Don't worry you'll be able to earn the money back eventually.

>go to store
>always see fat fucks waddling around, pushing shopping carts with several 12 packs of coke/pepsi/mtn dew inside
It's literally a given. I'd be willing to bet most fat people are fat because of soda.

Do people not realize how bad that shit is for you or do they not care? I'm by no means a health nut, I will drink a soda occasionally, but to drink a soda whenever you get thirsty is just insane to me. I live in the deep south and so many people just don't drink water, they just drink coke.

Kek

>>15775620
Did you also stop eating altogether? Losing 20 pounds in one week is extremely unhealthy and a sign of medical sickness. Yeah soda is bad and cutting it out will make you lose weight but you're looking at a 1 or 2 pounds a week at best.

>>15775642
it's a pretty tough habit to break for a lot of people. sugar and caffeine can be harder to quit than most drugs. coca cola is as prominent in american food culture as hamburgers and french fries themselves. the dental problems that shit causes can be insane.

>>15775620

>>15775620
good for you. no sarcasm.

>>15775620
How fucking obese are you?

>stopped drinking soda cold turkey for a day
>lost 200 pounds

Stop all soda when I heard some Joe rogan podcast with some chick talking about how bad it is for you.
Limit coffee with no sugar to once per day.
Still eat snacks and cake and stuff but try to just eat a bit less.
Down to 95kg in one year.
Actually realise I can do it.
Go down to 80 in 1 more on a bit of a crash diet and go back to 93 then back to 85 and stayed like that with no effort.
Just cutting soda when your already fat does a lot.

>>15775620

Isn't that the same faggot that kept attentionwhoring on >>>/r9k/ a while back?

>>15775642
Sugar is more addictive than Cocaine. It is also probably more unhealthy than Cocaine...

Tell us the truth, did you start smoking or injecting meth?

How much weight you guys think Jack Scalfani loses when he food poisons himself? I swear he fluctuates a lot in weight between videos or should I say did before the limp faint arm incident.

>>15775652
You would have to eat nothing and run like all day every day for a week to lose 20 pounds

>>15775620
Who's this dude? He's cute. I know he's often posted around r9k.

>>15775642
>I live in the deep south and so many people just don't drink water, they just drink coke.
how do these people even manage to survive a month by living like this?

One of my coworkers drinks 2-3 sodas a day at work, probably more after work, and she's tiny and petite. It's not even diet soda too, usually regular mountain dew. No idea how that's possible

>>15775620
I drank so much soda I lost like 50 pretty much from that alone. Good job OP that shit is liquid fatboi potion

>>15775620
isn't this the dude from /cp/?

>>15776497
she probably doesn't eat. 2-3 sodas is only like 600 calories. Real soda fatties drink liters of that shit per day

t. used to drink a 2l of mtn dew and play 14 hrs of WoW a day until I stopped hating myself

I regret nothing it was a great time

>>15775642
they don't care and don't realize just how terrible it is

>>15775652
>Losing 20 pounds in one week is extremely unhealthy
Not really. The first week of a diet is usually met with significant weight loss.
However, the majourty of weight loss is not from fat, it's from metabolism of glycogen reserves. This initial weight loss is commonly refered to as losing 'water weight'.

The fact none of you know this yet feel qualified give dietary advice is frightening.

even if you fasted the entire week, that much weight loss in that amount of time is incredibly concerning

>>15776530
Glycogen is like 5 pounds of weight

>>15776657
Glycogen is paired with water at 3-4x it's weight.
Losing 5lbs of glycogen would result in an addition loss of 15 to 20lbs of water weight loss.

>>15776702
No, I mean the combination of glycogen and the water it's paired with is like 5lb of weight in total

>>15776716
Nice generalisation.
5lbs for everybody. If you believe that you're a fucking idiot.

>>15776530
A lot of that is water weight dipshit.

>>15775620
I mean generally it would most definitely lower your calorie intake to shit if you genuinely only drink soda
I treat myself to it sometime too but always get the diet kind at least too.

>>15775642
soda literally makes me thirsty it's hilarious

>>15776722
>implying we're not looking at the same Google results

>>15775634
Mindless eating, more like it, and soda contributes. Why is my MIL fat even though she only mainlines diet sodastream concoctions now?
Because she eats a party-size bag of chips in one sitting.

>>15775634
I wonder if soda sales follow something similar to pic related

>>15775642
I would drink soda or some sugary juice all the time. I hated how water tasted as a kid and would avoid it if possible. Never minded the water fountains, but pouring a glass of water never sat right with me.

>>15777059
It tastes like nothing

>>15775620
I'm trying to gain 20lbs and I don't drink soda should I start?

>>15777204
If you're looking to become a skinnyfat diabetic, sure

its a hard habit to kick as an american, it's shoved in my face constantly at every place i eat

>be american
>get on flight
>we take off and it's been 10 minutes and still no refreshments
>push button for flight attendant and explain the situation
>attendant politely tells me that they are still prepping
>this is when it starts to happen
>I start to shrivel in my seat
>literally demanding my diet coke at this point
>flight attendant says no and goes to get assistance to calm me down
>at this point it's too late
>I keep shriveling
>plane gains altitude
>passengers now are confused why the plane is shaking but there is nothing to be done at this point
>gaining more and more altitude
>exit earth's atmosphere
>scream that I need my diet coke
>they are too busy panicking to do anything and dont realize I'm trying to save them
>cabin explodes and we all die in the vacuum of space
>I alone remain, shrunken and wrinkled to the size of a raison
When an American like me asks for a diet coke you go get them the fuckin diet coke.

