Diet Coke Break

Advantages: taste, thirst quenching
Disadvantages: rotts your teeth

...Diet Coke.... Even before I was watching what I eat and drink to loose weight I would always opt for a diet coke over regular coke (or as I usually call it "fat coke"). The taste difference between standard coke and diet coke is rather a lot because regular coke tastes so very sweet. Regular coke will often make my teeth feel coated in a layer of sheen and give me a furry tongue, so for these reasons I have always been a diet coke girl. The calorie content in a can of diet coke is a mere 1 calorie per can which is nothing compared to the couple of hundred that a standard coke can contains. The price is the same however whether you are drinking regular or diet and for a single can nowadays you are looking at paying around the 70 pence mark. I drink a fair amount of canned drinks and will always stock up when the supermarkets...

Time for diet coke......

Advantages: Taste, Cost
Disadvantages: Still not all that good for you

...Time for Diet coke...... Review The company The coca cola group was first invented way back on the 8th of May 1886 by a gentleman called Dr John Styth Pemberton, Baack then Coca cola was selling an average of 9 drinks a day netting them an impressive $50 that year. Look at today's sales, Coca cola sell more than one billion drinks in a 24 hour period in over 200 countries. IT was not until 1900 that the UK had its first taste of Coco cola, when it was sold through soda fountains in places such as Selfridges. In 1999 Coca Cola purchased Schweppes which seen the range increase to include drinks such as Dr Pepper, Fanta, and many others.

Review of Diet Coke

Less of a diet - more a lifestyle change

Advantages: You will feel better for it and it will put less strain on your body
Disadvantages: You just need the motivation to get started

...This diet offers much more than the chance to lose weight - it will help you to be healthier, fitter and less likely to get some of the awful health problems people experience as they get older. DASH actually stands for Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension and my interest was aroused because I had high blood pressure, but , this diet will do a lot more than help with hypertension - it is suggested it can hep to keep the heart healthy and prevent osteoporosis so I suggest that even if you haven't got high blood pressure you should read on ...... If you think about it our diet has changed massively over the last 50 years or so. It is only since around the 1960s that supermarkets have sprung up everywhere, prior to that people shopped at corner shops from a range of foods that didn't include ready meals, highly processed foods...

Diet Coke. Cokes Skinny Sister.

Advantages: Perfect Coke Taste with 0 Calories.
Disadvantages: Contains aspartame.

...Diet coke seems to have a marmite effect - you really do either love it or hate it. I never really drank Diet coke until my sister started seeing her boyfriend about 2 years ago, he's diabetic so diet coke soon started becoming a permanent fixture in our fridge. One night he was making his normal rountine of waving a can in our faces asking if we wanted one, all I thought is 'this guy isn't going to give up until one of us takes it!' so I politely took one off him and as they say, the rest is history! HISTORY: John Pemberton invented Cola (French Wine Coca) when he was a Chemist in Georgia which was claimed to be a neurasthenia, then in 1885 he made an nonalcoholic alternative to the French Wine Coca that our much loved brand 'Coca-Cola' was finally born from. It first started being bottled in 1894 and Diet Coke was finally...

Review of Diet Coke

Just for the taste of it - Diet Coke

Advantages: Only 1 calorie, I like the taste
Disadvantages: Not great for you

...I was always a fan of coca cola and loved to have it when at the pub or for a special treat. I have recently though moved on to loving diet coke instead. Part of this probably stems from the fact that I always seem to be on a diet these days and at least I have no worries that I am adding to my food calories with my drinks too. I have also actually grown to really like the taste. Diet coke came from Coca Cola who are the biggest manufacturer of soft drinks worldwide. I am sure if you went to any country in the world people would know what coca cola is. Coca Cola as a brand has been around a long time but Diet coke is a more recent addition to the portfolio of drinks. It is one that has actually stuck around though unlike their attempts at New Coke. The premise of Diet Coke has always been that it is a diet drink as it only has...

Review of Diet Coke

It's a diet Coke thing!

