"Fizzy" drinks?

[n2ojones]

I'm always hearing "stay away from ALL fizzy drinks when cutting/dieting". Does this actually include the only "fizzy drink" I consume> Soda water?

I'm referring to the likes of Calistoga and Perrier. Can this stuff really interfere with your cutting?

Diet Mountain dew is MANDATORY when cutting.. IMO lol i cant do it w/o it!

Question is...are you prone to water retention??? Cuz I'm NOT!

[n2ojones]

No...Don't think I retain alot..I drink alot/piss alot. Is that the theory behind "fizzy' drinks...they are easily retained?

I assumed they were taboo because most fizzy drinks have calories or spooky sweeteners. Not sure, but I can't imagine soda water creating problems.

I did drink them but I have cut artificial sweeteners from diet. It has made a huge difference. I feel more energetic and happy and most importantly my stomach is no longer upset. I used to have regular bouts of cramp and bloating but now i do not and my toilet habits are more regular. My digestion is much better.
I love the taste of diet drinks but not the after effects.
I now have herbal teas sweetened with Stevia.
