    Will it kill you? Probably not. Is it good for you? No.

    Will it kill you? Absolutely not. Is it bad for you? No.

    Thats better

    It's not very nutritious, but it probably won't do too much damage if you have one every once in a while. (Personally, I can't stand the taste of Coke Zero, but to each their own :) )

    Nothing like rationalizing. :laugh:

    Still doesn't make it good for you.

    Why do you think it's bad for you?

    There have been studies done that people who drink diet sodas have bigger waistlines than those who don't.

    I lost a lot of weight while still drinking diet sodas. I finally kicked the habit and I'm glad I did. I'll drink it every now and then but it's water for me.

    Maybe because people with bigger waistlines more likely tend to use diet products in general? That's no argument if you don't know the reason of the drinking.

    From personal experience staying away from the Coke Zero and other diet soda's made me feel better when working out. However, I believe moderation is fine. I like the earlier suggestion for drinking at least the same amount of water that you have as the soda, plus more. I will Have one every now and then though. =)

    What I said was that it is not good for you.

    As part of my new year journey, I gave up all sodas for at least a year and artificial sweeteners for good. I loved Coke Zero. However, I didn't like the price I had to pay to support my habit. The verdict is still out on just how harmful artificial sweeteners are, but for me I just couldn't shake the feeling that it really can't be good for me. I had a headache for 2 days when I gave AS up, however, now I'm okay and I feel good about the choice I made. The bonus is that my mom decided she could do it too. :)

    Find it amusing that Coke Zero has a calorie or two. I dont expect to log that since I'm quite sure that I burn 1 calorie walking to the fridge and opening the bottle.

    They had enough trouble marketing it as Coke Zero. Can you imagine "Coke Two"

    I dont drink coke zero but I do drink diet pepsi though. About 3-5 cans a day. (I dont drink coffee so this is my caffeine). I also drink about 80-100 ounces of water a day. (I pee a lot). I have lost 70 lbs so far and am only 2 lbs from my goal weight.

    Yes, you can still drink diet soda and lose weight.
    Diet soda does not cause you to gain weight.
    Diet soda does not kill people. (there is no evidence to prove that artificial sweeteners are the cause of illness or death, just assumptions and innuendo suggesting that it is a cause)

    Like anything, you should have it in moderation. But if drinking a coke zero helps you get through the day and still lose weight, I say go for it. It having a soda is going to make cutting calories or working harder in the gym better, then there is nothing wrong with that.

    I don't use artificial sweeteners. I've read studies that they actually make you want sweets even more because they are so excessively sweet, that and they're essentially chemicals that we do not know all of the side-effects to and I don't think they taste good. Sometimes I'll have a stevia sweetened soda, but honestly I don't really like the taste either. If I'm going to treat myself to a soda, I'm going to go for the real deal.
