So, I drink one Diet Sprite or Dt. Mt. Dew, or Dr. Pepper, (just depending on what I want) a day on my drive home. Since those diet drinks have no cals, or carbs, and I think the sugar is pretty low, if not 0, their ok right? It's one a day, and shouldn't stop me from loosing....???

It probably won't stop you from losing, but my own personal opinion is that diet drinks aren't the best for you................why put extra chemicals in your body?
Just my own view, though.0 -
Look up Aspartame... It's TOXIC... Diet sodas ALWAYS stall me, ALWAYS. Your body is better off without any artificial sweeteners whatsoever.0

I have to have 1 diet coke a day...usually at lunch time. It's probably the one thing I will NOT give up. It's only 1 per day, so I'm not worried about it.0

It's fine.
Ever pound I lost was soaked, saturated, marinated in Coke Zero. I PROMISE it won't slow your results.0 -
Yes it is fine.0

I agree with the people who say it's fine, because it is.0

You'll be fine! Enjoy!0

I'm sorry but y'all are crazy... Aspartame is terrible for you. It's a toxic chemical.0

I drink diet soda too. It's ok in moderation (IMO).0

Honestly...EVERYTHING these days is "toxic". Seriously, every time I turn on the news, something else is bad for you. If I'm going to die anytime soon....my 1 diet coke a day is NOT what's going to kill me!0 -
Some say that artificial sweeteners trick your body into releasing insulin. When insulin is running through your veins (about 3 hours after a high glycemic meal) your body only burns sugar as energy and can't burn fat. So, I'm staying away from sweeteners, including diet sodas. Plus, I have a hard time staying asleep after a day that I've had a diet soda. Gave them up in January. If nothing else, I'm savin $2-5/day0

Nothing wrong with it in moderation.0

aspertame (sp?) is super bad for you
it can cause memory loss (okay in large doses)
and I find that it makes my back hurt more, if i decide i want a soda drink i just get the actual drink, as long as it's once in a while, not very often, rarely even.0 -

It gets a lot of bad press but food has much more aspartic acid than anything in drinks. Chicken for example.

Diet drinks is still better than full calorie sugar versions.0 -
One a day is probably fine if you can't stomach anything else, but when I saw dietician a few years ago, she said to try to avoid diet drinks. Apparently, they're not completely benign, or maybe the thought is that not enough is known about them.0

Their are alot of things when taken too much of it is toxc. Water can be toxic also if you drink too much of it water intoxication, Anything in moderation I drink it also. probably too much but I am ok with it today. Those studies that link those side effects you would have to drink like 100 diet sodas a day to repicate that. Granted it may not be all that great for me either along with too much caffine I drink. Along with alcohol that most ppl drink talk about toxic. I dont drink alcohol anymore I eat right and I excercise 4-6 days a week. So I am ok with Diet Soda today anyways.0 -

Says who, exactly? There are studies which show the artificial sweeteners in diet sodas have no effect at all on insulin levels. As for the trouble sleeping part - caffeine?0 -
Its fine. BUT
Some people find that diet drinks keep thier sweet tooth going, therefore they was sweeter things...
I drink Diet drinks all the time0
