Re: Diet coke
Doesn't it have sodium? It might cause you to retain water.

Re: Diet coke
I lost a lot of weight years ago, drinking one diet coke a day the whole time.
I don't drink it anymore, because I've given up artificial sweeteners, but I've read that diet soda can make you crave more sugar, which would lead you to eat more, thus having a negative impact on your weight loss.

Re: Diet coke
Diet coke is not necessarily bad. There is some evidence that shows that artificial sweeteners can increase appetite...this is the part that could be "bad". I would start having one can a day and then slowly try to reduce how much you drink until you are having it a couple of times a week.

Re: Diet coke
From what I understand, using any kind of artificial sweetner (i.e. Splenda, Equal) is bad because your body cannot process them and they eventually make it difficult to lose weight.
With that said though, I don't think it's horrible to have one can a day...........anything in moderation, right?
I think it's the people who drink 6 cans and try to justify it, KWIM?

Diet coke
I was told by my doctor that it's proven through a bunch of different studies that people who consume at least one diet soda a day have a higher BMI then people who don't drink diet soda. There are a lot of theories about why that happens but nothing is really confirmed. You can google "artificial sweeteners BMI" or "diet soda BMI" and some of the studies/theories come up. So although there is no confirmed reason why... it is proven to lead to an increased BMI.
I still love diet soda  I try to cut back as much as I can though.

Re: Diet coke
it's not the healthiest option because of the chemicals and what it can do to your digestive system, but it's definitely "better" than a lot of other beverages.
i regularly drink water for the most part, and seltzer when i'm out to eat, but that diet coke is totally like a treat for me - or at least that's what i try to make it. -----
