Question about diet pop/soda

[dab_20]

I was wondering, can diet pop make it harder to lose weight? I've quit drinking regular pop but wondering if I should quit drinking pop all together. (which will be hard! lol) Just wondering your opinions.

YES! Quit drinking it all together. The fake sugars actually just tricks your body instead of doing any good.

The best thing to do is drink water.

I think I remember reading somewhere that diet coke actually contains more glucose than regular coke, it just has less sugar in general. Not entirely sure if that's correct but I think it is The glucose is the stuff that makes you pile on the pounds, when it isn't needed, it's stored in the body as starch. The more you drink, the more starch builds up in the fat reserves. It can be broken down but the more starch you have the longer it takes. Try drinking mineral water or orange juice when you want a coke, you feel so much more clear-headed and refreshed after having a drink like that

Don't they put aspartame in diet soda? That stuff is really bad for you. That is an artificial sweetner that they put in everything that doesn't have sugar in it. Yuck! They are right water makes you feel more energized than sugar and soda!
