there is way too many carbs in soda to be drinking during a cutting phase unless you have an ultra fast metabolism drink diet. | ||

I believe what your talking about is the article in RK's M Mag about the diuretic effects of Diet coke when drank by the truckload. According to the article the big boys have used it with much sucess, but again they were drinking cases a day!.....I'll pass. ------------------ GO NAVY! | ||

Not only does it have to many carbs in it, but I read somewhere that the carbonation in soda can actually cause your body to hold more water, and lose more definition. | ||

Assuming you aren't a complete idiot, you are talking about DIET soda...It would be OK to drink one every now and then, but it won't really help your cause. Caffeine is a diuretic, meaning it helps rid the body of water by making you piss a lot, which obviously does not help you stay hydrated and lose bodyfat. ------------------ (The bro formerly known as ajc1977) Visit my website at http://profiles.elitefitness.com | ||

Yeah bro, pop is full of sugar. If your body doesn't use those carbs(sugar) as energy, then it can easily get converted into bodyfat. WHile your cutting, your going to cut your carbs down real low and up your protein so consuming lots of extra carbs (sugar) in pop would be counterproductive, and would surely not get you cut up (unless you have a kickass metabolism). | ||

a can of coke has 140 calories and 39 carbs, and this in my book is already close to half the carbs of your daily load for a cutting cycle. | ||

I used to drink, 4 to 6 "popz" a day. Over the past year I quit. Hell I have problems drinking beer now. When you finally stop drinking anything but water, you will feel ill after u drink "popz." Simple because it is bad for you.

shit i guess if you like DIEING for a can of pop drink is just make sure its diet. But as for using it through out the diet no. what i like to drink throuh a diet is tea i have flavoured tea, sweetend with that sugar-free shit. its good i like it, but also i only drink like a cup of that every 2 days. the rest of the time nice cold crisp water. | ||

I think we are forgetting about some things in soda, it contains phosphoric acid, citric acid, sodium benzoate (preservative) and above all else it is carbonated with Co2. All that trapped gas in the soda has to go somewhere and it usually bloats the hell out of your stomach before passing gas whether orally or not. Not to mention the chemical ingredients do not look all that appetizing. With all the preservatives in foods now, I should last a million years. Soda diet or other wise is not good for cutting period. chesty ------------------ Ooooh Rahhh! | ||

Dread Lord Good Guy is on this thread, too? Get lost, Adolph! Don't worry, Adolph, I'm going to throw an insult your way every fucking time I see your handle, so don't bother responding, just go fuck yourself. (Any bros here don't know what I'm talking about, check out two threads that have been moved to the chat board, one with this guy's name in the title, the other by his mentally challenged little sidekick.) Anyway, aky: Beefmaster is giving you the good read here. You're talking diet coke, no calories, heavy on the caffeine. It's the caffeine in it that helps you cut, but that's nothing you couldn't do with ECA or any other fat loss supplement. Some research is beginning to show that the nutrasweet in diet soda does bad things to your mental status, so you may want to skip this, at least at the volumes of soda (e.g., case/day) some of the pros are using.

Stay away from diet soda period. That sh*ts no good for you. If your trying to lean out just stick to distilled water. If your like me and retain to much water sometimes, try popping a couple of dandelion root 8 to 12 hours before you would like to shed the water. Usually 3 capsules 3 times a day. |
