Diet Soda Makes You Fat
Dear Friend,
Every now and then a headline just reaches out and grabs you. And this one
is great because it confirms what I wrote about five years ago, in my best-selling Combat Abs book.
I wrote that the only people drinking diet soda are FAT - except for the
bikini-clad
models on tee-vee. And as horrible as sugar sodas are for you - at least you know
that ONE of the substances in the drink originally came from a plant. That would
be sugar. In a diet drink, you ain't gettin nuttin but chemicals. And these make
you almost as fat as prozac and other so-called anti-depressants.
Anyway, if you have Combat Abs - you know that I believe that most
diet products aren't good for you. That means they make you fat, and
this week my suspicions were born out in an article on WebMD.
In the article by Daniel DeNoon it says that people who drink diet
soft drinks don't lose weight. In fact, they gain weight.
The findings come from the University of Texas Health Science Center
in San Antonio, and was collected by Sharon P. Fowler and colleagues.
"What didn't surprise us was that total soft drink use was linked to
overweight and obesity," Fowler told WebMD.
"What surprised us was when we looked at people only drinking diet
soft drinks, their risk of obesity was even higher."
In fact, when the researchers took a closer look at their data, they found that
nearly all the obesity risk from soft drinks came from diet sodas.
"There was a 41% increase in risk of being overweight for every can or bottle of
diet soda a person consumes each day," according to Fowler.
Now get this: for diet soda drinkers who consumed 2 cans, or 24 ounces of diet
soda per day, the risk of being overweight or obese was 57% higher.
I bet they don't want to hear that at Coca Cola HQ. Or do they.
Let's take this another step. If diet soda's are no good for you, then
maybe the other million diet products aren't good for you either.
Fat free sour cream. Butter substitutes. Power Bars.
I have long suspected that all low fat, and fat free foods are what I
call "Yo-Yo" foods. What I mean is that as long as you are consuming
them you will always be yo-yoing up and down with your weight.
My advice: Substitute water for all soft drinks. And start thinking seriously
about eliminating all that other crap from your diet.
The Furey Fat Loss Program can help.
My brother Sean was in the restaurant business for 25 years. He has
a favorite story about waiting tables many years ago. Two very large
women sat at a table, looked over the menu, and waved him over.
Each ordered a double cheeseburger, cheese fries, a large chocolate
shake, and low fat cottage cheese. He had to run through the kitchen
doors so they wouldn't hear him laughing.
Drink water, eat real food, in as close to its natural state as possible.

P.S. A letter from Benny.
Matt,
Have received your emails for a long time, and bought Combat Conditioning Kinda did a bit here and there and never really committed.
One day a friend who happens to be an
officer in the British Army had a look-see in your book, and took it to Iraq to
shape up his troops. He kept emailing me about how he and his troops were
doing Combat Conditioning, and about how much better their fitness level was.
I started missing my copy.
Well, as luck would have it, a girlfriend called, and said her boyfriend had
split, and did I want any of his books and DVD's. I went for a look, and on the
top
of the stack were your Combat Conditioning DVD's.
To cut a long story short, my weight has gone from 217 to 188. My body fat is
22%, down from 33%.
The Royal Court has helped me focus, which in turn has motivated me to eat
better, and given me motivation in my whole life.
Ben
M.F.: Good work, your "donation" to the British Army paid off. This time- hang on
to my stuff. And order Combat Abs to
keep melting that fat off. Keep me posted on your progress.
