That is a metabolism issue, not caloric. That is the point, calories and fat alone are not the problem.

It is the way we process our foods and our muscle mass, and whole host of things that contribute to the process. If it were simply a calorie/fat content issue, my daughter would weigh 300 lbs., and I would weigh 125 lbs. Sadly, on my part at least, that is not the case.

It is much better to cut out carbonated drinks altogether, there are so many health issues with drinking any soda, diet or otherwise. I broke a serious addiction to them about 5 years ago, and after the initial adjusting period, I don't miss them at all.

There is too much evidence that it is much less healthy for you than regular sugar.

Yeah I know good and well that diet sodas are as harmful if not more harmful. I am getting them to drink that so, 1 they get out from under the caffeine and then 2 to weane them off of it altogether.
