry, then drink a full glass of water, if you're still feeling hungry half an hour later you can eat something. Some people just deal, there are times when you really want to eat to the point of your stomach hurting, then you get distracted by work or whatever and it goes away completely for a few hours

Try setting time intervalls for eating. For example, start with 2 hour pauses between everything you eat, doesn't matter if it's a big meal or just a snack. Stick with it, even if it's hard. imo the first step is to get a bit hunger discipline.
Also, like the other user said, drink water.
You can also try to work out when you get hunger, even if it's only a few sets of one chosen exercise.

No based retard, the nutrition info is not done by the companies, its done by the FDA or a similar org in your country.

Non-sugar drinks usually have no calories.

Theres calorie free noodles bssically. Just make konyakku noodles user

haha why monster zero after 40?

I get distracted or set a time in 2 hours to eat something or say 'until I drink 1L of water, I cant eat '

Sounds good. Are they tasty?

Most of the time you think you’re hungry you’re just bored and used to eating food to fill the gap in time. You’re eating for the taste instead of the meal. To get past this just drink some water and start a new activity. Get your mind off it. Also realize that you won’t die either, I’ve heard a lot of people get into a panic about not eating, you could realistically go close to a month without eating before you die, an hour or 2 really won’t do anything.

It causes a massive insulin spike and kills good gut bacteria and actually primes you for type 2 diabetes.
But you can go ahead and drink it if you want.

Just deal with it cause it’ll go away after you condition yourself to eating less. I used to be hungry all the time eating big ass meals snacking going out and shit but now I’m not as hungry and cutting is easier.
>eat vegetables, low calories and it will satisfy hunger
>drink water

This better be bait.

nearly calorie free japanese noodles exist. called shirataki

herbal tea is the shit

what;s wrong with wanting to get toned

"getting toned" is a flimsy goal because there's no way to objectively tell if you've achieved it. it'd be better to pick a specific weight, BMI, or BF% towards which to work.

This. I began only drinking water, and my appetite has slowed down so much that I’m consistently eating 300-600 calories below my cut deficit.

I guess I'd like an 18.5 BMI. I wanna be keira knightley mode

I recommend throwing in a strength goal of some sort like a 315 deadlift or a 135 bench

>"getting toned" is a flimsy goal because there's no way to objectively tell if you've achieved it.

Yeah there is.
When they are happy with what they look like in the mirror.
And objective measures of very different people almost always fucking fail miserably because we are all different and we have to alter things to best optimize stuff for ourselves base on experience or with help from people who actually know what they are talking about.

Tone is a thing.
It often means that they want to lose excess weigh and have some visible MUSCLE TONE.
That's the normie defiintion of fitness..

But sometimes SOMETIMES they have a different idea of what they mean by tone so you have to ask them what they mean by tone.

Derisive attitudes like yours often shows complete ignorance and arrogance that is displayed by people who want to seem more knowledgable then they actually are.

Listen up here baby, you gonna get a lot of hate here but its ok. Beginnings are the hardest. Just take it slow. Start with Intermittent fasting go on from there. Youre stronger than you think.

a 315 deadlift seems like an awful lot

Listen, little baby. You're gonna get a lot of hurtful and degrading comments. But that ain't what I'm about. Let me just say, you are perfect the way you are. You hear me sugar? PERFECT. Don't ever change. You deserve everything and anything you want. Stay safe for me, baby girl.

I don't need a white knight, user

>Why can't there be calorie free pasta?
There is. It's called konjac noodles. It has the consistency of a tire and smells like some cunt has put a fish between her legs and let it go sour but it has 8 calories per 100gr. Also coke zero is OK if you're taking it with a meal. If you just want to drink stay with water and unsweeted tea.

That doesn't sound very appetizing

It is what basic bitches on Instagram are doing and you dont want to become them, do you?

Cut out the soda, fatty. Seriously it’s not hard to only drink water. Your body will go through a detox stage due to lack of soda but after that, water will be all you need.

I’m not saying you need to cut out soda forever because I drink one every few weeks.

What's wrong with being a basic bitch? All I want is to be thin and toned like Keira knightley

Drink water eat fiber

They smell like fish when uncooked but the taste is bland. Taste like nothing really.

There's a lot of conflicting information surrounding artificial sweeteners. Some articles say they're excitotoxins that poison the brain and slowly make you retarded. Others say they're perfectly fine in moderation. But usually 95% of the time anything thats manufactured and not organic typically ends up being poison so I'd stay away from it.

What state? The state of being empowered and independent and not needing to be saved?
