Does drinking too much Diet coke make you fat?

Question

Although diet coke or coke Zero have no calories I read somewhere that the chemicals in the drinks can slow weight loss and actually cause you to retain weight? Please clear this up for me??

Answer 1

Does Diet Croak make you fat? Yes it does. It is the chemical sweetener, Aspartame, in it that is the source of the problem

Aspartame is the ONLY food additive to have to, by law, carry a health warning. (contains a source of phenylalanine)

Aspartame is a Nuerotoxin, it attacks the nervous system.

Aspartame contains Methanol, when heated to 86f (body temp is 96f) it converts to Formic Acid and Formaldehyde. Formic Acid is Natures Poison (Ant sting!) and Formaldehyde is a bleaching agent (Embalming Fluid)

Aspartame is an addictive depressent, the more you have, the more misserable you become, the more your body craves for the stuff, so you drink more of it just to quell the cravings. It is a downward spiral!

Aspartame used to be on the list of Chemical Warfare agents, until Donnie Rumsfeld paid for it to be transfered onto the Food Additives List back in 1980.

Aspartame makers, Monsanto, produced a list of 92 side efects associated with aspartame. The list includes Brain tumours, Migraines, Hearing Problems, Eyesight Problems, Behavioural Problems, Breathing Problems, Headaches, Obesety, Vertigo and Death.

Is it just a 'coincidence' nut since its widespread introduction in the UK in 1995, there has been a marked increase in Truancy, Asthma, Eczema, Road Rage, Depression infact, everything on the list supplied by the FDA (Food and Drugs Administration of the USA).

Formaldehyde, when the Aspartame has broken down, attaches to fat cells making it nigh on impossible for the body to burn off the fat naturally, so what with feeling lousy anyway, the exercising doesn't work.

I believe it is directly linked and that Aspartame should be totally withdrawn from the Human Food chain.

Did I mention Birth Defects, Diverticulitis and Cancer? No, well consider it mentioned.

That said, anyone stupid enough to ignore warnings or advice needs their head looking at. There are plenty of Independently researched sites on the internet. All the government paid sites want to protect their interests so they reckon it is safe and Snopes are totally wrong on this subject, before anyone thinks of quoting them.

I drink quite a bit of diet coke and it's not the cals or fat you have to worry about but all the other awful ingredients! Even diet coke is bad for your teeth, when I had a brace my dentist told me to avoid fizzy drinks because the stuff that makes them fizzy and rot your teeth, even if they are diet drinks.

I try and have just one can a day now, but it's not caffeine free!

Answer 5

Used to there was this belief that eating sugar substitutes slowed weight loss - however, a new study came out about a month ago that said that people who eat foods containing aspertame & such DO lose more weight than their counterparts.
However, there's caffeine in Diet Coke - and that definitely hinders weight loss a little bit. I'd limit your intake to about 24 oz a day and you should still be able to lose weight.

If you want to eat truly healthy, lose body fat consistently, normalize your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, prevent cancer, and even boost your brain health and energy levels, you may have heard all over the news that the Paleo Diet has been found to be one of the best methods of achieving all of these benefits compared to any other popular "fad" diets out there. Go here https://tinyurl.im/aHLtL

The truth is that the Paleo Diet will never be considered a fad because it's just simply the way that humans evolved to eat over approximately 2 million years. And eating in a similar fashion to our ancestors has been proven time and time again to offer amazing health benefits, including prevention of most diseases of civilization such as cancer, heart disease, alzheimers, and other chronic conditions that are mostly caused by poor diet and lifestyle. One of the biggest misunderstandings about the Paleo Diet is that it's a meat-eating diet, or a super low-carb diet. This is not true

Answer 7

Too much of anything like that can make you fat, if you are on a diet i suggest cutting down all sugar drinks. I hope i could help.

Answer 8

Sodas can pack on the sodium. Drink water.
These diet drinks do not always have zero calories. Most things that are labeled as fat free do not have zero fat either.
FDA just makes it so they do not have to put the calories on there since it is low.
Diet Cherry Coke - 1 calorie
Diet Caffeine Free Coke - 2 calories
Diet Sprite - 4 calories
Diet Root Beer - 1 calories

Answer 9

I wondered the same thing and my best friend, a nurse, asked people at her work.

One said, the artifical sweetners cause a glucose spike (similar to eating carbs) that make you crave more and therefore you continue to eat more carbs/sugars in addition to the diet soda.

I recenly switched to coke zero and pepsi one just to eliminate the calories and I have started to lose weight.

Answer 11

I've read somewhere that the effect is not on the chemical stuff in the diet drink. People who drink diet sodas tends to exercise less (thinking that they didnt consume calories anyway) than those who drink the regular stuff, thus diet drinkers dont loss weight fast and if you dont exercise it slows down metabolism.
