What are your thoughts on diet soda. I am addicted to Diet Dr Pepper, is it that harmful to my training?

I really don't think one or two Diet Sodas a day will make any impact...but for piece of mind I stick with water or crystal light when trying to lean out....

I have been on the diet soda kick for a while but I'm trying to get the hell away from it because of the artificial sweetener. I switched to buying the flavored sparkling water sodas like "La Croix". No sugar, No Sweetener, 0 calories. It's good stuff.

Meh iv always wondered about this also, I mean the main reason people dont eat carbs certain carbs alot of the time is because of the whole glycemic index issue and spiking insulin levels , but diet soda is made from certain sweeteners that are dextrose or other high glycemic index sweetners. So I would think it would raise insulin levels but also theres no calories on it so does that mean its only good solo but bad if you combine with food ? O-o or does it really not matter ? I mean me personally I just drink tonsss of water when cutting , I used to love diet sodas though but then after you have so much motivation and dedication and you kick the habit it wont bother you (hell I have't draken any type of soda since last thanksgiving and thats cuz the damn in laws poored me a glass of diet pepsi without asking and didnt want to be rude and reject it) and if im bulking and get bored of water then I just got for milk or natural fruit juices , or some other type of milk like coconut or almond etc.

Diet sodas such as,Aspartame is considered potentially dangerous.The best thing is to drink water because diet sodas can still have acids in them that can eat your teeth and your stomach lining.

Diet soda has nothing to do with the good.
You want to know how bad the diet soda is just read the ingredients yourself and you can conclude yourself what are you drinking.But the reality is that most of the people knows the reality but so addicted that they don't even want to skip diet soda.

Yes, stay away from the aspartame in the diet sodas. Crystal Light a good idea!

I drink tons of flavored water and vitamin water that is sweetened with sucrolose/splenda. It doesn't spike insulin and taste good. I try not to get too wrapped up in the all-natural bs
