/fit/ whats the deal with diet soda

some sites ive read say its horrible and if you're on a diet to elliminate it, but why? It has no calories? The sodium isn't that terrible either. How can it harm the diet?

Artificial sweeteners make you crave simple carbs. I read something recently that sweet tastes without calories screws up the metabolism. Stick with brown rice syrup, fruit, and dark chocolate.

Your brain is used to sugary things being full of calories. when you consume the diet soda, your body prepares for tons of calories. When it doesn't get the calories it prepared for, it tells your brain that you need to get those lost calories, so you eat more and also slow your metabolism down.

The ingredients in it can turn into formaldehyde in your stomach. Very bad. Real soda is probably better for you, but don't drink that either.

eh, no, aspartame can do that (OUTSIDE of your body) if it gets too hot, but not in you. Just gotta make sure that soda doesn't overheat.

Splenda I don't know about, though. Shit tastes weird, I know a whole lot of people who won't touch it.

ASPARTAME DOES NOT CAUSE CANCER. QUIT CIRCULATING THAT MYTH AND SCARING STUPID PEOPLE AWAY FROM DIET SODAS.

diet soda uses substitute sugar
Your can only burn energy in the form of sugar
no matter what it is, your body
must convert it to sugar

substitute sugar is fake and your body
doesn't know what it is so it stores it in your
body somewhere. making you fatter..

diet soda is bad for you NOT because it's stored away in your body (because it's not), but for these reasons:

the taste of something sweet automatically tricks your body into believing that you're consuming something sweet- something that has actual caloric value. this rev's up your stomach in preparation to burn these calories- but they're not there. this in turn makes you more liable to binge on something with actual calories in it to satiate the cycle you have started. if you resist food after drinking diet soda, this is still bad for you on the same basis that chewing and spitting is- your stomach has produced acids to digest food, but since that food isn't there that acid can actually harm your system.
