I've lost 3lb in 3 days, after getting stuck at my previous weight and the only thing I've changed is that I'm not longer drinking 3 500ml bottles of diet coke per day!

I agree that soda in general isn't good for you (especially after you see all the grime it can clean off of a car motor) I even agree that it causes you to crave more sugar/carbs etc. But does diet soda MAKE you gain weight?? The answer is NO, it doesn't. I have lost close to 50 lbs in 6 months drinking diet coke on a daily basis and continue to be able to lose it. I don't crave sugar at all. In fact I don't eat ANY white sugar. Nor do I crave carbs. I eat no processed white flour either. So, while the majority of what has been said here is dead on, diet soda can't make you gain weight. Only shoving food in your face makes you gain weight. Okay, I agree that all the artificial sweetners are bad for you.

Hi fructose corn syrup, which is what is used to sweeten regular coke. Is just as deadly as aspertame. It will make you crave more too. There is no real sugar in pop anymore. stay away from all of it. Just to let you all know. Hi fructose corn syrup, which is what is used

I have since switched to sparking water and tea with lemon. I don't keep sodas in the house or at work next to me any longer. I dont know. I have known for years this wasn't good for me, but was not willing to put it down. Addiction is very cunning and baffeling, as I well know! My mother gave us diet sodas from the time I could drink them. She grew up in the age of "TAB"! It's not her fault. Ignorance is bliss! However, it does make me wonder if this has contributed to my food addiction. MAN....I feel so,so much better today physically. I am not perfect. I had two this past week at a restraunt. I only drank a 4th of it and didnt feel like "oh, this tastes so good". Progress, not perfection. It takes what it takes:) Hope this helps someone elses addict mind. Also, my clothes are looser as of just one week. I just got off of splenda about 1 week ago and was drinking about 5 diet cokes a day. I have since switched to sparking water and tea with lemon.

I have a one-hour Podcast coming up - well I may break it down into three 20-minute Podcasts - on the Deadly Poison of Aspartame, Equal, Splenda. I think you will really find it interesting. I'll go live with it in August.

Even with artificial sweetners they are colored with caramel (sugar). This doctor is also a nutritionist but has some strange recommendations. He said if you must use a sweetner use equall and splenda is the worst. My brothers endocrinologist told him no diet products at all.

Isn't it crazy that we can have approval of all the artificial sweeteners - like Aspartame but we can't have Stevia offically approved as a sweetener. It has been used in Japan for over 30 years as a sweetener, and in other countries around the world! See my article on Stevia here http://www.diana2.com/stevia_health_benefits.html It's great to see you on this wonderful health journey. Diana Hi Terrence,
