Diet soft drinks makes you put on weight - so what is that all about then?

To try to control your weight, you've moved onto diet soft or fizzy drinks. But scientific studies are showing that for each can of diet drink, your risk of being overweight goes up by a belt-busting 41%.

Well, diet drinks don't themselves make you put on weight. So what could be going on?

It could be that your body is complaining at being tricked. In comes all this lovely sweetness and your body is expecting calories. They don't come, so your body sends you the munchies by way of complaint. There is some evidence that soft drinks stimulate appetite.

It could be that part of you thinks that no-cal drinks constitute a diet, giving you permission to eat a bit more than you otherwise might.

So, if you are drinking diet pops, have a think about whether you are making up for it by eating more of something else.

If you are in or near Glasgow and want to lose weight, try to make a few small changes every week. To help you, try hypnotherapy with me.
