Yes, and at least one Starbucks drink that my friend occasionally gets have over 1,000 calories in it. Forgot what it's called.
I remember seeing someone finish cardio in the early morning and took out a protein bar and ate it.

I see this all the time. Many Starbucks drinks have well over 1,000 calories, and fast food meals can be over 1,500 - 1,800 for a burger, fries, and a Coke. I see people at work do this all the time, plus they eat something with the Starbucks "coffee" for breakfast. So by afternoon they are already over 2,500 calories, sometimes even more.

Not necessarily- my cardio workouts burn 600-700 calories (about 1.25 hours, calories burned displayed on the machines, which do incorporate weight into the calculation). The protein bars I buy are around 200 calories. I agree, though, that it's very easy to wipe out the calories burned in a workout if you don't watch what you eat/drink.
Well, cyanide is also zero calorie, so would you make the argument that cyanide is better than fried chicken?
Please read the following article for explanation to why diet coke is actually worse than regular. Don't get me wrong, they're both bad. But the diet stuff's secondary effects make it worse.
Why not just avoid coke overall and drink water 99% of the time?
Simple. I don’t want to be limited to drinking water.
As for your article...it’s as I stated:
“The data Swithers examines does not establish a direct cause-and-effect relationship between sweeteners and obesity, it simply sees a strong correlation between sweeteners and obesity, it simply sees a strong correlation — just as strong as we see with regular soda. There could be other explanations.
For example, it may be that using artificial sweeteners changes people's behavior in other ways — some might think because they are drinking a "diet" soda, they can afford to eat an extra helping of French fries.”
I'm surprised at the people who have "one Pepsi a month" as a treat. After giving up all sodas, I have no taste for them anymore. WAY too sweet. My once a month might be fruit juice, if I am at someone's house who drinks it. I don't keep it in the house. Just water, non-sweetened HM iced tea, and coffee and tea.
Alcohol (wine) very seldom.
Hey, leave a girl her 1 Pepsi a month! I eat healthy, I am a vegetarian, I don't eat candy and etc...I drink 99% water.... I jog, do aerobics, and yoga.... I just look forward to and cherish my 1 Pepsi can a month... It would be inhumane to take it away from me!
