Why do some people eat a huge meal and then insist upon a diet soda?

Observed at a Country Buffet. ;-)Why do some people eat a huge meal and then insist upon a diet soda?
because they think that they can at least diet in some way: saving calories. But the truth is that diet sodas don't actually help at all. Because diet sodas are made of aspartame which is a really sweet form of artificial sugar. Which eventually lets people want to try other sweet types of foods because of the sweetness of the diet soda....i forgot what resource i got this from, but from what i remember all in all, diet sodas don't help at all because it causes people to crave more sweets because of the sweet taste of the diet soda....sorry for the redundance....
Of course they are saving the calories, instead of drinking them as empty calories, they are eating them as nutritious calories.......many, many of them.

Some people think regular soda is too sweet tasting.

Besides your not suppose to drink cold liquids with a meal, they make the fats in the food glob up into chunks of fat and are harder to digest. Also fluids will water down your digestive juices which will cause gastric distress because the acids are not strong enough to break down the food efficiently.Why do some people eat a huge meal and then insist upon a diet soda?
What is even funnier is watching someone drinking a diet cola and eating a Sundae covered with Chocolate Nuts Whipped cream and a cherry (about 1,000 calories if not better) after eating the largest (and most calorie count) item a person can find on any fast food menu.
because they feel they need to contribute a little bit on their diet and it takes the guilt off eating everything else. and also because they boredom eat, or they just cant stop eating! some people may like diet sodas more than normal ones, i doWhy do some people eat a huge meal and then insist upon a diet soda?
Stupid logic...
Savvvy , That's so true %26amp; funny .

The one that gets me , is all the weight Loss Centers are right beside Donut Shops . Good Business ? You bet . Going by you see people from the weight loss centers , pigging back donuts , lol D :)
Because it tastes better. I think so anyway :)
I read somewhere that diet sodas are actually worse than regular.

The people who drank diet soda got fatter than the ones who didn't.
After so many years of diet soda, regular is way to sweet and syrupy for me, so it would either be diet Pepsi or Ice tea.
Diet soda was proven to be fattening.

But we assume because of the 'diet' part that we should drink it to lessen the guilt. We're only human.
It takes the guilt off for eating everything else.
cause u cuold drink alot of soda and not realize it and a can of soda is 200 calories

or maybe they want to look good. idkk lmao. good question
Because Pop doesnt fill you up, so why drink empty calories?Instead, drink pop, that has no calories
Some people don't like to taste regular soda, it has too much sugar taste.
it's a psychological thing

I think they think they r doing something good for themselves
Why not? :)

Well my friend gets diet drinks because she doesn't like ordinary..
most people like the taste of diet soda

plus they can eat more food

so they can get their money's worth
Diet sodas taste better.

Whatever makes them feel better, I suppose.
They don't want to feel too guilty.
It's the prefect balance. Me, I like a Big Mac and a Slimfast.
s it makes them feel like theyre saving calories and being healthy. denial.
no one wants diabetes
because maybe they just like diet coke.
