Pop is a big problem for a lot of people. My siblings will complain about losing weight while downing 4 cans of pepsi during a single visit. If they did what you do, they'd be good. That's most of their excess fat gone from 1 single change in their diet.
I abused pop like a drug when I was younger. At least 2-3 cans a day.
Sometimes I’d wake up in the middle of the night and go take a swig of pop from the fridge because I craved it so bad...
I was a major addict. Still am... I’m a recovering popoholic.
I can literally relapse at any time if I’m not careful - no joke.
It’s an every day struggle.
1 pop a week? I'm happy to have cut back to 1 Coke Zero a day.
It's no sugar or calories, so its not bad for weight, but I'm sure it's giving me cancer or something
My biggest problem is snacking though. Mainly when I watch TV or movies. I can sit and play video games or hang out with people and not even think about food, but put a movie on and I am craving whatever the f*** I can get my hands on
I only buy snacks in the individual size bags now like you'd pack a kid for lunch. I generally have the willpower to buy the right things, but put a family size bag of chips in front of me and that shit is getting eaten.
I hear you with late night snacking. I curb that by eating oranges or apples... it’s a mental thing really. It’s tough though because I want carbs or sugar.
Getting to where I am now with pop from when I was younger was a huge battle, believe me.
It’s scary how much I ate when I was younger... I would eat a large pizza by myself at least twice a week... and since I was a bachelor I always had friends over and we would order shit a few more times a week.
We used to order wings. subs, hamburger hoagies (16 in sub with 5 patties).
I would eat two subs or an entire hamburger hoagie by myself... then grab a slice of pizza from the pie we got or eat a few wings.
Yet I was 215 of solid muscle.
If I wasn’t on like 3 hockey teams and working out like a fiend, I would have needed a motorized scooter to get around I think...
If I did that now I’d have a heart attack in a few weeks probably or be on an episode of “My 600 lb Life”
