Actually it's because the acid in soda (i forget which one, usually second or third on the ingredient list) metabolizes into lots of calories, but DOESN'T show up when they do the calorie tests in the lab. |
Where does this information come from? |
It's b******t, like the rest of his posts.

Kind of funny because I heard of such a study 2 years ago...not 2 weeks ago.

Well I couldn't find anything based on an hour, but I found this based on a couple songs!
| Quote: | One-foot songs only burn a few calories, while the more difficult songs, such as Konamix's 9 feet-rated "Paranoia Rebirth" and "Afronova Primeval," burn 20 to 30 calories.
The most difficult song on the home games, Max 300, has 300 beats per minute and is rated at 10 feet. Passing it burns about 45 calories, or the equivalent of jumping rope 379 times. The game lists the equivalent in jumping rope. |

Depending on how much you do it - a shitload. I know people who have lost alot of weight doing it daily for hours (My old roomate lost 40lbs doing it). I mean, just go there when some 14 year olds are kicking ass and you see them f*****g soaked in sweat like someone drenched them with a hose.

An hour? Depends on how good you are, what you play, and how much mass you have. 200-600.
There probably isn't a better form of Cardio out there. (Imean which is as effective, yet easily repeatable)

Hopefully this will work out better than the last hi-tech food idea, the chemical they put in potato chips and stuff so you could have full fat in the chips for flavor but your body wouldn't absorb it. So instead of digesting the fat you had fat leaking out your ass, which kind of limited the appeal.

this is what has been in the news lately
also talks about the study that came out last year too
| Quote: | Diet soda drinkers likely to gain weight, study says
BY DON FINLEY
San Antonio Express-News
Just when you thought the news about losing weight couldn't get any worse, try this: A review of 26 years of patient data found people who drink diet soft drinks were more likely to become overweight.
Not only that, but the more diet sodas they drank, the higher their risk of later becoming overweight or obese — 65 percent more likely for each diet drink per day.
The findings, the latest from the long-term San Antonio Heart Study, took even the researchers by surprise.
"I was baffled," said Sharon Fowler, a faculty associate at the University of Texas Health Science Center, who presented the data Saturday at the American Diabetes Association's 65th Annual Scientific Sessions in San Diego, Calif.
Researchers looked at questionnaires and medical records for 1,177 patients who began enrolling in the study in 1979. All had weights considered either normal or overweight, but not obese.
The volunteers were asked how many soft drinks per day they usually drank and whether they were regular or diet — or a combination of each. The researchers followed up with them over the years.
Drinking any soda — regular or diet — was linked to a higher risk of becoming overweight. But when the researchers adjusted the data to account for differences in age, **** and ethnicity, they found regular soft drinks had very little connection with serious weight gain.
Diet drinks, however, did.
The researchers are quick to point out their findings are not proof that drinking diet soft drinks causes people to become heavy. It could be as they began gaining weight, they switched from regular to diet drinks.
"People who were normal weight, one out of four of them at the time of our study were drinking diet drinks," Fowler said. "People who were overweight but not obese, one out of three of them were drinking the diet drinks. Definitely they were voting with their feet. They were obviously trying to avoid gaining further weight or repeating a family history."
However, the idea that diet sodas can lead to weight gain isn't new. Last year, a group from Purdue University found that when rats were fed the equivalent of diet soda, they ate more high-calorie food afterward than did rats fed the same amount of a drink sweetened with high-calorie sweetener.
The group hypothesized that the body regulates its energy needs through appetite and that it learns to associate sweetness with a lot of calories. But when fed artificially sweetened foods and drinks on a regular basis, the body figures it can no longer use taste to estimate calorie consumption. It assumes that it can eat all the sweets it wants, without consequences.
But noted obesity researcher Barry Popkin cautioned that the San Antonio researchers don't have enough information to draw conclusions about diet soft drink consumption and obesity risk.
"One needs to study in a complex, sequential way how earlier diet drink intake affects subsequent weight changes, but these scholars have not done that," said Popkin, head of nutrition epidemiology at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill.
UTHSC's Fowler acknowledged the findings raise more questions than they answer. However, she pointed out that when people drink any kind of soda, it is instead of healthier beverages.
"I don't think it's a strong enough association to make a public health recommendation, but personally, I think people would be much healthier drinking water." |

In their own article they state they are not sure they are right.
WTH kinda study is that? we conclude this, but, were not so sure this proves anything!

Basically, they realize there's a false correlation in the data. Evidence seems to suggest that people gain more weight when drinking diet soda, but common sense says otherwise. Sooooo... it would take yet more studies to find out what other similarities the weight-gainers share that could contribute to their fatiness.

If you think diet coke is bad, you should see the frightening statistics about bread (yes I know this is old you don't have to make a post to tell me)
