Diet coke quite fattening too, I was surprised to discover

[sovietsong]

Wtf are you lot on about? Why would you get anything other than once with scraps?

[smashedagain]

Get scallops and scraps in scunny. The fish is pretty tez which is suprising seeing as Grimsby is less than half hour away.

Pudding chips And gravy great northern tea . Enjoy whatever you choose

OMG, We used to get the best puddings in Blackburn, thin light suet stuffed with meat that used to ooze out over
your chips when you stuck your (wooden) fork in it.
There bloody awful down here, that is if you can find one. Inch thick solid dough with nowt but a brown stain in.
In fact all chippy's from about Derby down are crap, no fish patties, no scallops, no gravy, no scraps, no battered crabstix, 
And there expensive! £1.60 for a carton of peas ffs! You can get a mini fish and chips for that in Rotherham!!!

It's very low in calories, and normally the number of calories is one of the major things to look for in food I guess. However, it's not the only factor. There are two things about Diet Coke that make it bad:

1) It's 'diet', ie it contains artificial sweeteners. These make the drink taste sweet on your tongue and the brain prepares you for a sugar hit, which it doesn't receive, 'confusing' the brain in a certain way. This has been suggested as one of the main mechanisms by which diet drinks make you gain weight. People who take diet sodas are much more likely to gain weight and have large bellies compared with those who don't, over longitudinal studies (they don't just slice up a portion of the population and leave themselves open to other correlations). It's really well documented, they find it again and again.

2) Like many fizzy drinks, it causes net acidity in the body, which the body has to instantly work to correct. The efforts the body makes to do this correction causes a leeching of certain minerals, one of which is iodine. Iodine is crucial in maintaining normal levels of metabolic rate via the thyroid gland.


So you can eat a moderate-calorie diet, do plenty of exercise, and still get fat if you're eating the wrong type of 'net acidity' foods, because they deplete the iodine you required to maintain a proper metabolism.

Lemons are acidic (obv) but they cause a net acidity decrease after you eat them.

Sorry to post this on such a nice nutro-degen thread. If god didn't want us to eat deep-fried battered pizzas he wouldn't have made them taste so good.

[Josedinho]

Are scallops the same as scones?

[Girgy85]

Breast milk mmmmmmm wonder where I can get my hands on some of that?

[Redsgirl]

Scallops from the chip shop are just a slice from a huge cooked potato, battered and deep fried.
Granny style scallops are potatoes cut like thick crisps and shallow fried.
Well that how they are in our place anyway.

So, does that mean you should stick to the foods in the right hand side to lose weight, or can
you be too alkaline?
And how do you know all this stuff???!!
BTW Can someone tell me how to quote without including reams of stuff that went before please?

ManualsMum, while I have so far appreciated your posts greatly, the acid/alkali thing seems like pure BS to me. That linked page reads like "nutritionist" bullshit. There appears to be no scientific/clinical data for that stuff, and it just looks like an excuse to promote vegetarianism and some fad diet. Given there is also a link to "All Natural Cancer Treatment" (sadly now 404) at the bottom, I have great scepticism, sorry.

The diet soda studies seem rather flawed as well. Correlation and causation mashup. I may as well state that global warming is caused by lack of pirates.



I drink lots of diet drinks. I'm fat. I'd take a lot of convincing there is causation rather than correlation.

So, Will being a pirate make me thinner?
