It's the same but it's not the same on your intestines. I don't eat fast food but it's like me saying that if I eat a burger from mc Donald's of 500+ calories than its the same as if I was to eat my wild caught fish burrito of 500+ calories. Calories are the same bit ingredients are definitely not. Remember, you are what you eat. Always enjoy your meals spiritualy and physically

I need a citation on spirituality...

calories wise yes. Of course there is junk that's bad for you in diet soda (I still drink it) and I've heard it actually correlates to weigh problems, supposedly because it makes our bodies crave sweets or something. Whether you buy that or not, it isn't exactly good for you but neither are a lot of things.

So you didn't read the thread?

This shouldn't continue to surprise me, but it does. Who comes to a thread with over 400 posts and drops something like this in? Do they really think it hasn't already been said?

So you didn't read the thread either?

wait another hour

This thread is like the "Groundhog Day" version of newbies not reading the thread before posting.

However, your body still reacts to artificial sweeteners in a similar way that it would if you were to eat sugar causing your insulin to spike therefore your body ends up holding onto fat.

(1) Aspartame does not cause a spike in insulin. https://examine.com/faq/do-artificial-sweeteners-spike-insulin/

(2) A spike in insulin does not matter anyway, and certainly will not cause you to gain fat in a deficit. People often misunderstand this. What insulin does is transport things to where they should go -- amino acids from protein to muscles, for example, or sugar to replenish the glycogen supply or, if you are full up, which you likely won't be if eating at a deficit, to fat. Even the latter doesn't cause a net fat gain at a deficit, as it will be offset by fat that gets used for fuel. So it makes no difference.

In my opinion, diet coke just isn't very good without rum.

To answer your question, yes. However, your body still reacts to artificial sweeteners in a similar way that it would if you were to eat sugar causing your insulin to spike therefore your body ends up holding onto fat. You want to find that sweet spot in your blood sugar and maintain it as much as possible. Adding diet beverages to the mix doesn't necessarily aid in weight-loss.

Stop this nonsense...

Nothing better than checking out a thread with a nice, cold Diet Coke™.

Has anyone seen those videos where they por Reg. Coke on a car battery and it eats away the corrosion? -that's a little pass fear mongering....WIll Diet coke do they same thing, just eat our insides out.

I doubt it's any worse the HCl acid, one of the strongest acids. I typically have plenty of HCl in my stomach, so I'm not too worried about Coke.
