Diet Coke or Coke Zero?

I've heard mixed opinions on this subject. I've heard things like drinking it will cause your to expect a sugary high without the sugar so you will most likely find something to eat to substitute that lack of sugar. I've heard that it has no affect on weight gain and a lot of people drink without feeling the urge to overeat or something.

I don't know if there are any scientific facts that say that diet carbonated drinks cause weight gain. Don't think there is any solid evidence about it. Pretty sure there will be a ton of people with mixed opinions soon, if I were you, if you are drinking these drinks and still drink plenty of water, eat healthy foods and you are still losing weight, then carry on with it.

Try doing a little research on the ingredients they put in these drinks and maybe you will come up with a few facts about what these drinks can actually do to your body?

I've heard a lot of things about how diet coke actually isn't good for you, due to bad ingredients and something to do with it actually making you store more fat, and how it's actually better for you to drink full fat coke than diet coke. I was wondering if coke zero is the same, or whether that's actually healthier than diet coke?

Thanks!

Weird. I don't think I've ever heard of full fat coke.


I prefer the taste of coke zero. Diet coke tastes like the syrup ran out at a fast food joint.

they both have aspartame, therefore don't drink either! you're just poisoning yourself!!!!!!!!!!!!!
drink a healthy glass of green tea instead!

there have been 875,436 threads dedicated to debunking the aspartame nonsense, so it's pointless to rehash.

as for diet or coke zero, my preference is coke zero. however, since i cut caffeine, i generally drink caffeine free diet.

^^^LOL I don't care. Critters have gotten cancer from aspartame. Besides, regular Coca Cola tastes the BEST!

I don't think either one is very good for you, but that's just my opinion. I'd rather drink no-cal flavored water, but occasionally I do enjoy a diet soda or two.

I'll always choose Diet Pepsi if given the choice BUT when stuck drinking a Coke product, Coke Zero tastes pretty darn good and is the only Coke I'll drink.

I think that as long as you consume reasonable amounts of diet soda, then it won't be dangerous. I drink 1 cup of Pepsi Max / Diet Pepsi a week on average, and don't spend much time worrying about chemicals in it.

This nutritionist from the Mayo Clinic even says you can drink a can or two a day (!), and not worry about side effects. I don't understand how anyone can drink that much though...

i don't know about what is in them...but i like coke zero better!

i don't like either. Its been shown that artificial sweetener like Aspartame causes cancer in large enough doses. I would rather have fat that i can work off then a cancer that is out of my control. Now, to have one or the other as a treat either would be fine, it comes down to personal preference.

Neither diet soda is a health food but only you can decide if they hinder you. I haven't found that to be the case for myself and I'd recommend Coke Zero, I think it tastes better. :drinker:

I used to drink Diet Pepsi all the time and I constantly got these terrible headaches. I went to the doctor about my headaches and she asked me if I drank diet soda. I told her I did and she told me I was probably allergic to the diuretics that were put in diet sodas. I quit drinking diet drinks all together and the headaches went away. Every now and then, I will drink a regular Coke or Pepsi, but I don't drink them all the time since they have way too much sugar content. If I've had a good week with my weight loss and working out, then I will treat myself to a Coke or Pepsi. Or, I will have some frozen yogurt at Cherry Berry! YUM!!

I drink Diet Coke because I prefer the taste.

(yes, I'm weird)

Coke Zero hands down
