Atkins use to believe that consuming aspartame was conterproductive in weight loss. The thought was that it knocked some people out of ketosis, which is the fat burning stage when doing atkins or CKD. I lost 20 pounds and drank tons of diet soda and water. Maybe I could have lost 30, who knows....
My theory if you are doig CKD or atkins, drink some diet soda, then test yourself. If you are not doing a ketogenic diet and if drinking a diet coke will help, then go for it.
Also the diet board generally recommends diet dr. pepper. THe reason is because it does not have the citric acid(pretty sure, that's it) which may also knock you out of ketosis.
Hope this helps! Good luck.

I drink copiuos amount of the stuff...usualy diet vanilla coke....I mean I drink a LOT of it, along with my 2 gallons of water daily. It's nothing for me to drink a 2L bottle of diet soda every day. Hasn't slowed down my fat loss at all. Went from about 20% to about 7% in 4 months.
Oh, if you guys (and gals) didn't know....7-11 has Diet Pepsi Slurpee's....I get one at least once a day (the 40oz one
)

)Thankx gals! Yeah, I love the crystal lite slurpee at my 7-11. I used to fill my Super Big Gulp cup with the pineapple-orange flavor and it would only cost me $.79! But then I realized that, although sugar-free, it isn't calorie-free. All that maltodextrin adds up!
I will have to try Diet dr. pepper though. I didn't know that citric acid is also a hindrance to ketosis.

Diet soda is the bomb. No it will not reduce insulin sensitivity. Nor will it impede fat loss. However, I would stop drinking it 4 or 4 days prior to a show or photo shoot, as it may cause a slight increase in subcontanious water in some people.
