Any diet pop is terrible poison IMO .

Do you see any side effects from regular pop ? Beside weight gain and diabetes .

Just as anti-freeze smells sweet .

Diet pop has sodium and chemicals I can't pronounce or spell .

People have all sorts of adverse reactions from certain diet chemicals .

I agree, id avoid em like like the plague. I stick to water and crystal light.

Agreed. They is nothing beneficial about them.

But one once in a while to keep your sanity won't kill you or your gains.

How frequently are you having them?

**afslc** · 09-29-2010, 10:58 AM

1 max a week sometimes none, if im out with friends and there drinking ill have a pop,monster energy or half the time ill usually stick to water with lemon and lime. I was more interested in everyones opinion

Make that one coke a week your reward after a week of staying on your diet....

It would be interesting to know exact how bad it is because on the tin of a coke zero it says it has nothing in it complete zero...I have a coke zero now and again and I stay in ketosis but the taste is sooooooooooo nice when your diet is so clean..doesnt seem to do me any harm

**afslc** · 09-29-2010, 11:07 AM

sounds good, I cant drink booze right now so it doesn't interfere with my diet.... but in december I will be be allowed to drink and leave the house. What do you guys do when it comes to going out and drinking? certain drinks to stick to? Just dont go out? only have a few? Limit per month?

dave palumbo said that at times he drank almost a gallon of diet/zero coke or soda when in ketosis, hes said numerous times that it has no significant bearing on health and its completely carb free so no calories.

I drink a can/day of diet root beer. In moderation I don't think you need to worry. Water and crystal light gets old fast.

**afslc** · 09-29-2010, 01:08 PM

basically dont live off the stuff, but a can a day wont hurt ya.... if your doing a can a day gbrice by the looks its not doing any harm haha

I personally can't drink any current diet pop . If I drink more than a 20 oz I have a reaction . I like the taste NP.
I wake up with a cold sore or a stye in my eye . If I was to drink a big gulp I end up with blinding headache .
I remember my grand parents using saccharin in tea as a child and was awesome .

**afslc** · 09-29-2010, 01:24 PM

thats crazy, gives me gut rot the odd time thats about it

**MR-FQ320** · 10-07-2010, 01:47 PM

It's been baffling me for some time now too, I mean zero calories, fizzy and sweet ? Never really drunk fizzy pop but now the alcohol has gone I'm looking for interesting alternatives and this can't be too bad in moderation

**Brewster** · 10-07-2010, 01:51 PM

My replacement to all pop is Ginger beer... Its my fav

**Times Roman** · 10-07-2010, 03:53 PM

before I say anything, so as not to appear hypocritical, I do cheat from time to time. I do like diet coke with my jack.

anyways, anytime you can't pronounce one of the ingredients, it's probably not a good idea to put that into your body. I try to stay as whole and natural as I can. But I do drink diet tonic water.
