The sodium in bottled water is there for taste. It’s also in such small quantities that its nutritionally negligible. ---

It’s also in such small quantities that its nutritionally negligible. Thats not what I’m saying, the sodium in most tap/bottled water somewhat counter balances the water your intaking, keeping your cells from swelling up with to much water. Distilled water has no sodium in it at all, causing your cells to fill up more than capacity. Ever take distilled water vs tap water to plant cells under a microscope? Same concept. ---

It’s negligible. The amount of sodium in bottled water is like 2-10mg per 500ml. Diet soft drinks have 4x+ that. And these arent even sodium-rich foods. Seriously, the sodium intake from bottled water vs distilled is insignificant considering you get several thousand mg’s of it from food every day. Potassium and vitamins is what fuels intracellular hydration. Your body wont hydrate itself properly without plenty of those two and sodium. ---

Just because the Coke zero has zero calories, doesnt mean you should down 10 cans/day. The amount of sugar in it compared to water alone is the difference maker. If you drank 10 bottles of water/day instead of that coke, diet or not, you would have lost even more weight. ---

It’s the greatest diet ever.” I’m not sure if that’s directed at me or not, but I actually eat quite a bit during the day, and just happen to drink a lot of diet soda as well. I never wrote that I don’t eat. Just because something doesn’t work for some doesn’t mean it won’t work at all. I’m not suggesting everyone should go out and buy cases of Coke zero, but it works for me, and my diabetes is even in check now since I’ve done it. My A1C (sort of a measure of blood sugar over time) is lower now than when I was diganosed w/type 2 diabetes 4 years ago. My symptoms of type 2 diabetes are all but gone, and if you or anyone you know has this disease you can understand that is a big deal. Successful dieting, however it’s done, is a hell of a lot cheaper than going to CVS every 2 weeks to get bent over for prescriptions, trust me. I will stay with doing what has worked for me, soda and all. ---

One of the worst things you can put in your body. I used to drink 4 or 5 20z bottles of Mt. Dew, Pepsi, or Cola every day. 3 weeks ago, I switched to water cold turkey and haven’t looked back since.
