How does diet soda affect atkins?

) wrote in message . com...
I drink a lot of diet soda (especially diet coke). Will this hinder
an atkins diet? Is diet coke worse than any other diet soda's? what
is everyone's experience?



It may or may not; it's how you tolerate it.

The caffine (if you drink that kind) isn't all that good for you, and
it makes some people more hungry.


The sweetener (aspartame) gives some people carb cravings. My doctor
recommended that I not drink Diet Coke for that reason. However, I
have been finding that it helps me STOP a craving when I'm
sweet-seeking.

I would recommend that you cut back; make Diet Coke something you
drink 1 or 2 of a day rather than your typical source of liquids.
Water is the best thing for you to drink.

Not only does it make it more special when you drink it... assuming
you DO drink the caffinated version, it makes caffiene work for you as
an alertness drug again! I know that when I (on rare occasions) drink
a caffinated Diet Coke, I really feel it. Which is important when you
have to stay awake driving or otherwise perform when you might be a
little tired or sleep-deprived.

However, I had cut out the caffiene many years ago, but started
low-carbing just this year.

I learned how to use the apostrophe in early elementary school.

what is everyone's experience?

Soda is junk and doesn't belong in a "healthy" diet
JMHO

You are full of crap. There is nothing wrong with diet soda.

Nothing right with it either. Why not just drink water or tea? You'll
skip all the fake food colorings and the phosphates that can lead to
loss of bone density. Dieting is about changing habits--not finding
frankenfoods that taste like something you shouldn't be eating.

Yes. At least "Waist Watcher" uses Splenda. There may be others. Waist
Watchers is good, but very sweet.

Suddenly diet soda is a "frankenfood?"

Y'know, I'm already tired of hearing that particular new phrase.

Do they get rid of that strange taste that other diet sodas have?

I've been drinking Diet Sodas for years. Prefer the taste, I know weird.
Diet -Rite tasted very 'Diety' to me, too sweet I think.
