is there any harm to drinking diet coke while cutting?
Diet coke says it has no carbs, it obviously has sweeteners, do these sweeteners spike your insulin ?
I hope yous tell me it's harmless cause I make ice lollipops with it, witch I enjoy, nice sweet treat when cutting.

depends what you mean by harmless. its sweetened with aspartame, although no (well verry little) insulin rise its nothing that would inhibit anything. but theres alot of health risks/cautions with aspartame so its recommended that you dont drink alot of it, 1 or 2 cans a day.

There have been several studies that show insulin spikes from artificial sweeteners. I'm not sure what to believe at this point tbh. I would say the same thing - moderation is key. A diet soda or two a day isn't going to make or break anybody's diet... with the possible exception of contest prep. So long as you're on point and consistent with the stuff that REALLY matters (hitting your macros, proper caloric intake, etc) you'll be fine.

i went through a phase of drinking coke zero when i was being really stict cutting but after a while i stopped, think the novelty had wore off.
stevia is a good sweetner, if youre wanting to mix up the flavours of your diet. its an extract from the stevia plant and only goes through a slight processing process. 1000 times sweeter than sugar. i have it in my oats.

most fizzy diet drinks are high in salt if drinking too much of it.

The sweeteners are going to trick your body into craving real sugar

Every diet I've ever been on I drank diet sodas. Every client I've ever done contest prep I've allowed to drink diet soda. I've yet to see it have a negative effect on cutting in any way. Now the health issues that may exist around these drinks is a different issue.