Advantages: It's okay to drink, quenches your thirst,
Disadvantages: tad expensive, have to drink it quickly, drink when cold, not warm

... INTRODUCTION The first proper relationship I had was with diet coke; I used to spend my hot summer days straight after school running; I was exhausted after running down and needed a perfect drink to quench my thirst. Diet Coke. It would also be a perfect companion when reading my book; I'd hold the book and drink from the can at the same time. Thankfully the relationship never got too unhealthy; the most I'd consume would be a several cans a day. It has been a godsend, seeing me through the university year where I'd need instant caffeine and I wouldn't have any coffee in the kitchen. The fact it has almost 1 calorie per can was a bonus as I was already eating enough in my revision mode! Diet coke is one of the most well-known drinks in the entire world; after the regular coke. It is a sugar free soft drink produced by...

Review of Diet Coke

Time for Diet Coke break

Advantages: great taste next to no calories
Disadvantages: prices of soft drinks keep soaring

...I have always been a fan of diet soft drinks. As a child my mother would never give me or my sister any pop that had sugar in it. You would never find a bottle of sugar loaded pop in the fridge at my house. The only time I ever remember drinking pop that had sugar in it would have been at my Nanna's house and then my mother wouldnt have been too pleased. Anyway I grew up on diet pop and still to this day it is the only pop I drink. With the exception that now on a few occassions it will be mixed with a vodka instead. Well its a good combination in moderation. It never bothered me drinking diet coke or other diet soft drinks while all my friends at school would be drinking what they called normal pop. I knew that what they were drinking would rot their teeth but you still got bullied for it as to them it was wrong. A little history...

Review of Diet Coke

Cambridge diet

Advantages: A low callorie diet
Disadvantages: Tastes vile

...The Cambridge diet is the type of diet that is known as a VLCD or a Very Low Calorie Diet. On the Cambridge Diet you consume 415 to 1500 calories per day, on what I described as a flexible weight-loss programme. It is a Sole Source Diet, in that all of your vitamin and mineral requirements are provided by the diet regimen. You take the diet meals in the form of powdered shakes that you mix yourself, soups, chocolate coated bars and readymade drinks. The diet depends on the effect of Ketosis, which is the technical term for starvation. Men and women need 2,000 to 2,500 calories per day. The Cambridge Diet relies on the fact that your body will have to rely on fat reserves in order to provide energy. Unfortunately the first thing to be burnt off will be muscle mass and vital organs, so most experts believe that any VLCD should...

Review of Cambridge Diet Drinks/Soups

Great tasting diet lemonade

Advantages: Few calories, great taste
Disadvantages: none

...I don?t normally buy any other lemonade except R Whites but as I was on my way home the other day I realised that I had forgotten to get some. Threshers was the nearest place to buy some, so called in there. No R Whites, no ordinary Schweppes Lemonade, but they did have the Schweppes diet variety so paid £1.49 for it, which I know is a little over the odds for the 2 litre bottle in Tesco. The bottle is much like any other throwaway plastic 2 litres bottle and it has a yellow screw on top and a clear plastic sleeve around it giving product information. According to the back of the label, I am supposed to use the contents to mix myself a Pimms and lemonade, but sadly, I gave up my Pimms at roughly the same time as I stopped the Sobranie Cocktail cigarettes and upsetting everyone on the bus with Disc Blue French smokes. (Anyone who...

Review of Schweppes Diet Lemonade

Diet Coke Contains Poison

Advantages: tastes nice, no calories, low sodium
Disadvantages: potential health hazards, too fizzy, addictive

...Although the name of Diet Coke (or ?Coke Lite?) implies that it will help one lose weight, starting a Diet Coke habit will not make you look like Kate Moss. In fact, some of the heaviest people I?ve ever seen have been walking around with a can of Diet Coke attached to their hands as if it was an extension of their limb. Diet Coke has a bit of caffeine, but not enough to give you a real buzz. However, like coffee, it can stain your teeth. This drink is a dark brown, syrupy texture with no redeeming nutritional value. A glance at the nutrition facts reveals that while it has no fat, calories, or carbohydrates, it contains many chemicals that could be dangerous. Artificial flavourings and sweeteners such as ASPARTAME, which Diet Coke contains, may be harmful. Laboratory studies have been inconclusive, but some fake sugars have...
