I drink 3 diet cokes a day. Calorie wise, its no calories and no sugar. The only downfall is the artifical sweetner and caffeine. Caffeine is a stimulant but when it wears off, it makes me hungry.0

Diet soda is just as bad for you as regular soda, just in different ways. If it's just the carbonation you crave, try drinking carbonated water!0

Carbonation will make you bloated, but it isn't going to effect your fat loss
Good for you fo trying to get in some more water :]0 -
These things have alot of chemicals you could probably do without. I'm trying to drink less of them by adding MiO to my water. I've avoided one diet soda today via this.
Some chemicals in sodas are calicum depleting so that's not good.0 -
There are a TON of stuff, horrible stuff in diet soda. Hair, bones, you name it, it's probably in it. In all honesty, you're probably better off drinking regular soda, getting the calories than ingesting that.0

You're going to get tons of advice on this. I try to drink 8-10 (8 oz) glasses of water a day. Yes, I have a diet coke or diet dr pepper a few times a week. No more than 3 a week usually.0

If you're after fizz, why not try soda water with some fresh juice?0 -

I don't think regular soda is all that great either.0 -
Personally I think it is bad, I use to drink diet pop all the time until I realized its not good because of the aspartame. Aspartame is what's used to sweeten it and its not good for you. I love drinking water, add a slice of lime and lemon to it or even cucumber, it tastes great.
Pop in general is bad for you.

i drink carbonated water when i crave something fizzy.0

Do yourself a favor and research what the asartame in it is doing to your body. Then you can make your own decision as to if you should drink it or not. I would rather have 150 calories than be poisoned.0

O god!!!
No, You will not die, get fat, become lazy, eat more, or give birth to aliens from drinking it. This is a lose/lose questions around here. If you crave it, it is WAY better than the regular. Or treat yourself to one regular soda a week.0 -
