As a self proclaimed addict to soda, switching to diet/sugar free has been a god send personally.
Guarantee that you drink less because artificial sweeteners are disgusting
@@johncrowley3322newsflash: different people have different preferences.
either way, what's the insinuation here? are you claiming that swapping from a full sugar drink with hundreds of calories to a diet drink with under 10 calories is not going to impact your weight all else equal? that's ridiculous.
@@johncrowley3322nah that was in the past, sodas companies are actually trying to make the zero sugar sodas identical because some countries have serious tax events in sugar sodas.
Lol that shits poison
Agreed, diet sodas (and sweeteners too) have literally been a quality of life improvement for me
Ok if I'm a weirdo but diet sodas have materially improved my level of general enjoyment
I love how nutritionists answer the zero sugar question with 'it might even cause cancer but the bad effects of sugar overconsumption is so bad, getting JUST cancer beats getting cancer plus diabetes, plus heart disease and so much more.'
Unfortunately, Aspartame was "raised" to "might cause cancer" a while back. I still have the diet coke, because I like that sugary-type carbonated kick with my food. Wish there was something that was just properly known to have absolutely no link to cancer or anything.
@maxborn7400 Its only said to cause cancer because it can give you issues like acid reflux, indigestion, ibs etc. Because of the effect it has on the gut microbiome. Some people can tolerate it some cant. It's not the diet soda that causes cancer, it's the the way your body reacts to diet soda that can cause conditions that lead to cancer.

I personally feel the best when I avoid all sodas, though I still enjoy one on occasion. When I buy a pack of diet soda I end up drinking 3-5 cans per day and then my palate is ruined for the blander healthy food I need to eat.
Rose water, orange blossom water, geranium water. They are all supremely flavoured. And they barely have any calories in 100g 0-3g. Add it to water. Or protein shake, or bcaa omg. The flavour. Tisane teas too. Either cold or hot. Omg. They are all good.
Stop eating bland food then....
@@thenube23 7 months ago I didn't word that very well. What I meant was food that isn't loaded with sugar or fake sugar tastes more bland when you're drinking soda all the time.
Same here. Diet sodas also make me crave more sugary and junk foods. I’m trying to quit for the bazilianth time. Plus, it gets expensive
just control yourself
As long as you don’t substitute the calories you lose from switching from regular soda to diet soda with something else, you are good. I have a pretty serious Diet Mountain Dew habit, but I always say that if that is my only real vice, I am good with that.
So many people here who are so dogmatic about diet soda being bad lol
Why it is not Bad?
It's just not for me, I get physically sick from it and don't really know why since I do think it tastes fine.
@@DanielaVera-gl5zbbecause it’s just fizzy water with black colouring and a zero calorie sweetener
@@DanielaVera-gl5zb
Show any credible study with significant conclusions about how bad it is, or STFU. Thanks.
Your body doesn't process them and they have been linked to certain cancers. Not to mention they still spike your insulin because your body thinks its getting sugar
You should try water sometime, it's great.
I weight train and drink alot of diet soda and eat clean people who say it's not good for weight loss are talking bollocks
yeah its still bad for u obviously but great for macros. Getting off soda was one of the best things I ever did, I never liked diet tho
There'll be people in the comments spouting the usual uneducated BS against diet sodas... and people claiming the moral high ground of "uh, sodas are for kids, i just drink water brah"... well, f*** these people.
@@masonholtsford7562 Why is it still bad for you? Obviously, teeth non withstanding.
@@TheArrowedKneethese guys dont usually have any science to back their claims but he could just mean that youre still feeding that junk food addiction
Wrecking havoc upon your gut though
Zero Sugar pop has been a heavenly change. I eventually want to eliminate it, but it's has helped losing fat.
I haven’t heard anyone call it ‘pop’ since I left Ohio 😉
@@carastone3473 Corporations coming into the Midwest and using "soda" on the menus are erasing the Midwest slang.
A carbonated soft drink is called pop!!!
Thank you so much for this video ❤
Diet pop has been a game changer for me!
I’m not a diet soda gal (I prefer sparkling water; the lemon/lime one is very comparable to Sprint imo). Fat just fell off when I stopped drinking sugar filled sodas. It was amazing to experience! Amazing enough that I no longer care to drink sodas anymore.
I have one occasionally and I mean maybe 2 or 3 a month.
....how much fat did "fall off" 😂
@@nikola4962 I lost 80lbs total. Not all from eliminating soda of course 😂… but it was the first thing I dropped with my lifestyle change and probably lost a good 10lbs at the start of my journey. Not drinking my calories definitely helps keep the weight off though.
