I have been drinking a ton a diet coke lately to help me stay awake longer and focus better for studying, but I noticed after a few days of it I was skinnier than normal.  If it means anything I have only been getting three hours of sleep, and I have woken up sweating like crazy.

The sweating is beacuse it has upped your metabolism. SO yes it does. They sell green tea extract for diet purposes, when ephedra was pulled form the market green tea extract was added to diet pills. You have to be careful cuz you set yourself up for heart attack etc.  Plus you definitely need more sleep. I suggest you alternate caffeine-free diet coke so u get some sleep!

God has smiled upon you.  :-)  Your metabolism is most likely really fast.  This can be from exercise or it's just the way you are made.  I don't think it's anything to worry about unless you are excessively UNDER weight.  In that case, try protein shakes and chat with your doctor about it to make sure nothing is wrong.  Good luck.

Funny you should ask.  I am trying to drink more, well I'm trying to drink only water.  I brought a gallon of drinking water to work with me today, half is gone.  I noticed when I stopped drinking anything with caffeine, my joints didn't ache anymore.

I have the same problem, but that happened with my pregnancy. I gained a lot of weight, almost or better saying: unhealthy weight. Anyway, this is what you should try: don´t eat after 18:00 hrs, don´t drink coke etc, just water (they even found out that juices have more sugar as coke does), try to move a lot and of course: no junk food. Try to eat a lot of veggies and fruits. And with meat: chicken. Best way doing this: chicken with salad like ceaser salad..... \n\nAnd you should forget about those weight watcher and other diet stuff. Because if you lost the weight and you eat "normal" again, all that weight is coming back. Also, try to do lot of exercices, the most of them, you can do them at home, if you have a ps2, I recommend Kinetic.\n\nHope I could helped you a little bit...

Any other symptoms?  If you are drinking a lot and urinating a lot it may be a good idea to get tested for diabetes.  That can make even the simplest tast seem like an uphill struggle...I know Ive been there...:D

YES!!!  Absolutely.  Diet Coke, unless it's "caffeine free," has just as much caffeine as regular Coke, and caffeine increases heart rate which can trigger and/or intensify anxiety.  My boyfriend used to suffer from anxiety attacks, and he found that caffeine could trigger them. \n\nHere's the math:  Soda generally contains between 10-50mg of caffeine per serving--  but if you're having 64 ounces (or 5 cans) per day and there are 2 servings per can, that's 100-500mg of caffeine, which is equivalent to about 2 cups of caffeinated coffee... That's a significant intake, even by itself!\n\nSo I would suggest, based on that, to cut back your intake of caffeine per day.  I recommend switching to "caffeine free" diet coke.

If you want me to find out about what a friend did, I can do that.  But, its not a pretty thing.  Basically theres a little list of stuff you can eat for a month, and you have to drink this really nasty drink.   The only problem is, she didn't really gain alot of energy.  \n\nNow, what I do.   This is going to sound nerdy or whatever, but, I play ddr (Dance Dance Revolution.) from when I get home till when I sleep.  It makes you a little sore, and sleepy.  But the next day you have alot of energy and feel awesome.  I do it for about 3 hours a day.  And regardless of what people think, its an awesome work out.  Ive lost 30 pounds doing that.   Though, you can't eat alot of bad food, like candy an stuff.  Also, drink alot of water when exercising regardless of the exercise.  It helps to lose weight and detox.  \n\nNow, cut certain things from your diet.  Anything thats Soda, aka coke cola, Pepsi, etc.  Not only do they make you gain weight, but they damage things.  Mocha's are also a good idea to cut, if you drink them.  The large ones have around 1000 calories, depending on the place, company, etc.   Another big one is, don't eat fast food.  That is worse for you then soda or mochas.  Ive experienced it myself, but, the more I eat, the less energy I have, the more I hurt, the more weight I gain, but thats pretty much known now.   It may be hard to break, but thats because of the mass MSG in the food.  Its as addicting if not more then coffee.  But, it does alot more damage then coffee.   \n\nSo, stay away from fast food, soda, and if possible, mocha's.  Not coffee, but the mochas because of the milk and all the other stuff.  And stay away from MSG, mono sodium Glutamate.  That is in alot of things now, canned food, chips, fast food...just watch those, and you'll gain energy, and even if you don't exercise, you will start to lose weight.  But, the more you exercise, the more you'll lose weight.\n\nIf you don't have ddr, I would run or jog for a couple hours.  When you get back, you'll be tired, but after a while you'll actually get more energy, and feel better.

