Coke Zero Vs Diet Coke

[therisingblues]

as a diabetic, sugar is thy enemy..

I am not a diabetic, but I am a big fat bastard. Over the years I have tried different diets and stuff, and I did Atkins about 4 years ago. I read the book and got into the theory of it and everything.
It is highly recommended for diabetics, it claims to lower the body's resistance to insulin, because your body makes very little of the stuff with the Atkins diet as there are very few carbs. It also drastically lowers your trygliceride levels.
Like I said I am not a diabetic but as a habitual fat bastard I can attest to the diet achieving everything it claimed to in the way of evaporating fat off me. I lost 12 kilograms in about 3 or 4 months, the whole time eating high fat foods (almost no trans-fats though) and lots of meat and veggies.
I eventually gave it up because....... this may sound strange, but I gave it up because I lost the ability to be happy in the last month or so. Life suddenly became boring, even though my body was feeling great. I have since come across a couple of sources that claim that carbohydrates are linked to brain function and have a profound affect on emotion, I think I am in a minority that experienced this side affect, but it was the sole thing that made me give it up.
Have you tried it? It claims to work wonders for diabetics and I am curious about how true those claims are.

apparantly diabetes causes hell mood swings and shifts in emotions n stuff... i find that ive noticed a few changes but dunno if its just in my head or not.

Judging by some of your posts, it's not in your head mate, they're real.

Cant get used to the taste of Coke Zero, what I find with Diet Coke is that its an acquired taste, have a few weeks away from it then pick it up again and it doesnt taste very pleasant!

Why does Coke never put Diet Sprite in any of their machines? Could it be that without the Caffeine in it that it is not addictive and does not sell as much as a result?

[Johno6]

do they make sprite zero in cans?

i only see it in 600ml bottles..

i want a 30 pack of them to change it up a bit

The Solo zero isn't a bad drop, I must say that diet cordials are far better nowadays than what they used to be, Apple & Raspberry is nice.

some of us dont have a choice fellas......

i want dr pepper

I still get Dr Pepper its the best..... you can get it from the old lollie shop in James Place, Rundle Mall

[Psyber]

Do both Zero and Diet have artificial sweeteners in them?

[Dog_ger]

I believe so Psyber.

I prefer Diet Coke in cans.

Only because it has the word "DIET" in the name.

Probably perfect advertising.

[Sojourner]

Coke and Pepsi are supposed to be racing each other to get their versions of Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi Sweetened with Stevia as opposed to Nutra Sweet out onto the market!

Yes, claims to. It's all bullsh it.

You were probably feeling mentally like shit because your brain needs carbohydrates to function.

If one of them brought out a no sugar, no artificial sweetener, one I'd try it.
They won't though - the mass market is for sickly sweet...

[Johno6]

they wont try and market something they think will taste like crap... they need the flavour.

i dont care how much better something is for me than another if it tastes like crap.


i didnt realise how much better sugar made things taste till i got diabetes tho

[blink]

I agree - I prefer Pepsi Max to Coke Zero and Diet Coke.

[hearts on fire]

I agree - I prefer Pepsi Max to Coke Zero and Diet Coke.

Yep, me too. I prefer Diet Coke to Coke Zero though..... not sure why.......

[MightyEagles]

Pepsi Max > Coke Zero & Diet Coke.

I agree with that, to me Pepsi Max tastes simular to Pepsi, while Diet and Zero tastes different to Coke if you get what I'm trying to say.

Are you familiar with Stevia?

They spent a fair bit of coin spruiking the Original Mother, obviously with little market research...

I still haven't met someone that says they like the taste.

I have a can in my fridge at home Johno- so they exist.

How it got there is another story- I never bought it...
