Do diet sodas make you gain weight or gain fat/reduce muscle? As I drink A LOT of diet pepsi.

No they don't. They are 0 calorie.4

They seem to make me retain water, so I guess it is the sodium.0

If You Could Steer Clear Of Sodas, Youd Be Helping Yourself Out Immensely... With That's Said, It About Moderation.. One A Day Shouldn't Hurt You, It When Your Drinking Three, Four, Five A Day That It Might Become A Problem.. Water Is Your Best Friend2

If they did, I would be pulling objects and people and moons into my gravitational field.15

Diet sodas are mostly water.

diet pop has very little sodium...drinking one now that has 15mg which it says is 1% of the recommended daily amount...its not the sodium.10 -
No, they won't make you gain fat since they are 0 calories. Drinking more water would probably benefit you if you are drinking a lot of soda.4

It was something, but I was drinking 12+ a day plus eating foods that contained sodium. My dr. recommended me cut back on sodium. I now drink no more than one a day and feel much better. I also watch sodium intake.4 -

It isn't bad for dieting. There is some back and forth in the medical community about impact of artificial sweeteners with diabetics. I'm not well versed in that area so I won't get into that, and you haven't brought up any health conditions. Generally speaking, drinking water is the ideal way to hydrate yourself and if you can get to a point where you don't hate drinking a lot of it that would likely be good for you. Putting that aside, thousands of pounds have been lost on MFP by fans of diet soda.3 -

All of my doctors, dentists and lots of nutritionists say they are not the best choice. Don't know why. They are probably all lying and make things up.4 -

They are not the best choice because water is the only liquid the body really needs.0 -

But what if you WANT one? And I mean you really, really want one. What then?1 -

I know, right? My Diet Coke I'm having with lunch right now has 40mg of sodium, but the turkey meat I had in my sandwich had like 1,100 mg, but no one starts a "Is Turkey Meat Bad for You" thread...9 -
Or what about the fact that it is like 95% water or that my drs and RDs have never said to avoid them.2
-
I'm not saying it is good or bad to have if you want it, I am just saying water will always be the best choice.2

Nope it's zero calories. They say somehow it makes you crave more food though if you drink diet pop. Not sure how, something to do with the sweetener Mayb...who knows!
Doesn't make me crave though0 -

The "best" choice? Probably not.
But that doesn't necessarily mean that they are a "bad" choice.1
