Why is it that an obese person will usually order a diet soda drink with their fast food?

At this point does it really matter if they have a diet drink with their order of 5 double cheese burgers and 3 supersize fries and 2 apple pies?

Responses:

I am overweight but I hate diet soda and I do not eat at fast food places. I do not overindulge at home either. I just can not be as physical as I'd like to be so do not think that all fat people live on fast food and diet sodas. Now to stop being a gripe, I have seen what you mentioned also and we laugh about it
i have fat friends, very fat friends. a few for that matter and guess what, they all drink Diet Coke. wanna know why. BECAUSE THEY LIKE THE TASTE!. most of the fat people that i know, do not eat a lot of sweets. they do not like sweet things. they are heavy because because they genetically come from a heavy family, they eat large portions of food, and do not exercise enough. they do not like sweets. they LIKE the taste of Diet Coke!. Obesity is NOT funny!. some folks have an addiction with food, just like an alcoholic or a drug addict
How about a diet soda with two large chocolate candy bars to go for a snack after dinner? LOL. I know many who do or have done that one Steven. I even know how the reasoning works with that. You are going to have what you want and try cutting calories in other places to at least cut down some! lol. XO CE
Well, you can really save a few calories on that diet soda, but the french fries will blow that out of the park. pretty much a calorie mind game
Two popular possibilities: The "health halo" whereby people feel they can order and eat more food because of the calories they save by drinking diet cola. Same rule applies at Subway where people think they are eating healthfully, so they eat more. Secondly, it seems our bodies might respond to the sweetness in non - caloric sweetners by being fooled into thinking they are also getting calories energy and when the body doesn't get that energy from the sweetness it looks for other ways to get it, sending out hunger impulses to fill the void. Lots of recent studies support the surprising claim that non - diet cola drinkers tend to weigh less than diet - cola drinkers!
They are changing their routine. If the number 4 is subtracted by 1 is the result still 4?
My husband while not obese is diabetic. He says the diet sodas taste sweeter. I have tried them and they do. Perhaps they want to taste the sweetness more
Even if they are aware that a diet soda would do little vis a vis the caloric count, it is a small comfort. Obesity is as much a disease as any other, and every little gesture helps. I saw a man buy a size 40 Ski jacket, and he was built like Sherman tank. Maybe he hoped that if he had that jacket, it would motivate him to do something positive. perhaps he hung it on his fridge?
