| Bofferbrauer2 said: I actually gained about 12 kg when I stopped with the coke. The reason is that I drank it not only because of thirst, but also because it sated my hunger to a degree. Without it, I was much more hungry and had much bigger meals (and also started eating in between meals), especially early on. A similar thing happened before when I tried to switch to diet coke, but not as extreme, only about 5 kg. I still need to drink something sugary from time to time for my appetite not to become overbearing, though now it's mostly fresh juices which I thin down a bit with sparkling water, especially apple juice. |
You are probably pre-diabetic because of that ubiquitous sugar, like a lot of people on the Western diet.
Over the last year I have cut out most of the sugar and replaced it with animal fat and protein (at least 50% of my calories) and I am never hungry anymore. I go most days with just one big fatty meal and fast for 23hours until the next day. Without all that insulin in your body, you will feel more satiated and be able to lose body fat much easier.
