dis

safeway (aka tom thumb aka randalls) here is selling canned carbonated water for crazy cheap, like 2.50 for a 12 pack. i drank nothing but soda for a long time and carbonated water is insanely helpful for keeping me away from drinks with calories. cold carbonated water with a tiny bit of fruit flavoring scratches that itch for me, you may have similar luck.

also, if you have access to coke freestyles, you can typically get dasani sparkling in plain or lime flavors which is also just carbonated with no sweeteners. all the jack in the boxes here have them and i'll often stop in and just grab a drink on my commute to or from school or work.

This. The issue is that while exercise certainly does burn calories, it's always much easier to eat less than it is to burn off what you've eaten. Even a modest meal requires a large amount of high intensity exercise to burn off.

I don't want to discredit the importance of a healthy diet plan but I firmly believe that exercise is the most important aspect of losing weight, and I say that because exercise, and living an active lifestyle, WILL effect your cravings and hunger and you WILL want to eat healthier food. It will make you look at food differently and you'll want to feed your body rather than your taste buds.

I know because that the effect it had on me.
