Diet Pop

Hi everyone-

Do you think too much Diet Pop leads to water retention and weight gain? I really love Diet Pepsi but I think it is could be reeking havoc on my overall physique. I am thin (5'8 and 106 lbs) but I can't stand to look down at my stomach because it always looks like I'm about 9 months pregnant.

Other than the pop I follow a pretty healthy meal plan, 6 small meals a day that includes lean protiens, good carbs, and efas. Do you think it's the pop or could it be something else that I'm doing wrong. I would hate to give it up (major caffine withdrawl) but I will if I have to!

Thanks in advance for the help.

Well, caffiene is a diuretic, so that would cause the opposite of water retention.

Try to go with just water for a week or two and see if you have any results that way . Caffine withdrawl is not that bad You'll live



Good things come to those who WEIGHT !

I could handle giving up my Diet Coke, but not my coffee!

Caffine RULES for sure . I've been taking xenadrine . If mixed wuth caffine i get all jittery and that sucks . Try those fat burners with no caffine that should cure the withdrawls . Not really cure but suppliment w/o the extra sugar . BTW I love the MT.DEW . How is the diet DEW ? never had it

I don't think any of the boys caught your stats. There is no way that you look 9 months pregnant at 5"8 and 106lbs. I don't care what time of day it is!! Was this a mispell and you are a guy who is 160??
Either way, I believe that anything in moderation is fine. And caffeine as far as I know has not been linked to any long-term detrimental diseases CONCLUSIVELY. So until the FDA says otherwise, I'll continue to ingest my 200 mg/ day.

Personally, I think you should NOT trust the FDA to be after your better interest. Some of the output just doesn't make sense, if you really want to be healthy.

(Example: The FDA's allowance for mercury in fish is 75% higher than the EPA's. Go figure).

It's carbonation that makes you feel bloated.
