DIET SODA AIN'T SO SWEET

Sweet, bubbly, delicious, guilt free...Not!

Surprisingly, diet soda can make you gain wait. Here's how it works: the fake sugar used to sweeten diet sodas is much much sweeter than real sugar. This artificial sweetness prepares our bodies for incoming calories and energy like that we get from real sugary food. Once our bodies realize that we are not really getting any calories or energy, we get hungry which leads to cravings and a desire to eat more. Soo, in fact, drinking diet sodas may actually lead us to ingest more calories that we would drinking real soda.

You heard it, diet sodas lead to increased appetite and therefore cause us to gain weight.

If you do need that sweet fix, I suggest San Pellegrino's Aranciata. This fizzy, crisp orange soda is delicious! Not too sweet, extra fizzy, it makes you feel oh so sophisticated and Euro chic. You can even add a shot of Grey Goose for a lazy afternoon buzz.
