Is Diet Soda A NO NO

Soul12 · 10-31-2009, 05:15 PM

Should diet soda be avoided for general weight loss? I have read so many different versions on if it is harmful to losing fat that I am lost.

Do most of you avoid diet soda? I know there are no health benefits from it. I just crave something sweet for some reason at times. I am not talking about a steady diet of it, just 1 or 2 cans in the evening.

Diet soda is fine.

diet soda shouldn't affect your weight loss. It's just that the artificial sweeteners are questionable to your health

when its in my house i will kill some diet coke/pepsi. it gives me something different and adds a small boost of caffeine. My all time favorite is iced tea, then again i sweeten it with sweet n low so im sure one day i will turn into the lab rat that is force fed by the truck load. Ill die happy i guess at the age of 105

I drink a ton of it and never had issues with weight loss.

I don't think the aspartame is good for you.

I once purchased a weight gain shake that contained aspartame and I felt really ill about a week after using it and I would get random headaches, dizziness and loss of concentration and I wondered why. When I found out about aspartame I thought I would stop and see if this really was why I was feeling like I was, and sure enough about a week after stopping I stopped getting the random headaches, diziness and other effects caused by what I believed to be the aspartame.

Thanks for the article. There is something bad about everything we consume these days it seems like. I drink water most of the day, but I know I can always do better.

Too much water is bad for you
