Hello, Iam Writing To You Because Iam One Of Those People That Have Been Trying To Lose Some Pounds.. I Have Been Cutting Off The Sweets, Fatting And Anything Else That Gains Weight..i Also Have Been Doing Exercise..my Only Question Is If Diet Coke Gains Weight Even Though If Its Diet ???.. My Parents Tell Me To Avoid All Types Of Cokes When In A Diet But Iam Soo Addicted To Coke That Its Kinda Hard..please Help Me Out..thanx
Both my doctor and the dietician he sent me to said NO to diet soft drinks. I am to drink more water, I can flavor the water with lemon juice. Crystal Light is a product I can use, but not in excess. Also flavored sport drinks are off limits.
Just because it says diet coke, does not mean that it is good for a diet. There are sugars, diet sugars that are in coke that can cause cancer. Coke, any type of coke is not good for you. You need to cut it out completely or you will not lose wieght, and your not going to get any healthier.

P.S.
Water is a beautiful gift. Water is free. We are made up of 90 percent of water. So how should we replenish our body, is with water. Oh, by the way. One thing you can do is increase your water intake and that will help you lose wieght.
Diet Coke/Pepsi have about 1 calorie. This isn't bad, BUT they use artifical sweeteners & these coz a insulin variance in the body & you end up feeling hungry after a while.
Also,the indgredients used is known to cause cancer.
A regular 12 oz cola has roughly 140 calories, if you only drink 5 per week thats 720 calories per week, but it's 37,440 calories per year, which equals 10.7 pound of weight! One cup of cola contains roughly 9 teaspoons of sugar, add that up with the sugar in the foods you eat throughout the day and this is a big nono if your trying to lose weight! FDA regulations allow any food product that contains fewer than 5 calories per serving to be advertised as calorie free. So even if it says "zero" calories some ingredients such as artificial sweetners, citric acid, carmel colorings, and especially HIGH FRUTOSE CORN SYRUP, do have some caloric content. It is very hard to get off the colas, but they are so bad for your health, your teeth and even your bones that in thge long run your doing your whole body a big favor! Water is the hardest thing to get use to but theres lots of flavored waters out there now, I'm addicited to ice ice cold cubed rich glasses of wate. Water help you rehydrated your body, organs, does great things to your skin and truly has NO Calories. Just give it a go,
diet soda is one of the most detrimental substances you can put in your body. as said above, the artificial sweeteners are carcinogenic. the "sugars" are not recognized by the body, so when you ingest them, the body reacts by increasing its white blood cell count and storing it in the liver and other fatty pockets where this foreign invader cannot cause immediate harm to any of the organs. it's best to limit your fluid intake to fresh juices (primarily green juices), water, and herbal (non-caffinated) tea.
I am addicted to Pepsi over 40 years now. I have been slowly switching to a healthy diet and the more I do the easier it is to cut down on the Pepsi. I have made some major changes in the past two months and cut down 12 more ounces. In the past year I made some little changes and cut down 12 ounces with those changes.
The healthier my diet gets the less of it I crave. I was drinking 64 ounces a year and a half ago and am now down to 12 ounces.
One thing I did was finally put my mind to drinking water, which I hate.
For now, until I can get out more to find better water, I bought a big container of spring water and put it in the fridge and I have been drinking it more. You can also squeeze fresh fruit into the water too.
Also switch from table salt to sea salt or celtic salt or himalayan salt that really helped my
taste buds change.
Diet soda does actually add weight because it has a reverse effect.
I never drank diet and when I did give up my Pepsi to lose weight a couple times it was only about a 5 to 8 pound difference. But still best to get over anyway.
There is nothing wrong with aspartame or diet pop. You will have to literally drink liters of diet pop per day to even come close to risking cancer. Don't read the regular newspapers for news regarding science and health. Read actual medical journals for real research. Everything causes harmful effects if consumed in excess. You can get sick from eating too much cabbage and lettuce, like anything else.
Drink diet pop to your heart's content. As long as you don't exceed 4-5 cans I day there will be no problems.
Water will work too, of course, if you're thirsty. However, if you're trying to diet, the least you can do is treat yourself to something sweet that contains zero calories.
