Diet pop all you can drink or bad?

Sorry, I am on the bad side. And I drank lots of Cafeine Free Diet Coke up until Dec. None since and don't miss it.

Water or water alternatives are much better for you. Try cutting back or keeping it as a treat!

Water alternatives = no cafeine, non carbonated and no sugar products.

They are all much more helpful in the weight loss department than any soda or carbonated beverage.

Best of Luck!

There are chemicals in it so dont go over board.

I say 'moderation in all things'. I am someone who drinks 1/2 to 1 can of soda per day, but I am trying to quit b/c I know that the chemicals in it are not healthy.

Diet sodas actually trick your body into wanting to eat more. The fake sugars tell your brain and body that you are about to have a real sugar rush, then when your body realizes that you dont have any sugar to process, it triggers a hunger response.... with that said.. i do down a big gulp a day of diet dr pepper...

I have read artifical sweetners cause bloating.

Everything is a chemical

I LOVE DIET COKE<3 if i have soda it will be diet coke, but otherwise i drink water or fat free milk (usually with cereal) i wouldnt POUND diet coke like no tomorrow, but i think a can a day is okay! they say its unhealthy for you but cant be too much worse than what we were eating before that got us to where we are huh?! :laugh:

It's bad, it's a neurotoxin & if it gets hot it turns to something like formaldehyde - see http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&amp;source=newssearch&amp;cd=3&amp;ved=0CFMQqQIwAg&amp;url=http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/andrewmcfbrown/100094470/why-thin-people-dont-drink-diet-coke/&amp;rct=j&amp;q=diet pop&amp;tbm=nws&amp;ei=DB4WTsiXNoSBsgKU_OBz&amp;usg=AFQjCNG_uS9qMi1G9XJaF1B2WHbzUB3QUA

I say bad because aspertame works as a preservative (keeps fat from metabolizing properly). Also, the other additives (like flavors, etc) cause the liver to work harder to remove these impurities from your system. Your liver is the organ you want to pamper (not overwork) when losing weight because it is the one that converts body fat to energy. If the liver is too busy getting rid of toxins, your body will use protein (muscle mass) instead for energy. This is the primary reason people who want to lose weight should avoid processed foods.

if you look, almost everything that is artificially sweetened has aspertame! i was on the hcg diet and couldnt have ANYTHING with aspertame, i found ONE pack of sugar free gum without it adn it was trident cinnamon, otherwise everything had it. so whether its in diet coke or not we are still consuming it... =/

In general, diet or not diet pop, it stripped calcium out of your bone. When you drink too much, in addition to no good for your bone, all those excessive calcium cannot be processed by your body, and it end up in your kidneys. That's could be one big reason for people have kidney stones. So, quit, or if you cannot, drink minimal.

I've just read more inaccurate posts that my mind can comprehend. Everything is a chemical? Of course it is but there are different types of chemicals. Maybe you should have taken organic chemistry?( Don't be fooled by the name they're EXTREMELY harmful). And aspartame a.k.a the prime ingredient in diet drinks is an ORGANIC CHEMICAL. Do you have any idea how aspartame came around? I believe two scientists we're looking for a new insecticide and one of the idiot assistants decided to taste it. ( As a science student me and my friends laugh at this every time, reallly that's the number one thing NOT to do in a lab). I'm not going to tell you why its bad, because i've posted it several times about how its chemical structure is actually bad but people never respond to my posts (so i assume they either don't read it, don't care, or don't fully understand). All i'm going to say though, is that you are FAR better off without this nasty substance. Someone posted this link on another topic and ( as a chemistry student) i will vouch that what he is saying is VERY accurate so please watch it. (Sorry if this came off harsh, just people talking about things they dont understand REALLY frustrates me! )

I love diet soda... and I drink a great deal of it. I also drink a ton of water and crystal light. I have lost over 50lbs drinking large amounts of soda, and no, I don't desire more sugar. For me, diet soda is a good alternative to munching on other things.

There are bad aspects to everything: V8 is nowhere near as good for you as some like to think it is, nor is fruit juice.

I guess I just believe that being overweight would have killed me far sooner than my diet soda is going to, and diet soda adds to my quality of life. I personally can't stand the flavor/heaviness of sugared soda anymore.
