Coke Zero

I was never really a massive coke drinker.... maybe a can with my lunch every day.. and maybe a bit over the weekend. But I changed to Coke Zero a couple of months ago.... and I ahve lost 5 kgs... down to 70 now...... Still dont think COke Zero is particularly good for you... but it definately has less suger.<br />
<br />
Anyone else tried it?<br />

Come off it Baron, there is no such thing as a Kiwi male who weighs in at 70 kgs. Even Dan Carter is 91. -

Are you guys absolutely certain that the three cokes arent all the same thing just packaged differently like the three Duff beers (that all came out of the same pipe but were poured from seperate taps) that Homer found on the Duff Brewery tour?<br />

<br />
Diet Coke is seperate to any of the other drinks as it comes out of the Pipe of Evil Tasting Muck. -
pfft, only poofs drink non-full sugar drinks!! :fishing:<br />
<br />
Which might explain why I am 95kg... :shifty: actually have lost a few kg's myself, but purely from doing exercise and don't drink a great deal of that anyways, go through a few litres of water at work though a day -

From my can of Coke Zero on my desk ... its sweetener component is 951 and 950<br />
<br />
I think Diet is just the 950 ?aspartame? one ...<br />
<br />
Real coke has the evil fattening sugar stuff ...<br />

I was at a first aid course a few months ago and I had a 600ml bottle of coke zero during the morning session and walked in after lunch with a new bottle of coke zero. This lady, who mustve been about 130kg, standing at about 5 foot 3 said to me from across the room "another bottle of that diet stuff? dont you know diet fizzy drink causes brain cancer" So I said, "I guess brain cancer is better than ending up obese with diabetes", to muffled laughter across the room. Didnt really think about how it came across til after I sat down but I guess it explained why she didnt talk to me the rest of the course. -

I am fairly sure he works out more than I do. -

Most of the Year 8 primnary school kids in Te Aroha weigh 70 kilos or more. They dont work out much either mind you! -

Someone told me it has more caffeine than regular Coke, and is aimed directly at Pepsi Max.<br />
[/quote]<br />
<br />
Yeah, Coke Zero has more caffeine than normal Coke, but less than Diet Coke.<br />
<br />
I'm also a fan of Coke Zero, and get a fair bit of shit for it from my mates. Not as much as I got when I drank Diet Coke though. I didn't like Diet Coke at first, but give yourself time to get addicted, and soon enough you'll be craving it just like you did normal coke.<br />
<br />
Every now and then when I buy a combo they'll give me real coke by mistake. I consider taking it back, but then I get that nasty water behind the eyes thing happening and it feels so good - just a bit more, then I'll take it back. Then, oh what the hell I never get real coke, may as well make the most of it. Man I want a coke. -
totally sold on the zero myself - had an ex flatmate who loved his fizzies and we got him on the zero versions (coke and sprite) combined with exercise he lost heaps nearly 20kg... I'm not a hot drink fan (coffee etc) but I need the caffeine to start the engine during the day...<br />

I think it tastes like crap. It tastes nearly the same as normal coke when drinking, but I can't tolerate the aftertaste.<br />
<br />
Anyway, im completely off fizzy drinks for the first few months of my diet (unless theres booze in it).<br />

Doesnt taste as good as original coke but least i dont feel so bad when i buy it when its on speciall at the supermarket...and tastes fine with Jack Daniels or with Rum -
In passing, it's hell on wheels for stripping grease off things like chains and engines. Stick the offending article in Diet Coke or equivalent for a day or so, wash down with soapy water, away you go! <br />
<br />
Not sure it's so great for humans, as a result, but what the hell... <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':rolleyes:' />
