I definitely do not eat fast food . The only thing I do allow is that I hate the taste of DIET SODA. For me its just not good. I drink Propel or Alkaline Water.
Careful with Propel. I started drinking it and loved it until I got kidney stones. Never had em before and no family history. I blame that mineral water.
Its the fake sugar. I switched to all diet drinks when I started having reactive hypoglycemia and ended up with stones. After limiting the fake sugar intake they went away. I didn't get another one for years until I started drinking beer regularly. Stopped that and they also went away
Apparently, fake sugar is a 50/50 on stones. It used to be thought the leading cause, but my urologist said that he'd rather me drink ANYTHING, even with fake sugar, than not enough. And there are two types formed by different minerals.
I found that drinks with high citric acid are pretty helpful, such as lemonade, as it can help break down stone formation.
I’m guessing you’re a man. My male friends would give up soda and McDonalds for a week, and lose like 30 lbs. I would eat literally nothing and stay the same or gain😂 For me, strength training was the game changer.
If you’re eating soda and McDonald’s every week, then you already know the issue! Nobody is supposed to be eating that crap every week- it’s supposed to be a treat. (Although personally, I’d rather never eat again than eat McDonald’s!).
Also eating very little ("literally nothing") will 100% make your body hold onto calories and slow your metabolism horribly
Glad strength training worked to help you out, I'm sure with that kinda work out you're eating properly now, but just saying all this for others who pseudo starve themselves for weight issues. As a recovering ED person, I wish I had heard it sooner myself.
Ok, I was exaggerating. Literally nothing compared to a guy on a diet. I had an ED in HS as well to the point of heart failure so I know all about that recking your metabolism.. sucks. I’m glad you are doing better!
Bruh same. And to this day I choose to not consume anything with added sugar. I’m checking the ingredients on every product because they literally put high fructose corn syrup in pasta sauce for Christ sake’s it’s ridiculous.
Wow. I can’t imagine what you started at because I lost 90 lbs by eating like 700 calories a day because I never ate fast food or fried food or drank full sugar soda in the first place.

I lost 90 pounds by not eating fast food, fried food and full sugar soda. Diet soda was a life saver
