I have been paying $1.00 at McDonalds for a large drink for a long, long time. Today, the price for a large drink was $1.49. An increase of 49%!!! That's nuts! I live in the Chicago area. Is this price increase a local thing, or is it country wide?
- alters glucose and insulin levels.
- increases risk of digestive problems.
- alters gut health and damages the GI tract.
- kills probiotics.
- may play a role in certain cancers.
- generates toxic compounds when heated.
- And a lot more.
I haven't drank any carbonate drinks since 2005.
I started drinking diet as Tojo said and have lost 3.5lb/1.6kg over the last two weeks. Would love to cut down even more but water gives me a bad case of Montezuma's Revenge if you know what I mean. Is there anything better to drink
I've probably drank about six cases of beer and 2 quarts of Amoretta Desorrona Liqueur in my whole life (stopped all that many years ago) and I have never smoked (anything) despite all the bullying in high school to "have a camel" back in the mid sixties.
All fast food hamburger joints are history to me.
I work out at the gym ~ a lot..... going on 33 years now.
I decided I wanted to lose 20 pounds last February, so... it took me a year.
It was worth it. I went from a tight 34" to a good fitting 32" in my 529 Low rise Levi's.
I eat once a day around 8 pm.
I listen to the TV while working on a model.
(You actually get so involved you don't realize you're getting hungry).
I go to bed around 3 am.
I'm up between 11 am or noon and mix a quart bottle of my "special"
*drink*
(I sip on it all day, even in a restaurant).
I go pay bills and do the normal things.....
or maybe some target practice or back home with the models.
*The drink is my own personal mix, seems to work great.
Might seem gross but here it is.
All mixed up in a one quart bottle.
Strawberry flavor,10 packs to a box.
I use one 3 gram pack in each bottle to give more flavor.
Plus 5.0 grams of strawberry flavored creatine monohydrate.
Plus 5.0 grams of strawberry flavored L-Citrulline Malate.
One ounce of vinegar.
Sorry to say JohnnyK, but fill it with bottled water and shake it up.
Might need to get used to it, but it isn't so bad when you adjust the ingredients.
And it won't happen overnight. You'd have to stick with this lifestyle for at least as long as I have.
One guy at the gym asked me what I was drinking and I told him.
He said he would rather drink cat pi%%.
So I asked him if he had ever drank any cat pi%% and he said "no".
Then I asked him, then how would you know?
No reply....,
just a weird smile and an eyeroll.
