Why do fat/overweight women drink diet coke with most of their meals?
Muhammad Jaleekaleepalee ya see? asked:
A diet coke wouldn’t matter when you’re eating a buffet sized meal and a few dozen donuts for dinner.

It is their rationalization…they are not ingesting calories with the drink…so they can eat more! Stupid and not entirely helpful…but still.

I worked at an all you can eat steak buffet. It boggled me too. i guess it doesn’t work.
I’ve had people tell me it damages the metabolism too even though it has fewer calories the sugars are harsh to digest.

I’ve noticed this too! It used to confuse me to no end but recently I’ve found out that 1. Diet coke or Dr. Pepper tastes better to them (NutraSweet is more sugery flavored). and 2. If they are already obese they may be diabetic and cannot drink sodas high in real sugar.

I personally don’t touch diet soda because it tastes like crap. If I am eating a burger or pizza then I need a REAL SODA with it. The only time I even touch soda at all is when I am having fast food. I don’t drink it at home. When at home I drink water, coffee, milk, and green tea.
But I think the reason some people drink diet soda is because they don’t want to drink their calories. They would rather enjoy eating their calories instead of drinking them.
Cheers
P.S. I’ve seen SKINNY people drink diet soda too! lol

i dunno.. but anyone who has done weightwatchers will know that there is more calories in low fat drinks..or something to that effect… .. but whats really funny.. is those who order a diet coke with their Double whopper and fries!!!!
Oh and before I get a barrage of abuse cos I’m not up on my facts.. i did say something to that effect.. that info is from a friend some years ago who was in weight watchers.. its worse to drink diet drinks.. so she was told

True. its like people who eat two half a calorie ice cream. it equals one full calorie icecreamj. other times people like the taste of diet coke better than the taste of regular coke. Not everyone that drinks diet coke is on a diet and maybe even if they are on a diet (they slip) and just have cravings for some type of food.

Because of the word “diet” ! Diet coke is supposedly to have less sugar, less calories what-so-ever. But I’ve heard diet coke is far more cancerous than normal coke, because of some additional “ingredients” into the drink to make it less fattening. A very cool way to die, I’ll say.

They’re probably desperate.
But anyway, it’s simply because they believe that
diet coke (just as I said, “diet”, menaing it’s for dieting) will
actually help them reduce weight and carve-up the
extra pounds.
It might seem like a desperate attempt but anyway,
it may seem nonsense to you but women are actually quite particular of their daily intake of food.

They think….”hmm…. I’d really like to have that buffet, but I just finished a dozen creme filled Dunkin Doughnuts… Hey, It will be ok if I go light on my soda…

The only people that I know who drink it are skinny…Personally, I prefer the taste of diet coke, so that may be one reason.
But then, if you think, a normal coke has calories of around 200 (depending on how much you drink), say the meal is about 800, not having those extra 200 will help a bit.
They may drink it because they’re trying to diet, even if they’re not totally committed.
