Yes diet doesn’t have sugar or calories so it won’t make you gain weight, BUT!! Despite the opinion of some, it’s full of CHEMICALS!!! So if you just want to be slim, it’s ok but if you want to be healthy, I would strongly avoid it..! Water, coffee, milk and green tea is all I drink. (Green tea is great for burning fat)33

Water is a chemical. (And typically contains a bunch of other chemicals.)6

I usually start my day with 2 large cups of water with lemon and drink so much water during the day that I don’t have any cravings for any soda, diet or not.1

I drink spArkling ice and diet soda daily along with water with water enhancer and black coffee. I drink 0 cal beverages all day. No effect at all on weight loss.2

Diet sodas don't have macros...they don't have calories. Something with zero calories cannot stop weight loss.2 -

Water and lemon - so that's 2 large cups of chemicals plus acid.

I don't think anyone said they had cravings FOR soda -more that soda brought on cravings for other foods.
Me personally it has no such effect.
I drink plenty of water too - nearly every day ( without lemon for me, just plain water)
But sometimes I also like other drinks, including sometimes sodas. and since I am trying to work within a calorie allowance, I choose diet version.1 -

The dreaded "chemakillz" in diet soda are one ingredient, aspartame. Aspartame is a methyl dipeptide, meaning it is two amino acids (protein) bound by a methyl connector (methanol, an alcohol occurring naturally in fruits and vegetables). Upon entering your digestive system, the aspartame separates into it's component parts, meaning the chemicals you drank were two amino acids (protein) and methanol.
It's as poisonous as a spoonful of chili.12 -
