Coke Zero (even the new Coke Zero Sugar) is the bomb
but it definitely triggers me to eat everything I can find. I don't have this reaction with much smaller amounts of artificial sweeteners such as in my coffee or water flavoring drops. 1 -

Coke Zero Sugar is even better than Coke Zero was. They totally dialed it in.
It's never made me hungry before though. In fact, I've drank it between meals to curb hunger.1 -
My apologies for linking the wrong study. I hope I did clarify that there were two cancer scares, neither substantiated, two artificial sweeteners. I like picking up Saccharine when I can find it. Too bad it got a bad rap.0

Yes, it rules and... Interesting...well, ya, it could also be my food addiction triggering me and not the Coke Zero.

How many people have you seen walking around with a double bacon cheeseburger and the largest french fry available...but it's all good because they're drinking a diet soda? I've seen lots...
I hear this all the time, and I know everyone rolls their eyes at me for doing this, but if my calorie limit just barely allows my most-favoritest Whataburger lunch every so often (and as it is, I'm sacrificing the mayo for cheese and skipping breakfast), no way am I going to waste any of those calories on full-sugar soda when the diet version still brings me joy (JOY, I tell you!), and I don't know why this particular meal-ordering phenomenon is so vexing to people.
If someone could come up with a zero-calorie bacon cheeseburger, I'd order that, too.
agreed. Swapping diet soda for regular is an easy and painless way to moderate calorie intake. I can fit a bacon burger and fries into my day along with a diet soda.0 -

I won't even touch a soda. I think the last time I had a soda was about 6 years ago.Diet soda and regular soda are both bad for you. Diet soda is just full of artificial sugar which is man-made and just chemicals and regular soda is just tons of high fructose corn syrup.Anyhoo,either way it's bad I won't drink it I only drink water I drink about a gallon and a half of water a day and unsweetened coffee and unsweetened tea.17 -

Hope you know that coffee and tea are full of chemicals too.
IN fact... So is your water.
IF you look it up, water is just one molecule from being rocket fuel or bleach.11 -

So again, another person who didn't bother reading through the entire thread, where many of these points were addressed, with links to actual scientific studies that dispute your misguided beliefs?10 -

Your computer is also manmade . . . so . . .7 -

As for your diet, they will only satisfy your craving for sugar, not curb it. You will still crave sugar because your body will still register that artificial sweetener as the real deal. I only allow myself to have a diet soda like once a month because its just better to go with unsweetened tea, water, or powerade zero.
Good luck!

Powerade Zero has artificial sweetener in it.6 -

I just don't understand responding to an OP in a seven page thread without at least skimming through the responses to see what you're wading into. It's almost as if people who are afraid to drink diet soda are willfully under-informed.
Might also explain why there are like 275 Diet Soda threads right now.
Reading is fundamental.7 -
True story. Many years ago I took an Electronics course and the professor is discussing capacitors and resistors and how they work. Also explaining in full detail why they do not save energy. We as a class got it but some guy in the back asks, “Do capacitors save energy?” Ugh.0

I can't imagine being so baselessly confident to be certain that there was nothing relevant to my comments in the previous seven pages of discussion so I could just post my "unique" take without reading anything.
Hey, it's Friday!6 -
So while consulting dr. google for a meme, I learned there is a Woo Woo cocktail: vodka, peach schnapps, and cranberry juice. Perhaps we should all be sampling this before hitting the forums from now on. Bonus - no innatural chemikillz! Peach schnapps is found in nature, right?6

I generally don't drink much diet soda, but every time we have one of these threads I MUST go get a diet coke.
Are these threads actually started by Coke to encourage cravings and consumption?? ;-)6 -

I am less concerned about your avoidance of soda and much more concerned about if you actually drink 1.5 gallons of water per day in addition to drinking other sources of water such as unsweetened coffee or tea. Did no one else notice that? That would be 24 cups of water in a day plus on top of that how ever many cups of coffee and tea you have (which is also water). That is way way to much. Have you consulted with your doctor about doing that? Have you had your blood pressure or sodium levels checked recently since you started doing that? That is going to just tank your blood pressure and probably cause you dizziness. Are you taking in a ridiculous amount of sodium that would warrant drinking that much water?
It is recommended that you drink about half a gallon of water (total water included in other beverages) per day. Not sure what made you think more than 3 times that amount would be better. You must have to pee like constantly.6 -
@kimny72 that sounds like an awesome drinking game. Line up shots of Woo Woo and take a drink every time someone posts "your opinion, but I'll stick with mine".
I am pretty sure my Hungarian father in law was making Peach schnapps (or equivalent) in his bathtub. It might have been higher than 40% proof.7 -

So much this.
I also want to know why "man made" = bad. I mean, hope you aren't wearing man-made clothes or anything!0 -

That sounds delicious. And I want in on @jgnatca's game.1 -

I'd think the ideal "Woo Woo cocktail" would be ACV, BCAAs, exogenous ketones and Shakeology all mixed together.

Calories-wise no, but watch out for diet sodas using aspartame. https://nutritionfacts.org/2016/09/01/side-effects-of-aspartame-on-the-brain/20

Ugh. and round and round we go. Not even going to bother at this point.10 -

Mmmm I don't currently have peach schnapps on hand, but a lovely umeshu (Japanese plum wine), think that might work as a swap out?

This reminds me of far too many of my EE courses.
