LookIt'sRob LookIt'sRob Post Master Sr Registered: 08/14/08 Posts: 3735 Loc: SOCAL	I drink a ton of water, cardio 5-6 days a week and weights 3 days a week. Eat healthy (1600-1800 cals/day 40/40/20). However, I do drink diet coke daily. Mostly with my lunch and usually around 32-44 oz a day. It hasn't affected my goals, workouts, sleeping habits, nothing.. I've heard people say the aspartame (sp?) in it slows down your metabolism. Is that true or bs? _________________________ "Why do you try to shit on any and everything posted in CSi?

That being said, drinking a 1-5 cokes daily does not really do much to you. Although, your body will be in much better condition if you did not consume soda at all. (you body can handle Soda, its the teeth that cant, inless you raise your mouth with water after)

Like you said, Aspartame is not dangerous but it does slow weight loss and can cause insulin levels to go haywire causing cravings among other things.

It's flavored, has no calories, no sugar, no fat, and no sodium in it. They use splenda in it _________________________ [civicstyle] lol you guys, it feels good when we hug in the club

mrbeefhead mrbeefhead Unregistered	I used to be a soda guy but I cut that out about 2 months ago. I wouldn't drink it that often, but I'd always go non-diet since it tasted nasty to me. Drink of choice was ginger ale. Since I started to eat a little better and try to get into the fitness thing I cut soda out and now when I have a craving for something fizzy I drink a pomegranate seltzer water from Polar (might be a regional beverage, I'm in the northeast). http://www.polarbev.com/PRODUCTS/Seltzers/PomegranateSeltzer/tabid/97/Default.aspx nothing artificial, and pretty much zeros across the board (sugar/carb/etc.). much better than soda, but still provides that fizzy kick.
