Yay another excuse for lazy f*****s not to eat right and exercise!

sounds interesting.
Now watch for the disclaimers.
"with proper diet and excercise."
or
"burns 100 calories , but gives 200 in return"

If they can market it as such, this is going to be a huge success. Hurray for people who believe they can get down from 400lbs by drinking the NEW coke. Maybe McDonalds will offer a "fitness burger" that "helps build your muscles" [disclaimer: the burger has 2x the calories of others to ensure sufficient energy for muscle build up - working out may still be necessary]
Sony Pictures could offer the "healthy" movie - only 45mins long, so you don't sit on your ass for 2hrs.
And maybe - just maybe - we can get a car for the advancement of society. We sell those as a miracle drug against obesity and depression and when someone tries to drive it, the car's auto pilot takes over and drives them off a cliff. Ching - no more suicidal thoughts, obesity stopped being a problem: another happy customer.

Heh, it speeds up your metabolism the same way all those GNC weight-loss supplements do. In other words, use it for more than a couple of months and your're putting your life at serious risk.
There's still no substitute for eating right and staying active. Soda is really bad for you, but honestly that's far from the worst thing in the average American's diet. It's funny, just last week a study was released showing that people who drink on average 2 diet sodas a day gain *more* weight than those who drink 2 'leaded' sodas a day. It's because those people feel that by cheating on soda calories, they can eat more and remain inactive. That extra side of pototo salad will get ya every time, and so will parking your ass in front of the computer all day.

What's ironic Nah, is that Jak couldn't gain weight to save his life. Just as there are the fat haters, and big boned folks such as myself always hating on me, there are the waifs I make fun of. People can be grossly underweight, hehe..
too bad I hate green tea

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.

No Jak can gain weight. I just have to eat obscene amounts of food to do so and I have no desire to stuff myself or spend money on meal relpacement shakes and protein powders to make up the necessary calories And you are not big boned you are fat - deal with it

Would like to know this too. I think it's true that a lot of fat people drink diet coke, but I doubt that the diet coke causes fatness. Diet coke won't save you if the rest of your diet is crap, but I don't think it's worse than regular coke (from a purely weight-gaining perspective, you could make an argument about the health problems due to aspartame). I consider regular coke a pretty serious drug. I know multiple people that drink coke all day long, and I seriously don't think they could quit without a serious effort and some pretty extreme withdrawl symptoms. I'm talking waking up with a serious headache that doesn't go away until the 2nd coke kind of addiction.
Diet Coke with lime is the best new drink that has come out in recent memory. I don't keep it in the refrigerator it at home or I will drink 6 every night.
From what Jak has posted about his diet I would almost consider it an eating disorder. Even moreso with the info that he is a natural stick-boy. Eating healthy is a good thing, but I get the impression Jak would rather take a beating than eat an ice cream cone.
