why do people eat a cheeseburger and then have a diet soda?
439785
Because they are diabetics and can't have the sugar in regular soda.

same reason you eat big macs

Because if the composition is too acidic or too basic one way or the other, the soda could be toxic.\n\nAlso, it wouldn't taste good or sell well.

It because of fast food culture in the US. Consumer may have more choices but sadly it not healthily food. While other countries may have less food their diet has less fat and less sugar. For example in certain parts of the world they don’t have heart diseases. In Japan a study was done where by Japanese women who didn’t eat fast food breast cancer was unheard of. But those who live in Tokyo and ate a western diet had a risk of breast cancer. The result was that the local Japanese women living in the local countryside ate more fish and ate the traditional Japanese diet had low blood pressure. Example in Africa bowel cancer in unheard of yet, it quite common in the west. The French seems to be slim and healthy compare to the US.

The person most likely already has a problem with their weight and will use dieting to help control it.  But because they are not getting the fast results that they are looking for, they will eat heavy on the foods that they missed most between the time they are looking for the next new "super diet".  Their weight will continue to increase.  This cycle is called bingeing. \n\nThe reason people say that dieting is the problem because they choose the wrong diets.  They choose diets that are so restricted of the foods that they like, so when they are off the diet or reach their goal.  They regain the weight on the foods that they missed most.

Actually both, when dieting it's better to get as much liquid( especially water) as possible in your diet.

Because that is where most of the fat is biologically stored on men. Women need a lot more body fat for pregnancy and therefore we have other areas as well (like the thighs and butt) to store our energy in case of starvation... \n\nCut down on the beer and any alcohol and you will see a miracle...and in general people drink too many calories. Juices and soft drinks have as much as a whole meal!!!

because some people actually like to eat

To increase your weight, simply go ahead with the junk food.

For the majority yes - I think its got a lot to do with laziness, the majority or people are too lazy to come home and cook a meal - its easier to just buy something trashy.  And of course the more you do this the less healthy it is.  If you go to other countries you can see the difference, the french for example savour their food and yes they drink wine and eat cheese and bread - all carbs, but they eat them slowly and its not over processed like potato chips.

There were tests done that say it isn't healthy and can cause a multitude of problems, but everyone has to drink their diet soda to make up for that candy bar they ate earlier... not me though, purity is my stance or at least as close as possible

Because u can develop an addiction, or ur body needs more salt, fats, etc.\n\nCravings r just ur body SCREAMING for something in particular, i.e vitimans, minerals etc\n\nFor example if u are craving an ice cream ur body may need calcium, so have a glass of milk, or a piece of cheese :D

Haha I am not fat or tall so thank you for saying the word "majority."  We live in fast food nation.  There are a lot of lazy people out there who eat horrible meals and too large of portions.  They don't exercise and drink 6 Cokes per day.  They drive everywhere and they don't go see the doctor.  It's cheaper to go to the Dollar Menu at McDonald's than buy fruits, veggies and fish to have for dinner... and it is quicker!
