Diet coke is like a cornerstone of my diet. You say that it makes you crave sweets, but for me it's the opposite. It's whenever I start to crave sweets, I tell myself that I'm just gonna get some diet coke. Sweet but no calories. If I didn't have that option, I'd ve gone for sweets. But coke helps me to resist all kinds of temptations. It's my universal pill. I can maintain a very strict diet for as long as I have diet coke. It makes me content. Diet coke helped me to maintain my body weight for 3 years straight with no negative changes to my bodyfat %.

All I know is after switching from ginger ale to diet coke I lost 21lbs in first 3 months 🤔

People use diet soda the same way they use coffee. To get their fix and to fight boredom. It's an addiction for many people.

Alright here's my story. I was a diet coke addict. Drank 3-4 cans a day, sometimes even more. I found myself constantly hungry and unable to stop overeating. I quit diet coke and found it a lot easier to regulate how much I ate. Also the cravings for the foods i associated with drinking diet soda, such as fast food, have since disappeared. I dont think all the answers are out there but I am now firmly in the camp that diet coke causes weight gain. even if you lose weight drinking it I would imagine its easier and healthier without it.

I drink diet soda everyday, but i dont crave on sweets. Its satisfy me more than eating chocolates or other sugar loaded drinks. It makes me maintain my weight for a year now.

This has definitely been my experience. I have a strong bias against soda companies for abusing the word 'Diet.' They knew people like my parents would associate their doctors telling them they need to have a healthy diet with slapping 'diet' on the label. While obviously watching calories are important, companies abused that so that they'll always point to the "0 Calories" on the can as if that's the one thing they need to be wary of.

I have been counting calories for a few months now. I drink a lot of diet soda. I can easily eat 1, 000 calories a day and late at night I realize I need to eat another 500 calories. I do notice occasionally getting cravings after drinking diet soda, but I stick to my calorie budget. If people struggle to restrict calories with will power it's probably a good idea to cut diet soda.

For me it's easier to control cravings for food than cravings for diet soda.

3 kgs of weight loss in 3 weeks without changing any habit nor food intake or doing sport, just switching from regular to diet coke while eating because am addicted to sweetened beverages while eating, idk about aspartame nor sucralose but I know I lost weight using diet coke

It kinda depends on your workout time and cardio training if you wanna get lean. Eating small parts of rich lean foods like eggs, fish, tofu, brown rice, veggies, cat tuna or pasta are all good alternatives to losing weight. You eat to live not live to eat. You can have diet coke while getting weight loss in effect because of the training you need to put your body through. Dont destroy it with diet coke though. You need to do various body workouts over the week that works the entire body. Pec decks, nautilius press, bench press, weight-lifting, pull ups, pushups, sit ups, and more. One sat and sunday dedicate your workout to cardio training. By this I mean running a treadmill an hour for both sat and sunday.

The only thing I'm doing when i drink diet coke is to drink cold fresh water after, just to prevent cravings, and i was able to resist my cravings when i kept drinking cold water and it was able to work; I was able to resist overeating.

[donovankelley]

so how do you stop your sugar cravings? Because with or without a diet pop I crave sugars at some point. Doesn't it make more sense to subside that craving for a while by having a diet pop every now and again?

[crymoar]

Went from drinking mountain dew daily to cherry Pepsi zero and lost 14lbs in 2 weeks

[MrDaddy]

i dont really understand, but my question is diet coke is good for diet or elsE?

[dionwhatley]

My thing is……..I used to drink coffee every morning with sugar and cream but all that was messing with my stomach. Diet Pepsi is a way for me to still get my caffeine, ditch the bad white sugar and cream while maintain a calm stomach.

So, it’s just about avoiding the cravings

[personjo]

Personally I don’t think it affects your ability to lose weight. I’ve lost weight a few times while never giving up soda. I did a low carb diet.

[honestlynate]

I'll see this on Coach Greg's channel in a few hrs🤣

[michaelmatt]

If someone drinks a diet coke and they want a unhealthy food can't they just make the same thing they want but just high in protein and low in fat ?

[RicoWolfman]

Thx for the info💪🏾.

I drink diet coke. But i never have sweets int house.
No snacks.
So i cant grab any.

I'm going full gym and swimming before the summer. To lose 15 kg.
.
I think its easy er here in Nederland. I might think the portions have some impact

[test-xnlm]

I guess redbull has the same effect?
I find it takes away my hunger but no idea?
