Has anyone else suffered from my strange complaint? Whenever I consume a carbonated beverage, be it alcoholic or not, I experience initial fullness but as the bubbles ‘pop’, I start to feel hungry as my ‘stretched’ stomach relaxes. Indeed, if I am ever forced to eat a meal when not actually ‘in the mood’ as it were, a casual fizzy drink about 30 mins before always gets my appetite stoked and even makes me feel positively hungry! Incidentally, I have recently lost 35lbs by cutting out my mid morning and mid afternoon diet pepsi which always triggered my urge to snack! (Disclaimer: weight loss aided by thrice weekly BodyPump!, but nevertheless…I snack less when I don’t do fizz!)
Am I alone?
(btw, this is my 1st EVER post…Yay!)
