Question about diet pop/soda

[Kfamr]

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!

Thank you for the replies!! I'll quit drinking pop then. Hopefully I'll have better results!

I've been trying to stop drinking coke.. I've failed badly.. I think I'm addicted but another thing to try is sparkling water I find that fights off the urge of a fizzy drink and I think its a bit more healthier

At my Weight Watcher meetings, they always talk about how bad diet soda is for you. Just because it's diet, doesn't mean it's good. They always recommend that we drink water. If you don't like water, try the Crystal Light mixes. They even come in little tubes to conveniently mix with a bottle of water in a minute or two I think they taste pretty good. They have some great flavors.

Unfortunately: I have a big problem with Diet Mountain Dew and I'm trying to curb it with the Crystal Light.
