Many people have sugar cravings and believe that if they switch to artificial sweeteners, such as those used in diet drinks, it will satisfy the craving and help them keep their weight down.
IT WILL NOT!
What actually happens is the sweeteners in diet drinks fool your body into thinking it is taking on sugar for energy.
When this does not happen, you begin to crave sugary sweet food even more because your body is expecting and wanting it.
Eventually, the more diet drink you have, the more your body demands that sugar is eaten - and it is only a question of time before you reach for the biscuits!
Also, apart from water, the only other ingredients in fizzy diet drinks are chemicals - designed to add specific taste and fizz - DO YOU LIKE DRINKING CHEMICALS?
The answer - DRINK WATER. Plain is best as carbonated waters tend to be much higher in sodium. Put lemon or lime slices and ice cubes in plain water if you want added flavour.
Happy drinking!