could be.  Do find out you need to treat it like a science experiment.  Drink it and then see how you feel.  Don't drink it for a few days and then drink it again.  If you feel that way then I'd so don't drink it!

it could be a # of reasons,\n1) hang over...did you drink the night before(umm... or every night?)\n2)you need caffeine, because you drink coffee/soda and your body is used to having it\n3)you are getting too much sleep, or maybe not enough?\n4) you sleep in a head stand position...stop doing that!!!\n5)your neighbors play loud music all night long\n6)you're not drinking enough WATER, very important!!\nok, if it's none of the above then I would speak to an "ask a nurse" if it persists or gets worse then see your Dr.they may do some blood tests. also if you don't already take one, I'd start taking a multi vitamin once a day,it may help you feel better...it couldn't hurt!!\nI hope you figure out what's up....

it depends on how much you were doing and for how long and how much water you drink. i have a friend who was a super heavy user like 2 -3 grams a day and was quite stout body shape he went to detox and was clean for a week and still tested postive for meth!?! and he hadn't done any at all for 1 week!! so i recommend drinking as much h20 and green tea as possible. and this is a must, if you have access to a steam room go in for 10 - 15 minutes twice a day or take epson salt baths this will make you sweat out the toxins like mad. it also makes you feel super wired cause it is releasing any of the speed stored in your system. its also an amazing way to detox. also take alot of b12 to give you energy. good luck

Recent research in this area suggests that there may be multiple factors involved.\n\nFirst of all, there is a correlation with overeating and sleep deprivation; under-sleep, over-eat.  Try getting 7 to 8 hours a night.\n\nSecondly, there is, apparently, a group of people who eat food the way an alcoholic drinks.  Several physiologic feeds have been identified for that.\n\nThird, there is a psychological component.  People commonly eat as "displacement" activity: they want to do something, but cannot, so they eat instead, or they turn to food for solace when they're distressed, lonely, depressed, elated, etc.\n\nFourth, there's an age issue.  If you're still young enough to be growing in linear height, physiologic changes occur right before a growth spurt and they'll give you an insatiable appetite.\n\nFifth, some medications will cause excessive eating; I recall being on high dose corticosteroids for a medical problem I had, and I was eating everything in sight for a couple of weeks.  Got off the high dose steroids, appetite disappeared, and so did MOST of the pounds gained...  Some street drugs will produce the mega-munchies, too.\n\nSixth, some people develop excessive eating habits after stopping any one of a handful of street drugs; amphetamines and cocaine are big players, here, but don't figure they're the only ones.\n\nSigh, wouldn't life be nice if it was simple, and our wills controlled everything about ourselves?

I don't know if they still sell this, if not I'm sure they have something similiar.  I use to take No Doze when I had to pull an all-nighter for college.  That and a big monsterous pot of extra strong coffee or espresso!  Dark chocolate will also do the trick.  Even sodas that have tons of caffeine such as Mountain Dew, Jolt, etc.

Personally for me it was in my waist as my gut that hung over my belt is now inside my belt. I also noticed it in my facial area mainly my double chin has shrunk. I lost 24 pounds and 2 3/4" in my waist (I am currently on day 31) using a natural and healthy no diet weight loss plan along with a natural and healthy energy drink

Yes, look at the sodium intake. I used to drink coke, a lot. I stopped drinking coke and started drinking tea, sweetened with the real sugar, just not a whole lot of sugar. After a little time, I noticed I had lost a little weight. One more thing, a friend of mine went to a diet doctor, he told her to drink as much water, tea and cool aid as she wanted, just no sodas and to sweeten them with real sugar, just not too heavy.

I was like that this week, just build up by eating and you will be back to normal within a day or 2.  It worked for me.  It's probably because your stomach doesn't expand doesn't want food.  Just try eating :)

I took it a while back and it made me feel 'off'. Shortly after, I took a nutrition class at a local college over the summer and learned a ton of stuff about nutrition and healthy living. I also learned how bad diet pills are for you. After you've been taking them a while they eventually slow down your metabolism so that when you get off of them you have to force yourself to eat less and exercise more just to maintain the weight you are at. I know it sucks but the only real way to lose weight and KEEP IT OFF without screwing up your metabolism is by cutting 500 calories from what you normally need. (You can find out online) and doing a minimum of 30 mins of moderate exercise each day. Hope that helps!
