to diet soda or not to diet soda?
just curious...I been having this arguement with my mother...lol...she thinks cuz the label has a bunch of zeros on it that diet soda is just fine. I believe it isnt but I cant fight my case. I really need to help her lose weight.... any facts I can use to explain to her that the soda isnt good.... or am I just wrong?

If she is drinking it all the time its obviously taking away from the amount of water she needs to be getting everyday. If I do drink a diet soda (which is probably 2 or 3 a week) I make sure to up my water intake. Some people will say diet soda is bad for you because of Aspartame but the studies that I have came accross contradict eachother so I don't know the truth about that (do a google search for "aspartame").

I drink it all the time while dieting.
Helps to curb cravings and is a life saver in that regard.

I drink probably 2 a day and during cutting more than that... I do make sure to get my water in. They're fine as far as I can tell.

Some research is showing that aspartame will lead to weight gain over time. I tend to believe thats true. Not to mention the water retention.

I am going to have to agree with your mom. Other than its a little high in sodium its a great drink of choice in my opinion

does aspartame make you retain water? I guess Diet Rite, which I've recently started trying is made with Splenda which ain't too shabby

Even though the atkins diet is crap in my book the dead ole dr did make a few good points. He mentioned how the false sweeteners had an effect on how the body burned calories. It can actually lead to weight gain as noted in this study done released a few hours ago.,

I don't see how diet soda causes water retention... there is .0something sodium and no other calories... correct me if I'm wrong, but there seems to be no room for water retention in diet soda... if this stands true, I would be one bloated MF'er.