Just the fact that dropping soda can make you lose ten pounds is helpful in convincing you to continue to change your lifestyle for the better in other ways
Diet soda has annihilated my late night sugar cravings! Between one coke zero or 4 donuts, ill take the coke zero.
personally I like to have SOME calories when I use artificial sweeteners, so at least my body does have something to digest along with the sweetness. In my tea I use a sweetener mix of 3/4 splenda and 1/4 sugar and a pinch of salt (because salt makes everything better), and I often only drink zero calorie sodas with a meal. If I have diet soda by itself I end up with an upset stomach and some weird drop in energy.
Zevia is the best diet soda I’ve ever tried. Its uses stevia as the sweetener instead of aspartame, or surcralose, and it taste the best!
Imma be real diet soda does not taste like regular soda it’s not as good, but it’s good enough and that’s key
Someone's never had a and w sugar free root beer
@@ghostofmoredishesmorebitch1507
That's like the 274th time somebody has mentioned that. I'm going to have to try it.
@@jridenour31 they taste better than full sugar ones no joke
Diet Coke tastes like shit but Coke Zero is actually good. If anything I enjoy it more than normal coke because it’s not overwhelmingly sweet and syrupy.
yeah this is absolutely true. I switched to diet soda years ago and also I use Splenda in my coffee usually only one or two packs by doing this especially as I’ve gotten older into my 40s over the years I have cut out hundreds of thousands of calories it’s no joke, those calories we’re going to go somewhere most likely fat.
So true mike.
I’m on a Keto diet and Diet Soda is an absolute life saver for sugary/sweet cravings! I don’t get them often, maybe once a week, but I always have some cans of diet soda in my fridge at all times so that when I do have that craving I can just stop it in its tracks immediately
I love me some grapefruit, orange, and black cherry flavored Zevia
Best carbonated sweet drink for me is table spoon of honey dissolved in a glass of carbonated water.
A long time ago I lost 50 lbs. At the time people were constantly asking me how I was doing it, it wasn't sexy, it was just calorie counting and portion control (and resistance exercises). I have never been a big soda drinker, I would have one from time to time (i.e. couple times a month). When people would ask my advice I'd tell them I'm actually envious of people who get a lot of calories from soda because it'd be sooo simple if you just switch out the sugar soda for another drink that you like, instant calorie reduction right there. I've always loved water, I was never much of a liquid calories kinda person. When I cut calories I have to cut actual solid food and that makes it harder in terms of hunger. I'm not saying it's easy to give up soda you like, just saying that's a single, simple step.
I find I do better without Diet Sodas. I think the Artifical sweetness turns on my appetite big time and also messes with my satiety. I do best on a low carb/ zero sugar and artifical sweetners have me craving more sweets
This is a great observation, all my obese friends drink diet soda.
Exactly
@@nicolasmaldonado1428 this is what's called "anecdotal evidence", which is a nice way of saying it doesn't mean shit
Zevia soda has been a game changer for me. I don't drink other diet soda anymore.
Artificial sweeteners help in getting off off regular soda. In my case, I also really liked sodas and sugary carbonated drinks, artificially sweetened drinks helped me curb my addiction of regular soda, but after some weeks, I found that artificially sweetened drinks were actually making me more thirsty, it was like I felt dryness in my mouth and throat after even having a sip of that drink, so I had to stop that too.
All in all, artificial sweeteners are great way to transition from sugar or sugary drinks.
I haven’t read much about the side effects of artificial sweeteners though, that’s also one restraint that I have.
My hack is binging on watermelon, pickles, and sugar-free jello. Whenever I feel an urge to binge, I’ll have 4 sugar feee jellos (40 calories) and I feel like I don’t want to eat until the next day. It’s amazing
link to full video?
Sugar free ginger ale is my go hack for making drinks. Other than that I just don’t really drink soda, like less than a can a month.
Diet pop legitimately is great for getting lean because the fizziness of it makes you full, and it satisfies your sweet tooth without needing sugar. I still prefer water, though. It’s a good bridge as you transition from drinking hyper-sweet beverages to drinking plain water, that’s for sure
Finally, some evidence based SOUND advice and information. Thanks!!
While I'll drink them every now and again when cutting, they wreak total havoc on my gut if I drink them too often. They are definitely not good for the gut microbiome, and can be responsible for systemic effects through that proxy, so not healthy in general.
I've been drinking 9 or 10 a day for many years and I'm fine
Aspartame is absorbed in the body before it even hits the large intestine tho
Zero sugar monster tastes better than most of the flavours with 80g of sugar 🙌🏻 may not be that good for me still but I’ll take it when I’m trying to cut back on sugar and stuff
I tend to few soda as a treat. To each his own though
This is just my personal experience, but my father would drink about a 2L bottle of Diet Coke a day. Aspartame is the sweetener used in Diet Coke, and it has been shown to cause brain tumors in mice. My father died of a brain tumor when I was 10 years old.
