Are diet cokes okay for diets?

[Anonymous]

When I went to the doctor, we were discussing a diet. He asked what I normally drink, and I said diet dr peppers, etc. Only diet soda. He said that was fine and he wasn't worried about that.

If the doctor says that, then why does everyone cut out diet sodas on a diet?

check the label. if you see sugar or high fructose corn syrup in it then no.

check out this before and after of a man who drank 10 cokes a day for a month.

the reason you gain weight from soda is the sugar and high fructose corn syrup causes a spike in your insulin which then just transports that sugar into the fat cells.

I would strongly recommend you drink water and green teas. Avoid diet drinks. Just because it says "DIET" doesn't mean it is good for you. IN fact there are many studies that say that diet drinks spike insulin levels like regular drinks... so you are not getting much benefit at all.

It's been proven that the acid in diet sodas burn your organs. So I'd pass on them even if your on a diet. If you want some soda, but on rare occasions.

No, diet cokes are full of artificial sugars. Try mixing together seltzer water & juice.

Diet sodas (just like regular sodas) are full of chemicals that are just downright terrible for you.

I'd stick to water, coffee with little additives or juice with ice.

Doctors don't do enough (in my opinion) to educate their patients on healthy diets.

Well you get a shitload of salt from em, and a lot of people worry about some chemicals in them.
Water is the best liquid ever, but you'll probably be fine.

Quit drinking soda all together. Diet and non-diet sodas are bad for you. Replace them with water or healthy drinks. It's easy.

Diet sodas are still full of sodium and sugar.
If you're serious about your diet, I'd avoid them.

No, it tricks your body into thinking it's real sugar

[fun-weird-guy]

It has aspertame in it.
