Like to me it's nay. It has artifial sweetners and colors. And could make you gain weight in the long run. So wats your opinion on it. Yeah or nay.

    Explain to me how a zero calorie drink makes you gain weight? I seem to have lost weight fine. .. All things in moderation

    To me it's a yay.

    For a general recommendation it's personal preference. If diet soda aids you in reducing calories from your diet and/or it provides you with temporary satisfaction then it's a yay.

    To my knowledge the majority of data does not support your claim about weight gain.

    It's personal choice. There's a lot of research out there that says it'll make you gain, but even more that says it won't. I personally use splenda in my coffee and have a diet coke every now and then and I don't think that's holding me back or triggering sugar cravings.

    Soda, diet or otherwise, is more like that of a treat, like a desert if you will, for me. If I am going to drink something, I'd rather drink water anyway - why take on calories that do nothing for you? Diet Soda, IMO, tastes awful - in that case I'd rather chew gum or have a tic tac.

    But when I do drink a Coke, it better damn well have an ounce or two of Captain topped with a lime.

    How can it make you gain weight in the long run? Are you giving undue credence to all those internet scare stories masquerading as science condemning aspartame as some sort of poison sent from Satan himself? If you are, do yourself a huge favour and ignore them. If you want to drink diet soda, go for it - but don't over do it and down litres of the stuff. Because water should really be the liquid you drink the most of. But if you want some soda, grab a can of diet whatever and enjoy it. Safe in the knowledge it won't kill you, make you fat, rot your brain and insides, turn you into some sort of psychotic mass murderer or whatever it is the scare stories claim they do. Enjoy.

    Like to me it's nay. It has artifial sweetners and colors. And could make you gain weight in the long run. So wats your opinion on it. Yeah or nay.

    To me it's a yay.

    For a general recommendation it's personal preference. If diet soda aids you in reducing calories from your diet and/or it provides you with temporary satisfaction then it's a yay.

    To my knowledge the majority of data does not support your claim about weight gain.

    NAY! But only because I don't like the way it taste!

    in terms of weight control, because diet sodas have 0 calories they do not add to your daily caloric intake, obviously. They may be a welcome variety from water. The claim that they make you gain weight is due to the fact that they are high in added sugar. Sugar makes you crave more sugar. So it is normal for people to consume a diet soda and then want to snack on a non-diet bag of chips. Oftentimes people sees this effect as "I'm craving chips, I must be hungry, therefore I must fulfill the craving". If you can recognize what is happening in that your body is just on a sugar high and doesn't want to come down, then you can resist the craving for more sugar.

    I lost 126 lbs drinking diet soda, so it didn't make me gain weight. It works as a tool to help lose.

    Explain to me how a zero calorie drink makes you gain weight? I seem to have lost weight fine. .. All things in moderation

    When you eat or drink artificial sweeteners your body interprets the sweet taste as sugar and therefore expects an energy rush but when it doesn't happen some people can get extreme cravings for high fat or high sugar foods to compensate for the lack of energy received from the drinks which can lead to overeating which is what causes weight gain rather than anything actually in the drink.

    Nay--no reason to put chemicals in my body. And for me....diet drinks...Splenda and AS in general cause me to crave food. Good ole water.
