Coca Cola really isn't great for you - like you didn't already know that !
Personally, I drink a ridiculously high volume of coffee per day - between 12-16 spoons of instant per day.
I have no ill effects (to the best of my knowledge) - but it's weird and I do want to change this.
Whilst your and my habits aren't brilliant by any standards - it could be SO much worse !
Many autists seem to struggle with addictive behaviours in one way or another.
I bashed booze on the head over 6 months ago without any struggle, so I don't expect my Lenten sugar hiatus to cause me too many problems. Thanks for your well wishing, and I return my best wishes to you on limiting your brown fizz.
I've been trying to cut my sugar consumption. I'm on at least six Coca-Cola cans a day. I'm trying to drink more water. I'm hoping it will make my stomach better.
That is a decidedly HARDCORE approach, and not a particularly wise one in my opinion, unless you are going to get your essential vitamins and minerals from supplements? I haven't got any special knowledge in the fields of nutrition and gut health....and I would imagine that boiled rice is better than some of the other extreme regimes of diet that I have read about....but even so, I would be careful with your body and especially your gut.
I'll be interested to know how it works out for you so please keep us updated.
I'm going to have a good bash at cutting my sugar consumption.
I never previously had a sweet tooth - always preferring savoury, cheese, cold meets, fruit etc - but since I killed the booze, I seem to have developed a worrying propensity to binge eat sweets - and I've even dabbled with awful energy drinks?!
I'm not going to go all "life-style craze" with it - ie I will still have bread and fruit juice etc - just will be avoiding the known obvious naughties, most of the time. It shows Lenten willing !
