Can you drink as much diet soda as you want?

Question

I mean it has no calories or sugar in it...

those of us dieiting, can we just indulge ourselves?

Answer 1

i drink a lot of diet sodas.......hardly touch water at all unless i run out of sodas. been doing this for years and years and years even before there were diet drinks. i used to drink Tab which was the first diet drink. anyway, i am 55 yrs old., i have low blood pressure, low blood sugar, in perfect health and weight. so, you tell me......

by the way, never caused me any diarhea..... the fact is i am always constipated (lol)

and like he said before me......Long Live Dr. Pepper (ancestor of mine)

Answer 2

Water is the best no doubt. I LOVE my diet soda!! 20 some years ago I switched to diet soda due to the calorie intake (150 calories vs. 0). Takes time to adjust to the different taste but once you have regular soda will never be the same! I love indulging myself!

Answer 3

Somewhat, but there's a catch. Caffeine. The thing is, a quick way to losing weight is to keep a very stable blood sugar level. In fact, unstable blood sugar levels are just a fast track to fatness, to put it bluntly.

Seldom known fact is that caffeine will cause unstable blood sugar levels, even without any sugar involved. So while just counting calories, and what not, diet pop isn't going to do much harm, it will somewhat hindur your ability to lose weight in the long run.

Answer 4

True there's no calories, buuut the problem you may end up with is diarrhea. Too much artificial sweetener can mess up a stomach.

As with anything unhealthy, try to limit your intake. Water has zero calories and health benefits, so give that a whirl along with your diet sodas.

Long live Diet Dr. Pepper....the only diet drink I love.

Answer 5

nope- you do not want that amount of phosphorus in your system - it destroys bones

forget the sugar -

try this experiment - take a nail on a string - place half in your small glass of soda - check it in three hours - 6 hours

then throw the soda away when you see what it has done to a nail - and you want that in your body?

Answer 6

The only drink with no calories and no sugar in it that you can or should drink a lot of is WATER.

Answer 7

NO!!! I have just read Dr. Mercola's book, "Sweet Deceptions" and it tells how horrible diet sugar is for you, how it raises your insulin and tons of other health problems. Check out his website.

Answer 8

Did you know that Aspartaime (artificial sugar) is used in hospitals as a laxative?

I wouldn't drink too much if I were you.
