Now that we are mentioning it . . liquid is the majority of my diet - I eat one "meal" a day, but I am drinking something constantly.

The life of a Geek. So sad.
Dang it... I didn't want you to say that now I have to accept that I am a geek, and an ugly one at that. I still don't know why my wife married me... Oh wait she was drunk, never mind.

About 70% of what I drink throughout the day is water. I know it's good for me, and I like to pig out so why not pig out on water.

However, if H20 is out of the question, I drink a diet coke. Not because I'm on a diet (although I could definitely do away with some of the tonnage) but because I like how it
  • Doesn't ruin your taste buds (not sure why regular soda does that, but my ability to taste seems handicapped when drinking regular soda)
  • Goes down easier and is more refreshing.
  • Doesn't give me heartburn.
  • Doesn't "stay with me" (for 20 minutes after drinking a regular coke, I can still taste it and generally "feel" it. I'm not sure how to explain it, but I don't like it one bit)

Not bad for a guy who used to drink soda like it was his job.

Thoughts? Comments? Encouragement?

Your list fails to mention.....full of sodium which causes you to retain alot of water. So you dont gain fat.....you still gain more water than you would in fat weight, thus adding to the tonnage. Sorry.

No pop, pops!

Most soda has little to no sodium--something like 30mg/can.
