I thought I’d share this story. I don’t know why.

My husband drank a lot of coca cola over the years. He loved the sound of a new bottle opening and would slug it down. He was also slightly overweight and had high blood pressure which he was taking medication for. No doubt he was heading for diabetes. An off hand comment by me “you’d lose weight if you stopped drinking coke and curb the consumption of 2 icecreams a night” made him think. He gave up the coke. He ate less icecream and as a result he lost 20kg in a matter of months. He did nothing else differently. It was so dramatic that people were asking him if he was ok. His medication was reduced, he gained abs and he could see his balls for the first time in a long time. His watch told him he has the fitness of a 20 year old. He’s 50 next year. He feels great. The thing is he replaced the coke addiction with a diet cordial addiction. No sugar he declares. I happen to read the back of the bottle and there’s nothing in the nutritional panel but the ingredients were things I’ve never even heard of. I point this out to him. He says he has 5 bottles to get rid of. I told him he doesn’t have to get rid of them straight away. Have it when you feel like it. He is now looking at everything. “Why does my chips have sugar in them? Im not get these again”. The point is, its ok to have these things occasionally but if you wanna look and feel better have a look at things you mindlessly eat.
