Hi /fit/ I'm starting a diet and trying to lose weight but I want to know, is diet soda okay to have? I have heard that somehow it still can cause weight gain or something like that but that seems like a dubious claim.

I'm already aware of the possible health problems like cancer or whatever by using fake sugar but can I have diet soda while dieting and lose weight?

Drink tea instead, or sweeten some lemon juice and water with stevia.

But WHY is diet soda bad? I already drink tea too so maybe I'll just switch to that purely.

Can anyone actually explain the REASON why you shouldn't have diet soda though?

No reason, really, just elitist /fit/fags. They say it's the aspartame, but unless you drink a 12 pack every day, you wouldn't even know of any effects from it. The claims of gaining? No, it's just people who order a diet drink, and think they can therefore eat anything they want and not gain weight. I drink probably two or so cans at most a day, usually just one with dinner. Do the same, and nothing will be wrong. You can drink a bottle like your pic if you want, though.

I drink lots of water, and diet soda on my weekends.

Drink water, it's cheaper and tastes better than some shitty diet soda. And it gets the job done, you're hydrated... without the various chemicals going into your body.

Two cans a day? What a weak willed little bitch. At least you're consistent.

Enjoy your 1RM of 60 lbs.

This. I carry a Sigg water bottle around me every day (metal Swiss bottles, not that killer nalgene shit) and fill it up at water fountains around the campus. Free water is free.

What? I'd probably drink more if I wasn't at school, gym, or busy with vidya more. And what is this RM with 60 lb you speak of?

Holy shit I've never seen such a self-righteous and stupid bunch of posts in my life. I wanted to know the REASON why you shouldn't have diet soda not a bunch of bullshit about how water is better. THANKS BRO I GET IT WATER IS GOOD FOR YOU. Jesus fucking christ are you all retarded? Learn how to post a specific study or something that can give me some hard facts not some hearsay from your 30 year old fitness coach who has an IQ of 90.

The studies linking aspartame to cancer development in humans are far from conclusive.

Yes you can still lose weight.

But first, what is your reasoning for drinking soda?

i'd recommend you ask a nutritionist about the dangers of diet soda for any real answers, but it would be rather useless, since they will tell you how harmless it is.

The same was said about saccharin and look what that's gotten us. Fucking brain tumors, thats what.

You are coming off as an asshole, and while that might work in /b/, it won't get you very far here. Think about this. Soda in general, diet or not, contains a lot of extra shit your body doesn't need or is definitely not good to you. Soda had no nutrional value, but as humans we don't do everything to be fucking perfect. We need to enjoy shit now and then. So drink your fucking diet soda and be happy with it. Good christ.

1.) What is the reasoning for drinking soda at all?

2.) Water > most drinks, better, cheaper and more readily available. Unless you live in a country without clean water.
