Diet Soda?

Author Message Hillary T. Yahoo User Posted: Sat Apr 26, 2008 11:27 pm    Post subject: Diet Soda? So since its 0 calories like water...is it just as healthy?I'm just confused basically i guess. I've heard that ppl gain more weight because they are subject to eat more, since the label says 0 calories.But that's not really what i'm trying to ask. I guess I want to know how its 0 calories? Can you drink it and still lose weight with a fitness program, and nutritional eating plan? or is it best to cut all soda out your diet in the first place because soda is soda? - - not one of the healthiest things anyway...Is it better than other sugary drinks, such as kool-aid, or just normal non-diet soda?Is brands such as Diet Cola and like Sprite Zero, different? is Sprite Zero better thn the Diet Coke?or is it just a play on words?ANY information or opinions would be nice and appreciated.

The weight watchers program allows only diet pop along with water and juice. So YES drink it:) Maybe just not tons of it....

Better just to drink water, or at least ot keep it as natural as possible.

Instead they use aspartame to sweeten it. Aspartame long term has ben linked to cancer.So in terms of calories diets are better but in terms of health its better to have the actual coke or sprite than a diet version.Best advice stick to water! Back to top Nutritionist Yahoo User Posted: Sat Apr 26, 2008 11:37 pm    Post subject: soda is soda and it may be advertised as calorie free but its not entirely sugar free. It also spikes the glucose level which gives you and instant high and then a really fast crash.Tea with a bit of honey, or water, try to avoid fruit juices as they are high in added sugar as well; unless you buy the unsweetened kind.Better yet, read the label on the drink that you are going to buy, are they more chemicals or "oil" than actual juice?

I can recommend one to you and I will posta link to my blog where I talk about issues like these at the bottom.Think of it like this... if you follow the instructions on the blog weight loss and dieting should only take one attempt. Why go through frustrating struggles and risk injury when you can do it the right way.When I purchased this it actually got me off the couch and got me to work out, because I did NOT want my money going to waste. I hope you will have the same results that I did. http://fatloss4now.blogspot.com/good luck-don Back to top Dj Yahoo User Posted: Sat Apr 26, 2008 11:47 pm    Post subject: I can answer only a tiny portion of your question. My suggestion is that you stay way from sodas (actually any foods) that contain ASPARTAME as a sweetening agent. Just type in aspartame into a search and do some reading. There are concerns about cancer, headaches, etc. Aspartame is a neurotoxin. All I ever drank was diet soda and developed strange pain symptoms in my limbs, so bad that that at times all I could do was lie in bed and cry. Once I gave it up the symptoms eventually cleared. Fortunately what happened to me was not as common a reaction as others get, but lots of people have disabling reactions. I also believe the new research about weight gain. Back to top