The trick is never eating sugar, I haven't eaten a gram of sugar in 5 years unless it came from fruit. Subsequently I never crave sugar or other junk food.
The actual trick is figuring out what triggers you to crave and eat. For you it's sugar, for me it's fat. It's going to be different for everyone.
Sucks to be boring AF 😂
@@taylorhillard4868 god i love satuerated hot fat
That's what I'm saying! Diet Soda is a Hack. If I have to choose between a half pack of Oreos or a whole bag of Reeses vs a Diet Soda, I'll choose the Diet Soda everytime. So yeah it's a hack for me
Sweetners causes your insulin not to rise which means your blood sugar is high. Your insulin doesn’t trigger and this effectively causes diabetes type two
So what if I drink only water milk and coffee? Should I now start to drink diet soda?
Worked for me back when I was around 25. I lost 30 pounds and maybe ran a mile or two per week and lifted weights a couple of times per month. I ate the same as before.
the real life hack is to cut out soda entirely and drink more water.
Diet Pepsi was my soda of choice at one point and I’d still call it my overall favorite so I’m not exactly losing too much drinking diet, especially if it’ll get me down under 200lbs. That’s a worthy sacrifice.
Diet soda does not taste like regular soda.
Only caveat is that you have to let your taste buds adjust (couple of weeks). Now Diet Coke tastes like regular Coke (slight bad aftertaste tho).
I switched to diet soda about 30 years ago. Still waiting on those mounds of weight loss.
People like to be puritanical and judge me for drinking diet soda. Judge away, it tastes good and I'm not drinking sugar, win win.
I recall that when I moved from my mom to my dad at age 15 I cut the sweet drinks and just pkayed hockey twice a week and I lost nearly 30 kilos (60 pounds) in under a year, it makes a huge difference and its proven scientificslly and anecdotaly
I believe less than 5 cals per serve can legally be called zero calories. But techinally still has a tiny bit of energy
This month diet soda diet!!!
Drink only Diet soda for weeks!
And water of course!!
Starting on SATURDAY
The only problem is when you stop drinking the Diet Coke then you’re conditioned to expect sweet things throughout the day so then you crack out the chocolate cake
Definitely not. Just say no. Discipline.
@@IntegraDIY just say no is garbage advice.
@@cybervoid8442 the say no to drugs message displayed on 80s arcade machines helped me say no to drugs
@@-Clarence- you personally maybe but America's drug problem didn't go away. It's a fact that people's will power is very limited. It's why most fad diets fail.
@@cybervoid8442 well that’s the point. Throw a blanket statement out there and people who see value in the message will follow it, while others will ignore it. Now look at the internet and everyone is doing what the 80s arcade machines did, but with viewpoints that contradict each other. At some point you gotta think for yourself or you’ll drown in all the noise
at this point I prefer diet soda over regular (generally speaking)
That is assuming you already drink soda. For someone like me who only drinks water, tea and coffee on a daily basis, this wouldn't help
One of the most genius things to do to loose weight if you like soda is to do diet soda. 8kgs down, more to go!
The true hack is drinking water though.
Your still gonna be hungry\ even hungrier after drinking water so a diet soda will curb your hunger
Diet soda tastes just like regular soda huh. That’s crazy
Doubt
The acidity is terrible for your teeth though. If you care about your dental health you should cut down on any kind of soda
swish out your mouth with water after you finish the can to mitigate those risks. the citric acid does serious damage when its allowed to sit there for long periods of time
And sweeteners like erythritol supposedly wreak havoc on your gut health. Nothing is free 😢
Or brush your teeth scum
So take care of your teeth. Not rocket science.
@@NattyGuyAnd one way of taking care of your teeth would be not downing soda every day lmao
Artificial sweeteners have some negative effects. Worth researching them before diving into diet soda…
Man, diet or zero sugar sodas are great
I discovered diet Sprite and it's different flavors, idk why but for me the base flavor tastes like Lychee soda which immediately put it at the top of my list of sodas
Diet soda tastes almost identical? Ummm, science just laughed.
I had a full blown argument with a few coworkers who thought diet soda made you fatter than regular soda. Absolute clowns
Just drink water
This is really an American thing. No other countries crave ‘soda’ and need a diet version replacement.
Mexico and the UK beat the US in obesity, Soda and sweet drinks are a common issue in that, among other things. It is not a US only issue. it sounds like you don't study any of this yet act like you're an authority?
But this bag of skittles I have says theres 6000 delicious calories inside!
I switched from regular, to diet, to water. Lost tons without the sugar, and i saved money by not buying pop.
YES. never been a soda drinker, but when I started tracking my calories, holy shit the amount of sugar in my 2-3 cups of coffee a day was insane. Splenda and almond milk helped me lose 35 lbs. Sorry but whatever is in artificial sweetness can't be worse than sugar. Obesity kills.
