Is drinking diet fizzy juice bad for me? I have 2/3 cans a day while drinking 2 and a half litres of water. I googled it and it said it was really bad but people are telling me it's fine because there's nothing in it. X

    If you don't mind drinking chemicals then it's fine for you, anything that can be used to as a household cleaning product in my eyes, is never a good move.

    Lemon juice and white vinegar are good household cleaning products too.

    Let's see, water is 2 parts Hydrogen (Chemical) and 1 part Oxygen (Chemical). What do you drink if you don't drink chemicals?

    To the OP, it will not impact your weight loss.

    Watch out for that dihydrogen monoxide. I hear it's killer!

    I don't get why people don't understand this. Science for the win.

    OP, there's nothing wrong with diet fizzy juice drinks if they make you happy. Some people have a sensitivity to the artificial sweeteners in them. If you don't then don't sweat it. I have a sister who loves to tell me that aspertame is horrible and Diet Coke will be the death of me because I drink one can per day. She smokes cigarettes. I've stopped listening to her.

    There is some research that shows zero-calorie sweeteners can raise your blood sugar. That doesn't mean I never drink a diet soda, but I do go for the flavored sparkling waters instead more often, after learning what those sweeteners do to gut flora and blood sugar.

    Moving forward on your weight loss journey, only listen to science based research, peer reviewed studies...etc. If you just google something, you will get 10,000 hits from random websites that just write opinion pieces. The diet industry is 99% a scam so always be weary.

    Livv, I suggest fizzy water with fruit in it. More nutrients than the diet pop and you get to eat the fruit after - score and score!

    If I need a fizzy drink and do not want a soda, I drink sparkling water, like Perrier. I do not like the fruit flavored waters and would rather have plain water with some fizz.

    La Croix is a good alternative. Also now Nestle has a similar line of drinks, one is strawberry dragon fruit and quite good. I cannot drink the ICE drinks, the sweetener in it gives me migraines.

    You can also make your own as someone suggested by using a sparkling water with fresh slices of lemons, limes, or other fruits.

    ^^ this. And I'll probably get ripped apart for saying this, but personally, I don't really post any questions on here unless it's to get a consumer review about a non-consumable product (sneakers, gloves, etc).

    Most people, imo, on MFP lose some weight, hit 1K posts and all of the sudden they're fitness and nutrition experts.

    Uh, yeah, I don't blame you for that. Some of the things people justify for themselves just boggles my mind. (not to speak badly of your sister personally)

    If you like the fizz, you might try sparkling mineral water. It's just carbonated water so no artifical sweetners, no calories. I get this kind that is "lemon" flavored, but it's not sweet. It just tastes like a glass of water with an actual lemon in it.
