Regular Pepsi vs. Diet Pepsi

I know that Pepsi has about 150 calories a glass, but diet pepsi says it has 0 calories. Now im not asking about the debate of whether or not diet is better for you, because it isnt! Im asking .. if you are addicted to pepsi, is diet a better alternative if you are only worried about its effects on losing weight? Diet pepsi also says sugar free but is there like another ingredient that really can make you just as fat as regular?? I have tried all diffrent kinds of drinks and trust me, they dont work! I like the cold crunchy taste of diet pop now and im wondering if its doing any good switching from regualr to diet.
Thanks

ok...we are all worried about our weight one way or another....but as you said...if diet has no sugar...but can still make you gain weight..why should u be so worried? both are practically the same right? except the taste to me...id rather go with regular...which we also have our own opinions too.

Look both choices are non-nutritional, no value to your good health, Reg. pepsi has 27g carb, 10 g potassium, 27 g sugar, and 25 g of caffine, diet has 20 g potassium, 25 g sodium and 24 g of caffine, There's alot better choices, including just drinking water and placing some fruit in it, with lots of chipped ice. Why drink something with so much sodium, and caffine?

blondieinCAN disagrees: In my post i never asked about health!! Im asking only about the fact of it making you fat!! u are saying sodium and caffiene make us fat?

Your amount of fat is directly correlated to your health. Losing weight has very little to do with the diet drink you choose and more with being active and eating correct meals.

I do think that pepsi can very much make u gain weight over time!! If u are a pop drinker u drink a lot!! so i answered my own question! 150 calories a glass of regular for an addicted caffiene drinker IS worse than diet at 0 calories.. or even coffee with no sugar is better!! This is about weight loss NOT health!!
