Why Diet Foods Are A Joke
Author: Christopher C.  | Posted: 26-10-2006 | Comments: 0 | Views: 196 | Rating: (50)  (?) 
Let me tell you something REALLY funny...
Really, though, this is a real knee-slapper...
It's about that person who goes out to eat and orders a:
-big, juicy cheeseburger
-french fries
-a side order of mozzarella sticks
-with a nice piece of cheesecake for dessert
All washed down with their favorite Hollywood diet drink.
Wait a minute....
I'm not done laughing.
Hold on.
Just a little longer.
Ok, ok, I'm fine now.
I will never understand why people think or feel that ordering a diet drink with their massive amount of fatty, unhealthy food will get them anywhere.
The sad thing is, is that they are REALLY convincing themselves that they are doing something good for their body, so they will inevitably do it over and over and over again.
You're not one of those people, are you?
Good, I didn't think so.
Just in case you are and you're not telling me (shame on you, lol)...let's work on fixing this problem immediately.
Unfortunately, this is what the multi, multi, multi-million dollar business of "diet foods" is doing to you.
They are tricking you into thinking that you are doing something "healthy" for yourself......
When in reality you are doing nothing, or even worse, you are making yourself infinitely unhealthier.
Onward.
I can literally go on and on and on about this seemingly forever, but let me give you a quick example.
Let's say you like a certain carbonated beverage.
Ok, so you decide to buy the "diet" version of this beverage.
Maybe because it has 1 calorie.
Or maybe because it has artificial sweeteners instead of sugar (hint hint: it still isn't good for you).
Whatever.
The point is that, "diet" or not, this beverage has many, many ingredients that you need to stay far away from.
Because if you can look me in the eye and tell me that aspartame (the key ingredient in diet drinks instead of sugar), is going to help you get lean...............
Then I have some oceanfront property in Arkansas that I'd love to sell you.
And it's on sale this week........just for you.
And whether you believe all of the medical studies about aspartame (and its buddies) or not.......I can guarantee you one thing...
It sure as heck will never help you lose weight or get in shape.
But it very well give you a false sense of security into drinking all of these diet drinks day in, day out, month in, month out, year in, year out....
You get the point.
And when somebody comes along and definitively proves that aspartame is horrifically bad for you..........
Uhhh-Oh.
Somebody's in trouble.
And it ain't me.
But hey, you're a smart person....you would never drink those carbonated drinks anyway.
Right?
Right?
Good, I didn't think so.
But, just in case, you know of a "friend" who practices this unhealthy behavior...just tell them I said that downing these so-called "diet" drinks will lead them to everywhere except where they want to be in life.
More specifically, to their local doctors, specialists, and hospitals.
You can also give them this special tip.......
If they are so hard up for some extra sugar in their life,
Just make themselves a cup of green tea, and add a spoonful or two of sugar in it.
Hands down, this beats any diet drink recipe 10 times out of 10.
How many more health tips do I have up my sleeve?
I'm going to say thousands to be on the safe side, but I bet you I have more inside of me.
To find out what I have to offer, visit www.fitnesswithchris.com and enjoy the fruits of my hard work for you.
And that is no joke.
I'll talk to you soon.
