Hi There,
I'm sure its been posted a trillion times... I couldn't find it in the forum? And I'm new so not really sure where to look.
Why is Diet Soda so bad? I saw someone posted it can slow your weight loss down, why is this?
I only drink it and water (and the occasional glass of white wine).
Is it really worse then coffee?

The reason diet soda is bad... besides it being a mess of man-made chemicals and artificial sweeteners... is that it is sweet, but has no calories. The sweetness primes your body for calories, then it doesn't get them, so it makes you more prone to overeat.
That's what I've read, anyway. For me, I will still buy a diet coke when we're eating out, because I don't want to add another 200+ calories onto a meal that's already too high. I'm not sure whether that science bears out if you're drinking it along with food.0 -
That's an assumption that it makes people overeat. People that gain weight drink diet pop. People that lose weight drink diet pop. Wonder what the answer is.0

In general I am not a fan of the artificial sweeteners they have in diet drinks as I don't think they are good for you. I do drink sparkling water as it gives me that carbonated fizz I like in soda along with iced tea and good ole basic water.0

I love diet soda. I've tried to get off of it and found that I overate when I was off of it. I don't drink at all. I don't smoke. If diet soda is the only "bad" thing I do, then so be it. It helps keep me full and helps me with my sweet tooth as well.0

Completely agree. I love diet soda and it is the only bad thing I do. I am going to give myself the pleasure and keep it around!!!0

lol are you trolling?0 -
I'm part of the "one a day" crowd. I don't drink coffee or tea, so it's how I get my mid-morning caffeine jolt.0

I drink it. All that caffeiney, fizzy goodness and no calories. And, let's be honest, drinking diet soda is so NOT what made me fat lol.0

In reasonable amounts it is not detrimental to your health and will not slow your weight loss.0 -
1) Reputable source *check*
2) Its a blog *check*
3) Talks about invisible fat *check
4) mentions toxins *check*
