For me, the issue with Coke isn't that one Can can kill you. It's that I never seem to be able to drink only one can.

When I drink Coke, it becomes the primary way I hydrate. So five, six cans a day is not uncommon.

I can't speak for everyone, but I've known plenty of other people who end each workday with 5+ cans of Coke on their desk.

Personally, when I was drinking coke regularly, I was >30% body fat. Now that I've cut Coke completely from my diet, I am ~15%.

Honestly though, I would love for these facts to not be true for me. I miss Coke dearly. It's my favorite drink.

Yes, I would indeed expect that drinking around 700 fewer calories per day would lead to weight loss, because once again, despite endless protestations against the principle, calories in, calories out is the largest predictor of weight gain or loss. It's great to hear!
