Is Diet Soda Bad?

[decay33]

I recently started a workout routine, I have went from 220 lbs of mostly fat to about 169 lbs (I am 5,9) I still have a little flab on the gut but I am still working out 6 days a week. I drink about 10 to 12 glasses of water a day. Is one diet soda a day going to ruin my efforts?

I highly doubt it.

No, you will be fine. But you could drink more that 10-12 glasses of water (how big are the glasses?)

A diet soda a day is fine but I agree with Funky.........more water. Most of us drink an average of 4-6L a day.

That site appears to be a load of crap...or a joke.

I drink about 2 diet soda's a day and it hasnt hindered me at all! Just make sure they are zero calorie diet drinks, some claim to be diet but still have sugar, carbs and calories in it! example of this is ......... diet snapple

I am a pharmacology/toxicology grad student and we just went over the long term results of a study on aspartame and they showed...not a damn thing. It had no cancer causing effects and no other noticeable toxicities.
