Anecdotal evidence here. Throughout my life I have been on diets various time, never because of extreme obesity but like a lot of people in IT, I do not get enough movement and over time gain weight. Thus every 2 years or so I end up going on a diet to lose the weight that I have gained, and in the past I used to mainly drink (sparkling) water when I did this, and always had positive results.
Now I have been trying to diet again but instead of replacing my sugary drinks with the "zero" version of them (coke zero to be specific) I _seem_ to lose weight slower.
Could be a lot more factors in play, but my wife has been suggestion that even those zero drinks have a negative effect on the diet, so she will enjoy this article :-)
- rhizome 10y agoLook into whether you might have anterior pelvic tilt (APT), what I call "sitting disease," which causes your hips to tilt forward, making you look like you have a big ol' gut. This is caused by the sitting position (simplified) stretching out your backside and not stretching your frontside. When you have a more neutral posture, your silhouette is much less "heavy" looking. That is, it may not be that you have weight to lose so much as you at a normal weight looks worse than it is. At any rate, dieting will involve more than switching to coke zero. :)
- Insanity 10y agoOh I was unaware of that, but the way I set when working is far from ergonomically good I fear. My diet was never just switching my drinks luckily! :-)
- neves 10y agoAs you get older, it is always more difficult to loose weight. Your last diet will (probably) be the most difficult.
