    diet coke

    One of my weaknesses is diet coke, no sugar but aspartame the sweetener, this is one of my only cheats, but I do have it during the week, everything ells in my diet is ok, apart from weekends, is this much of a problem,

    diet soda is fine unless you are dieting for a show or a photo shoot.

    No calories. 1gm carb. Low sodium. I wouldn't worry about it.

    I drink diet soda all the time no matter what the time of season.

    It's DIET, it's not going to do anything to you.

    Diet 7UP is my favorite. It keeps me somewhat sane while cutting.

    aspartame rox and besides there is like 4x more aspartame in a tomatoe than in a diet soda. but aspartame is a precursor for L-Tyrosine which is a beast amino acid
    i just wouldnt drink it w/ a meal i read somewhere that carbonation can mess w/ protein synthesis.
    ASPARTAME IS GOOD its an amino that YOU NEED.

    yeah ok so bascially if u eat tomatoe products.. u get high quantity of aspartame... so if ur going to boycott diet soda you should avoid all tomato products- do some research on aspartame and how its important along w/ all foods containing it, you will see.. most people no less than nothing about it.
    remember ephedra will kill you, creatine will make ur heart and brain swell, and swallowing too much spit will cause cancer! or thats what i get from the media anyways.

    yes but its made of aspartic acid and Phenylalanine
    and a lil bit of methanol but this is very minuscule in comparison to most other foods that contain methanol many fruits and processed foods.