You could also do the true ancestral thing and drink water.
I was addicted to coca cola and i gave it up 100% for water and coffee the only other thing i drink now from time to time is zero sugar monster energy drink,
and after 2 months free of it i tried taste it and it tasted bad as shit it tasted like sugar serup, hated it and that made me so freaking happy.
But do artificial sweeteners ruin gut microbiome?
I don't think diet soda tastes much like regular, but I still drink it just to save calories. People who claim diet soda is worse for you than regular are just making excuses to take in all that sugar
These diet sodas make me nauseous. I've been drinking energy drinks, gatorade, coffee and water. I thought I'd hate the coffee with skim milk in it instead of creamer, but I was wrong. Wife called me a sociopath though
Lol
Water is better
Incredible insight.
diet soda. yes its not tastes as the real one. cuz its not sugar in it. yes , still not replace water . but i am happy to open a small can at the weekend after ive drink the whole week just water ( water healthy but diet soda still cool to reward myself here and there. )
I don't drink any soda to begin with. Should I start drinking diet soda to cut XD?
Imagine if you drank water
I drink a gallon a day and I'm still hungry so I'll drink a diet soda to curb my appetite
For a human that doesn't use any performance enhancement stuff. I'm still not using any artificial sugars. Plus rose water is way better than sugar.
People often say it makes you gain weight bc they do studies on who drinks diet soda which odcourse is going to be people who are more obese trying to lose weight. So it skews the results and people's thinking into making somehow the cause of their weight gain.
How about just cutting all the soda?
STRONG MAN ALSO SMART
Not really . Has completely overlooked other effects of soda ..... Insulin spiking, increased cancer
@@penderyn8794 Drop a convincing study on these claims my man.
Diet soda absolutely does not take like regular. Pepsi max tastes like the floor
I just pound flavored seltzer water like nobody’s business.
I am a soda addict. I love Coca-Cola, but Diet Coke and Coke Zero taste like garbage to me.
does it still raise blood sugars same level as sugar ... or less?
Less
Don’t bother with Diet Coke, just drink Zero and nothing more. You literally have no reason to drink the full sugar one, and if you’re the type of person that says it’s not good enough, I probably already know you drink and eat waaay too many calories. Go one even better and drink zero calorie soda, such as 7up, which for a zero calorie thing, is refreshing as hell.
Yep the diet soda is hacking your gut biome to pieces 😂
Still spikes insulin
always had perfect teeth, went to the dentist after relying on diet soda. she said i have 10 soon to be holes, wild
I've lost almost 100lbs with the help of dt sodas.😊
Since I was a kid I preferred the taste of diet coke😅
Now if only it didn't taste like garbage I'd be set 😂
artificial sugars are bad for you tho
For it to work first you have to drink shitload of normal soda. Which normal people don't do
Just drink water. You are not a toddler.
Ok, gl, you look like homer simpson I'm sure you know what you're doing, lmao.
That's dumb. If there's a demographic that definitely should not be drinking soda is toddlers
What about the studies that say how it affects your gut health?
We're talking weight loss here. Not general health.
@@GeezNutz If it makes you sick to the point of screwing up your ideal hormone levels, exercise and diet, then maybe it can affect weight/fat loss
@@-Clarence- Some studies showed microbiome changes, some didn't. Generally those that did were usually on animal trials and/or high dosages. Besides, they often didn't even directly show a "sick" gut biome, just an altered one with some increases in potentially pathogenic species. The only related problems I know of, that have been actually pointed towards in studies, are things like minor diarrea or stomach aches, so if you experience those I guess it's best not to use sweeteners, but that is individual.
@@loyalistmemer5436 ok forget the studies, from personal experience prolonged consumption makes me feel sick
@@-Clarence- Thats totally valid, studies arent everything. If one feels sick or nauseous, sweeteners simply arent for them. It would just be wrong to make generalised statements based of that, as unfortunately a lot of people do.
Zero Sugar is far better than Diet”
I don't like this because I've found the heightened sugar cravings from a fake sugar to he worse then eating a real sugar originally I mean I've had situations where a coke zero had spired on a junk food carnival for me which is something I normally really don't do and can't stand due to the sick feeling after.
Or just dont drink soda?
What about all the other extra chemicals
Does anyone know of diet soda causes fatty liver? Cause some UA-cam are stating this
Causes diabetes. Insulin resistance. Gut bacteria issues. Cravings. Blood sugar spikes. Cancer. Good luck
Yeah, this cutting stuff is easy. 17 coke zeros a day and my weight is plummeting
Bro diet soda tastes nothing like the real thing
I think Diet Coke tastes like chemicals.
