How diet soda causes weight gain

Ok: I know I am behind on my Insanity posts. The holidays threw me off and I am doing doubles right now to make up for it. Bear with me and I will tell you about it soon.

I have been worried about diet soda again but for different reasons than it making me fat. Still, this seemed interesting to me when my Bro-in-Law brought it up while home from school where is is learning a lot about medicine.

So I did what anyone does for research these days: I checked what YouTube had to say about it. Turns out Phosphoric Acid leaches many useful things from your body.

This is cause for concern. I need to cut back on coffee...

Daily Caloric Needs

As I mentioned in an earlier post, I am trying harder over the next 60 days to manage my calories better. Shawn T teaches the Harris Benedict Equation which is what the Navy taught me also. Rather than spell it out for you, I found this neat link you can follow.

The initial calculator is for your Basal Metabolic Rate. You will need to follow the instructions to the Harris-Benedict Equation to find a multiplier for your activity level. Finally, you will be shown how to add or subtract calories to gain or lose weight.
