    Coke Zero does not contain any of the following:
    • Calories
    • Fat
    • Carbohydrates
    • Cholesterol
    • Sugars

    It also provides zero nutritional benefits. and does not contain any protein, fibre, vitamin C, vitamin A, calcium or iron...

    Makes you wonder what it actually does contain.... (If anything)

    Water, flavoring, coloring, non-caloric sweeteners.

    No need to wonder. All that stuff is clearly marked on the label.

    So there's a fizzy drink with zero sugar and zero calories that tastes good, of course I'm talking about coke zero but how good/bad is it for you whilst on a strict diet?

    Its very good if it prevents you from going over you calories. I drink 40oz of Diet Dew each day because rather not waste 600 calories on soda. So for me, it's more of an enjoyable drink, that prevents me from going over my calories.

    And BTW, I also drink 150 oz of water each day, so that can't be used against me either >:)

    There's hidden sugars even in diet if I want a taste of somthing other than water I drink unsweetened tea. I tried the diet sodas for awhile the outcome was not good due to the hidden sweeteners in them.

    What sugar is HIDDEN in diet soda? Surely you aren't claiming that the fact it contains artificial sweetener is hard to know.

    What hidden sugars are there in a drink that is clearly sugar free? The mind boggles
    How are there hidden sweeteners, the ingredients are clearly labelled

    OP I drink 2-4 cans (330ml) diet drinks a day ...I also drink coffee, carbonated water

    None of them have sugar (well a little lactose in the milk in my coffee), calories or any affect on my weight, the nutritional balance of my diet or my health

    From experience coke zero didn't really affect my weight loss BUT it did play havok with my cravings. Just try limit the amount you consume.
