Question

Does drinking diet pop make yout body store fat? I am pretty healthy except i drink like 10 cans of diet pop a day 0_O I want to lose some weight, does the diet pop make my body store fat?

Answer 1

there is some evidence out there that drinking diet soda doesn't trigger the mechanism in the brain that tells the body it's had enough sugar like would happen if you drank a regular soda. because of this, diet soda drinkers tend to consume more calories elsewhere which can lead to weight gain or maintenance of the weight. aside from that, diet soda is horrible for you. loaded with cancer causing chemicals. go for regular soda or sparking water or something.

Answer 2

You sound like an advertisement. Yes, as a matter of fact you do store fat. The body has to in order to function properly. Diet Pop only lessens the amount of fat stored in the tissues. If you want to lose weight, try to lose some diet pop! And drink more H20! It's almost free, its fat free!

Answer 3

It will not only make you fatter but also damage your teeth and health! Any pop is bad for you, especially if you drink 10 cans a day! If you need to caffeine in the soda better drink green tea---it has lots of antioxidants and is healthy for your body! I drink it with half and half w/out sugar. It takes a while to get used to the taste but after a while its delicious! But remember - once you start with caffeine its really hard to stop!

Good Luck!

Answer 4

It depends if the diet pop has caffeine in it. Caffeine cause adrenaline release and to compensate for that your body will release insulin which can cause your body to store fat. I think 10 cans of even diet pop isnt good, switch to water and that will help you to lose weight, you will see a difference.

Answer 5

you will store some fat from diet pop, but not enough to notice, but what i would be concerned with is the fact that pop in general is so acidic that it would take 12 glasses of water just to get your bodies ph back to normal from 1 can of pop. now when your body gets acidic it sets up a medium for many diseases. it's a known fact that healthly people have alkalinic ph's. cut your pop drinking in 1/2 and replace it with water. you'll thank me later.

Answer 6

I'd have more concerns about the chemicals in diet pop. There is some discussion that the artifical sugar changes to a poison when exposed to heat (like the heat of your body while it is your stomach).

Drink more natural drinks.

Answer 7

yes indeed!! This is why the King does not drink carbonated/acid sodas. Only water, juices and Kool-Aid.
