Since diet = 0 calories is it ok to drink as much as you want?
No!
Diet sodas contain artificial sweeteners such as, aspartame and sucralose which can...
-Stimulate your appetite
-Increase carbohydrate cravings
-Stimulate fat storage and weight gain
These artificial sweeteners increase your insulin levels which increases hunger, even if you just ate. This can cause unneeded snacking to happen.
Extra snacking + unneeded calories = gaining weight
So when dieting try to stay away from these sugar substitutes. Try to drink water or allow yourself a juice full of vitamins and nutrients, such as V8 and other V8 products.
