Man oh man. Diet coke is so hard to give up. Potato chips were easier to give up and I loved them!

    What was the doctor's reasoning? Was this a general practitioner?

    Did she give you a clinical reason for why it is bad for the body?

    Lol, doctor's usually have little knowledge of nutrition. It's like a reflex reaction for them to look for a culprit like diet soda to fix your issue.

    Your doctor is right. You should give up diet Coke because Diet Wild Cherry Pepsi is far better.

    So don't give it up. I've drank diet Pepsi for over 25+ years. 2 cans a day. In moderation, there's no scientific evidence to show it's detrimental to health or weight loss (other than correlation). I DO make sure that I drink water throughout the day too.

    I switched to regular coke only occasionally and the flavored cabonated waters (la croix). Diet Coke was giving me headaches. I didn't lose weight instantly or anything magical after giving them up though. But they definitely weren't helping my weight loss.

    How can a diet drink that has no calories impact your weight?

    You look at all the impossible-to-pronounce things they put in everything at the grocery store--and then say that single articificial sweetners are bad for you (aspartame, sucralose, etc.)? Nonsense.

    I have no opinion on the diet soda debate other than my opinion on artificial sweeteners. I'm partial to the sugar free sweet tea :)
