    I must admit, it does seem too good to be true, diet sodas taste good with no calories.

    I agree that fruit is not an enemy....it's loaded with nutrients we pay for in pill form and the antioxidants and fiber are a huge benefit to your immune system.Added sugar is, I think the key to your point. Juice, of course should be used in moderation. I personally avoid juice, cause those precious calories can go elsewhere:drinker: :

    For anyone not wanting to give up a coke every now and again....try Diet Rite.

    Its sweetned with splenda has 0 everything and without the harmful caffine. Going through caffine withdrawls not and the head is killing me. Hope this helps....btw diet rite is also cheaper tha Coke or diet coke.

    My body seems to want to do the opposite as others' - diet coke conquers my food cravings and fills me up, and water actually makes me hungrier and my body retains it more than diet coke, which is completely the opposite of what I've been told all my life.

    I do the same thing!! I'm full and satisfied a whole lot longer if I've had a nice big diet coke.

    I love diet soda. If you drink it in moderation and are happy with your weight, go for it.

    I worry more about too much carbs than too much diet soda.

    If you are going to have a soda then you are better off with a diet one.

    Drink water as much as possible but artificial sweetener will not destroy all your hard work. If you are logging calories and you are sticking to your goals then half of the issue is gone as you are not overeating becasue of the DC.

    And if you are worried about the insulin response then just have your DC with a meal or very close to eating. This gets rid of the other issue.

    Agreed, I drink a Coke Zero once a day and I am in great shape. In fact for me it curbs my sugar intake. So I don't buy that research I think if you're prone to overeating sweets or whatever it is gonna happen whether or not you drink the diet coke.
