Do diet sodas really slow down your diet though?

I've been drinking diet A&W Root Beer for awhile.

The only non soda options ive really looked at and can tolerate are

Lipton's diet green tea with citrus

Vitamin Water Zero

Sobe Life(the zero calorie ones not regular)

Powerade Zero.

Im going to the Food and Wine festival at Epcot on Sunday and Monday. Look out excess calories!

Oh well, I'll just fast the day I get back.

I springle on a little reduced fat bacon bits as well.

The whole salad is probably less than 300 calories i am guessing.

oohhhh i thought you meant chicken salad, like the tuna salad type stuff. You mean like a deli sliced chicken or baked chicken salad type thing, ok.

I eat a baked chicken salad the day before i fast, at dinner. It was about 210 calories with 4oz of chicken, and 2 tblspns of lite ranch dressing, and 2 full cups of salad. I was also using the Oscar Meyer deli sliced turkey, like 6 slices is 45 calories, before i got a food scale and started buying chicken by the 5lb bag.

Food scale is a great purchase.

Hold the presses! A European study shows greater muscle increase for fasted training than for fed training. I'll post the link if I can find it, but it's in the new Men's Fitness Magazine.

My new trainee, Barbara, has lost 14 pounds in 14 days. She established an aggressive calorie deficit by: (A) eliminating snacking and (2) reducing portion size during meals. Also, she purchased a pedometer and has become a walking fiend.
