So many double posts - I think MFP crashed a little bit. If I offended anyone by saying that I don't think diet soda is healthy, then I am very sorry and that was not my intention. The diet soda vs. non diet soda is obviously a very touchy subject to people! I also did not hijack this post, I posted an answer to it and…

You are correct - it is not true. I don't think it makes it harder to lose weight in general. I never said that. I said it makes me bloat! And I saw the question focused on whether or not it was bad for you, and so I was giving an example based off of myself, that yes it was in fact bad for me. :) I think the bigger point…

Thank you for actually posting a response that wasn't based on mockery. And you're right, no one is the same! When someone asks a question, and you respond, you're going to give an opinion based off of your experience. Not everyone else's.

I don't think aspartame is healthy. I don't think phosphoric acid is healthy. I've had doctors tell me diet soda is not healthy. You do think it's healthy. You've probably read something somewhere saying it poses no unhealthy side effects. I have Dr and nurse friends that attribute most kidney stones to both REGULAR and…

I think you hit it right on the head there bub. What makes you think. It's what I THINK. Trust me, I use to drink soda ALL DAY, EVERY DAY! I feel better each day without it, I really do! (It was very hard for me to give it up!) I also stated that treating yourself is fine, I just think it's better to drink water. Water is…

Okay! You're right. I'm wrong! Again - if you'd all like to drink it, that's great! I answered the poster's question. And I'm moving on. Have a great day everyone! :) Also - I like you're username @mathiseasy

Lips!

Watchful!

Nice back!

Insurance broker.

That's great. That's why I also mentioned a treat to yourself with one is fine..

I'm in Tulsa!

Good for you! :)

I have not met one doctor, working with a ton of doctors, who has ever defended diet soda, and said it was good for you. I answered a question. Phosphoric acid causes corrosion. That is a scientific fact, not an opinion. Either way, I gave my answer - I do think it is BAD for you - again, that is wonderful that you all…

Should you have pesticides in your body....? No, you shouldn't. But judging by you're profile, and how you actually tell just about everyone who doesn't agree with you that you won't be friends with them, I won't continue this conversation. Just as a fellow Christian, we're taught to love, not judge and mock others.

Are zero calorie/or diet drinks bad for u? That is the question that was asked. I'm really confused why i'm being persecuted for answering the question the same way everyone else would, with their opinion. She also asked if it made it harder to lose weight, and in my opinion it does. So i'm wrong, because of my opinion?…

And that's absolutely wonderful! But my point is, just because you are fine drinking diet soda, does not mean everyone is. As said previously, diet soda causes an extreme flare up reaction with my fibromyalgia. You cannot go on defending it expecting that just because it doesn't effect you in a certain way, doesn't mean it…

I think what is interesting is that people assume just because they have had no issues drinking diet soda, then no one else will. Every persons body is different, we have different medical issues or lack there of. + Some people DO note weight loss when quitting diet soda, whether it be from quitting the foods that they…

I lost weight because diet soda makes me bloat like no other. I know my own body :)

I think this depends on everyone. Diet soda becomes an addiction, the same as regular soda, or coffee would. Honestly, i'm confused how anyone can think it's 'good' for you, considering it is entirely artificial. By quitting diet soda, I lost weight and reduced the majority of my fibromyalgia symptoms. Most people may not…

Accept!

My aunt took phentermine to lose weight, and it gave her really bad headaches. She lost weight, but now that she is off of it she has gained it back.

I think the thing is that once 'some' people lose the weight, they realize that they could have done it a LONG time ago if they would have just stuck to it (note, I said some, because not everyone is like this!) I am overweight, and I won't lie, I've been lazy about it. I make excuses, and it's a daily struggle to stick to…

The concept of losing weight is actually not too confusing. Starving yourself = no weight loss. Eating a healthy balanced diet, and exercising = weight loss. Please do not starve yourself!

I like veggie chips/sticks when I want something sweet. For some reason, that kicks the craving for me and I only have to eat a few.

My calorie goal is 1300, and I find that i'm rarely hungry. It really depends on what you are eating. Dieting shouldn't make you feel like you're starving. Is there a way you can give us an idea of what you eat daily? This might help everyone to make suggestions, etc. Also, I've always suffered from belly fat out of…

French fries! Almonds or walnuts?

I also have fibromyalgia - and I totally can relate to the person that said sometimes it hurts to wear clothes. Working out has helped to ease the pain, as well as cutting out certain things (that I really shouldn't have been eating in the first place!) Feel free to add me!

I was also diagnosed with Fibromyalgia a little over a year ago. I am constantly dealing with pain depending on my diet and lifestyle, but I have made some changes to try and fix that (one including moving from where I was living.) - Stopped drinking diet soda. I love diet coke! One might say I am addicted. I had to put…

Hm. Never from Zoloft. The only medication that caused me to gain weight (and makes it hard to lose it!) is the Gabapentin I am on.
