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. |
If you spend weeks on a diet you could notice that appetite decreases when you stop consuming it.
Sugar is just fast satisfaction that makes you long for more at short notice,it's really a sort of addiction that takes time to beat.
