interesting Points regarding Diet Pop from my trainer

I find it absolutely hilarious that large people will buy a chocolate bar & a diet drink - what's the point?!? Nuff said

I got a 200-calorie chocolate bar and a diet dr pepper today. course, it was after my 800-plus calorie burn at the gym. so I have plenty of room. is that still hilarious, or am I OK?

I never liked diet sodas because they tasted gross until I tried Diet Dr. Pepper. Then, I got totally addicted!

I started drinking a can or two a day at minimum and soon discovered that it gave me bladder problems. Pain in my bladder, sometimes pain within, while/after peeing... like a UTI but it wasn't! I medicated for a UTI, but the meds tasted horrible so I dumped them in more Diet Dr Pepper, all of a sudden the symptoms worsened (I drank a TON Of diet dr pepper that day) and I realized what had happened.


Diet Dr. Pepper is sweetened with Aspartame, so was the Equal sweetener I was dumping in my coffee.

Now, I've cut it all out save for a little bit of splenda, now I'll probably just go buy stevia! "D It really screwed me up, within a few days of cutting it all out and drinking plenty of water I was doing fine

You also could have had all those bladder problems because the amount of caffeine you had ingested in the soda and coffee had you dehydrated. I'm guessing if you drank all that, you probably didn't get in 8 glasses of water too.

Caffiene has a very very minimal impact on hydration.

blue agave is also natural, and tastes better than stevia!

This article is this guys opinion, none of it is fact. I would like to see real, scientific journal articles from a real medical journal. Many 'trainers' call themselves nutritionists, when they are not, in fact nutritionists or dietitians. I know plenty of people who drink diet drinks who are not overweight or obese. Excess calories and sedentary lifestyle cause weight gain. Diet drinks have ZERO calories, therefore, will not cause weight gain. Now, what if those who are drinking diet colas rationalize by saying "i saved 300 kcal by drinking diet instead of regular, I deserve the Big Mac and fries"? Is it the diet cola that caused weight gain? Or the Big Mac and fries? Am I saying diet cola is good for you? Absolutely not. Especially when it replaces healthier options like water and milk. Does it cause weight gain. Absolutely not. Be smart. Moderation is key.
