I am on a diet and besides drinking one liter of water a day I also drink a diet soda here and there. Is this bad for my dieting or will it not affect me? Please help.

Carbonated water can help you retain fluids in your body and irritate your bladder. I'd stay away from them if I were you.

There are some studies which suggest artificial sweeteners can actually increase your appetite and slow down your metabolism. I stay away from all diet products, especially if you are on a diet. Sounds backwards, I know, but stick with water or tea sweetened with cane sugar or regular sugar (Not high fructose corn syrup!).

ya.. diet soda is nothing but carbonated water. Your tummy is gonna be empty most of the time n any kind of soda is going to cause acidity and you may end with tummy ulcers.
Ulcers cause severe pain, heartburn and they dnt go away quickly..
inshort:: Diet Soda is BAAAAD.

yes
you are ingesting:
carbon dioxide (won't that kill you?)
and tons of artificial everything
NutraSweet is a neurotoxin when heated (I don't think those trucks are refrigerated, they look like big easy bake ovens to me)
Caffeine robs your bones of calcium
Some orange and red sodas contain Ester of Wood Rosin (eew)
Acid can destroy your tooth enamel
Caramel color stains your teeth
You are much better off sipping on a fruit juice or better yet water.

Here and there its okay. Obviously soda is empty calories, but if its only one here and there, its not a big deal.
