[QUOTE="zand, post: 1926919, member: 85197"] Well it happened to me. I was dieting for 20 or so years, counting calories, eating low fat. It wasn't until I had horrible pains in my jaw up to my temple that I (and my dentist) realised it was the artificial sweeteners causing it. Diet drinks have more chemicals in them than the ordinary ones and are more addictive. Yes I did eat some fast food occasionally, but that was always calorie counted too. It took years for my body to recover. Short term diet drinks help you consume less calories. But long-term they help you gain weight as your gut just doesn't work the same. Diet drinks contribute to fatty liver too and fatty liver brings with it insulin resitance..ie T2. Insulin resistance makes you … fat! I am not saying that a small amount of them occasionally is harmful but I really wish I had known then what I know now. But then again, if I hadn't had diet drinks to excess I doubt that I would have become T2, and without being T2 I wouldn't have met 2 or 3 people on this forum who have now become great friends. I wouldn't like to be without those guys in my life. :) Edit: I was talking about my own obesity. I know what I ate and drank. [/QUOTE]
