Diet Coke and cutting?

[Ripped2Shredds]

Point blank. Diet soda may cause a bloat feeling. However, it will not add weight. Zero Calories. Your body cannot absorb the sugar content in "Splenda" which is what Coke Zero uses. Chemist's altered sugar's genetic make up by adding another CHO- molecule to the end of the strand of sugar, so your body passes it through much like fiber. So, drinking diet coke will not ULTIMATELY cause you to gain weight.

BUT!!!

Your brain feels the wannabe sugar and thinks it needs more, sometimes causing people with low self control tend to eat fattening and sugary foods.

Solution:

Drink moderate amounts of diet soda, and eat your healthy food.

doesn't that aspartame convert to insulin which converts to hidden carbs and thus gets shuttled as normal calories? Dr Atkins talks about it in his book. i forget the actual details, but it's not quite 0 calories as people think.

The sodium content in cola could cause water retention. I had a diet pepsi fetish but once I gave it up, the pounds melted off me! It is ok every now and then, but don't make it a daily habit. Try adding some crystal light to your water.

There's a couple different schools of thought on that...

Bottom line it is 0 calories.

But, it is not a source of water. You still need to get your water in for the day.

A recent study, which I am unable to cite, showed that diet coke drinkers actually gained more weight over a period of time than regular coke drinkers. Apparently, diet soda actually increases your appetite.

Maybe it's just that fat asses tend to always drink diet soda along with their cheeseburger deluxe and cheese fries. Who knows.

I don't think there's anything wrong with a couple cans a week at all, I think you're gonna see sub-optimal results if you make it your regular beverage of choice, or even do a can a day. It's putting a lot of junk into your body.

But as a treat when u need to kill a craving, go for it. I'm a diet mountain dew guy myself. hehe.

I agree with the fattys eating lard with the diet coke.
Also, all the bodybuilders, including this years mr.o Jay C drink that shit all the time.

that is interesting because when i drink things like that i do crave products with sugar.
i tend to avoid any soda.
i also avoid anything that is carbonated. i have been told carbonation slows fat loss.

In your prior life, did you drink allot of soda???

it's a habit.. if doing the keto diet it helps allot..

being a body builder they don't put anything in that will hurt them..

with that said...

There are numerous studies that prove ZERO insulin spikes with atificial sweetners...And if you want to proove it to your self, drink a liter of coke one day, and a liter of diet coke the next, the regular coke will make you puke, several blind studies prove the theory that artificial sweetners cause insulin activity is false
