    Question Diet coke causes water retention??

    I am on very strict diet because of the comp. on 18th of this month.
    But last night I had 1.5l of diet coke after 1 hr cardio.
    Then this morning my body seems to me swollen up, especially legs.
    Is that due to diet coke?
    Does somebody have a clue?
    ( I dont ususlly drink any soda.)

    high sodium? there's like 2% dv in a 12 oz can. when i drink caffeinated beverages such as diet coke, diet dew, diet anything....my abs come out of the wood works like no other. i dont think its the diet coke bro, unless it was real coca cola loaded with sugars...

    Just come back from 10k run.
    My legs are still swollen up.

    Yes, I had 1.5L of diet coke.
    I was so thursty.

    BTW I am not taking any juice right now.

    My diet does not contain much sodium.

    Do you think I may have kidney or heart problem?
    I finished last cycle about 2 wks ago.
    And I did not have any noticiable sides during that time.

    Any input wold be appriciated.

    Thanks.
