Found out I lost 3 lbs (1.36 kilos) over the last month after my visit to the doctor yesterday. Guess I made the right dietary decision by cutting out soda and going primarily vegetarian. (Will likely go back on a pescatarian diet from here on out though, since I currently have high triglyceride levels and omega-3s are supposed to help with reduction.)

how much soda did u consume per day? and which? cokes and sprites and stuff like that?

From November 2023 til last month it was like 3 cans of Poppi soda per day. Sprite was still rare, and it was mainly only Coke Zero I drank on occasion. 

Now if I'm craving a carbonated beverage I'll just grab San Pellegrino mineral water in glass bottles.

To keep it real and analog, I'm gonna start posting to WATMM by writing my posts in fountain pen on hemp paper, putting them in bottles, and throwing them into the ocean.

lol at people that drink Coke Zero and Diet Coke, shit’s still bad for you.  
Myself as well, drinking sparkling water has been a game changer. I drink like one or two of those a day.

I honestly didn't expect it to... tried everything, HDR on and off on TV, on and off on laptop, all the combs I could... even tried reading the movie from an hdd plugged directly into the tv's usb port and still, deze stoopid HDR rips look pale af :catcry: luckily there's still old skool pirates out there ripping it in SDR style...

I love coke, been trying not to drink more than 1 can per day, half at lunch and half at dinner... sparkling water won't really cut it for me, can't really find a better combo for food than coke... anyway I try to drink as much water/juice/tea as I can to even it out... everyone says I should cut it but I don't really think 1 can a day is what's keeping me from losing a few kgs I aimed for... 

edit: diet and coke zero smart af marketing lol

I've been told by people that artificial sweeteners are bad but no one really says why. Show me the data, dammit.

So I did a little bit of digging, and a long story short it seems the data is kind of inconclusive and there's mostly just correlation I guess. And gut bacteria might not like the artificial sweeteners. Nutritional science in humans is very hard to test because you can't just take a babies and feed them what you want to study for their lifetime and then do autopsies, so a lot of times you just have best guesses and correlation, but no proven causality. For example artificial sweeteners are correlated with obesity but maybe it's because already obese people use them trying to lose weight?

But if you want some recommendations from some official research body then there's the WHO recommendation against consumption of artificial sweeteners for weight control: https://www.who.int/news/item/15-05-2023-who-advises-not-to-use-non-sugar-sweeteners-for-weight-control-in-newly-released-guideline

Also any carbonated drink is bad for your teeth, including sparkling water.
