Soda really is just about the worst "food" out there.  Even things like Twinkes have some fat to slow digestion, but soda will skyrocket your insulin and totally screw you up. Most people are low on energy because they're already too dependent on carbohydrates for fuel.  Soda just makes this worse, and it acts very similarly to a drug. This isn't surprising since it basically does the same thing: modulate hormones. Diet Sodas are a no go too.  Thins like Acesulfame Potassium (Ace K) have been shown to inhibit brain synapses and produce a large insulin response when paired with sugar (like when eating it with a meal!) Great advice man! -Armi I couldn’t agree more Steve.
