I am addicted to diet soda so I dont think I can ever completely give it up lol but I do try to cut it down a lot, so has anyone still lost weight even if you drank diet soda? I know it has 0 calories in it too.

    I drink diet all the time, it has stopped me from losing or now maintaining my weight. I have been drinking diet soda for 30 years.

    Of course. As you said, it has zero calories. Why would it affect your weight loss?

    Yes! though I am not a big soda drinker, and for me, it is really only a summer indulgence. But its ZERO calories!! Its a great diet tool for satisfying both thirst and hunger cravings, so it just makes sense to me to include it in an eating strategy aiming at weight loss.

    Yes. Being a Type 1 diabetic, I started drinking diet soda long before I ever needed to lose weight. When I started dieting, it never occurred to me to give up diet soda. In fact, at the time of my first diet, diet soda was considered a healthy alternative to regular soda and good for dieters. A few years ago, when I hit a plateau, I gave it up for a month. This did not break the plateau. So, I started drinking it again. This time around, I have had diet soda almost every single day. I've lost 29 pounds in six months and am only five pounds from goal.

    no I kept gaining weight. Noticed when i stopped drinking it I was a lot less bloated. I drink a regular coke every now and then. Didn't gain weight from that either.

    Nothing makes your body "cling to fat". Anyone that thinks that diet sodas are causing their weight issues, has a problem tracking their calorie consumption.

    I've lost weight by counting calories, exercising AND also drinking "real" soda...the first 2 are more important to the weight loss thing...

    I drink seven to ten Coke Zero Vanillas in a daily basis, and have suffered no setbacks in weight loss. The only thing making most bodies "cling to fat", is fork-to-mouth disease.