>>15776530
>retard tries to give advice on something he knows little about.

More news at 10. You will not lose 20 pounds from 'water weight' in a week. You will (maybe) lose it from starving yourself and doing 6 hours of cardio everyday for a week. Stop posting on topics you're not well versed in you dumb faggot.

>>15776841
>the top ten percent
>literally the smallest percentage mentioned
or are they referring to the rich people?

>>15775620
>>stopped drinking soda cold turkey for a week
>>lost 20 pounds

70000 calorie deficit in a week

sure thing

>>15777996
Nice theory, except OP didn't mention doing 6 hours of cardio everyday or any kind of fasting.
At least the other guys explanation plausible.
>>15778183
Did you even go to school?

>>15776032
5 years ago, yes.

>>15775620
I know a guy who fucking turned his whole life around after stopping pepsi cold turkey.
Stopped gaming WoW late at night
Got a job
Went back to school
Lost 60lbs
Keep going anon!

I bought some glass bottle sodas today.

Mexican Coca Cola
Moxie
Dang! Italian Cherry Soda

I've never had these before. The only Coke I've had is with high-fructose corn syrup.

>>15775634
I very easily could be misremembering but in the documentary "King Corn" (free on youtube btw) I think they said Americans drink about 1/3 of their calories, most of it from soda

>>15776497
One of the problems with giving fruit juice to kids is the sugar content in it is satiating and it makes them less hungry for meals so they won't eat what you put in front of them at dinnertime. Much in the same way, adults should THEORETICALLY not be as hungry or willing to eat as much after drinking a liquid full of calories. Your coworker is probably one of those people who eats until she is no longer hungry, not until she is full/stuffed like your average hamplanet

>>15777204
Beer would be better. It has calories and alcohol lowers your blood sugar, making you hungrier

>>15775673
are you retarded? that fuckface is a r9k-meme from 4-5 years ago

>>15779790
There's some study on HFCS being a dull sweet, dulls the taste buds and senses in a way, so people can consume huge meals till be satiated, not so with cane/beet sugar though. I'd look up the study, but today I feel like being that guy.

>>15775620
>>>/soc/
and fucking stay there you creepy weirdo

i stopped drinking soda years ago, what the fuck ami doing wrong

oh right the booze

>>15776497
she probably exercises and eats regular apart from the sodas

>>15775620
well if I stopped drinking beer I probably could there was a time back when while fit I cut lent way early cause I thought it would take way longer.. to lose 15 or so noticeable lbs.. a beer store manager couldn't not help but notice... was very happy with that. nowadays.. I would have to lose 50lbs to be in the home stretch of losing another 20lbs...

>>15778319
This is the smartest person ITT

sneed

>>15778319
im pretty sure thats the kind of numbers 600-lb-life niggas were putting down per day

>>15778319
If your 200kg you can have get rid of huge amounts of water weight.

>>15775620
Oh shit, I remember that guy. He's from 2015ish /r9k/, he was called Stanley right?

I have a guy at work who never drinks water because "he doesn't like the taste" and goes through like 3 500ml Red Bulls and a liter of diet coke a day

>>15775662
>sugar and caffeine can be harder to quit than most drugs.
Not even true, bullshit studies trying to make headlines.
>>15776033
Bullshit, see above. Although, I might agree that drinking a 12 pack of coke per day is worse than snorting a bit of blow every day. I would say that's true.
>>15776490
I'm not sure dude, the people here are just genetically tough as fuck. I'm a transplant, these people are just built different. They take heavy abuse.
>>15776515
Yeah, that sums it up probably.
>>15776783
My friend talks about this, he was raised on drinking out of a 2 liter of coke from the fridge and he always says the shit just makes him more thirsty than if he'd not drunk anything.
>>15777059
You probably needed stricter parents. Not really your fault though.
>>15777849
Oh please. How often do you eat out? I only really have sympathy for children when it comes to propaganda.

>>15781427
Sure, if it isn't the Corn lobby propaganda.

>>15781521
I don't follow. Which one are you responding to?

>>15780286
I heard somewhere that alcohol cancels out any weightless progress you make. Like you could've went out on a run and ate a salad that day, but because you chose to drink beer that effort was cancelled out

>>15776841
Me on the right

>>15781427
I had a harder time quitting soda than quitting alcohol, smoking or weed. Anecdotal, and those are soft drugs, but I think there's truth to it.

If you don't substitute the sugar and caffeine with anything the effect on your metabolism is going to be immense, and for me the cravings lasted for MONTHS.

>>15781972
When I stopped drinking soda, I started drinking coffee and tea

>>15775620
arent you the creepy dude from the elisa lamb netflix documentary?

>>15781972
weird, I had no problem dropping regular soda but I cant shake having one cig a day. I dont even need it I just keep craving for the mental desire for one, its not like Im having nic withdrawals or anything at this point if I only have one a day. I still drink diet soda but in much less quantities than I drank regular soda and I don't feel any adverse effects from it.

Talking of addiction, I've only ever craved cocaine after a few pints at the pub, but never ever sober.
Not really a soft drink user so cannot comment on that.
