Diet cola while cutting ???

Only has 2kcal per 30ml. Will the artificial sweeteners be detrimental to your results?

i'm sure alot of ppl will tell you not to warry about it, you should be fine

Read the incredient label.

Obiously sugar is not wanted and that is usually the calorie base.

However ... How is the salt level? There can be lots of hidden salts behind the
scientific name mumbo-jumbo. Salts hold water and lead to increased bp.

I was a diet pop junkie and got off them.

personally I think diet cola has lots of sodium which makes you retain water

for me during cutting, diet cola is a no no.

I didn't cut diet pop tell 10 days before my comp. Yes it cause you to hold some water but nothing that can't de dropped with in a few days with correct manipulation.

A diet coke has 50mg of sodium... that's nothing to worry about, unless you're competing.

Don't worry about the sweeteners in diet coke, worry about your teeth and your esophagus.

You should worry about the sweeteners they put into diet products. Like diet pop. Aspartamine or whatever you call it is very bad for your health. THere is an article about it on one of the forums. There are even warnining labels on products containing the ingeridient.

There is absolutely no proof that aspartame will have harmful effects in the doses it is normally consumed at. True, certain people don't seem to react well to it, but all of those websites bashing it have no evidence at all behind their arguments.

Ta for all your input guys and gals. Holding water is not going to fuss me to be honest. I ask this because anything that tastes too good on a cutting diet I find is no good.

I'm not even touching dilluted ribena at the mo even though values state there is no sugar. Its 'no added sugar' but 9 times out of 10 this does'nt include the sugar that is actually added to start with.

Gee I love diets!!!!

K is on its way!!!!

As long as your getting your daily amount of water in, 1 gallon or plus, then a couple of diet sodas are fine, I never noticed them make any type of difference.
