How is it that diet coke can make you gain weight?!


Question: Diet pops are the worst. When you drink it, it tastes sweet - so your brain sends a message and your insulin increases. When your insulin increases, you crave sugar (real sugar) - so, you end up eating more during the day. Fake sweetners are very unhealthy. Consider drinking less sugary drinks - but, when you do, have the real thing, no diet!

Just because its diet doesnt exactly mean its healthy. Bottom line is that its still a soda. Water its the way to go and if you dont like drinking water cuz its flavor less..try flavored water! : )

WTH

it has artificial sweeteners but I am sure sure how they are broken down in the digestive system. other than ID, no calories or fat.

Maybe it's the coke "zero" I am thinking of

it is completely unhealthy. It has toxic chemicals and acid that can destroy healthy tissue and necessary liquids in your organs. The flavor begins a sweet craving for other sweet things, in addition it is terrible for teeth enamel and over time will destroy it.
Switch to herbal teas, the difference in how you feel will convince you and you will lose weight. I sip on rosehip all winter long and l rarely get a cold. Kombunca is excellent but has a little caffine.

Personally I drink diet coke from time to time. You don't gain weight because of the sweet, but because of the gas which increase the useful volume of your stomach (if frequently drinking)

All soda is pretty bad for you. I read this really interesting site on the effects of soda in the body, it's a real eye opener!

it doesn't make you gain weight. It might make you gain water weight, and make you bloated. But that is just temporary weight.

IT DOES NOT MAKE YOU GAIN WEIGHT, SINCE IT HAS 0 CALORIES. EVEN THE NUTRASWEET IT CONTAINS IS NOT HARMFULL FOR YOU. IT HAS BEEN PROVED THAT FOR NUTRASWEET TO AFFECT THE BODY, THE PERSON WOULD HAVE TO TAKE SO MUCH OF IT THAT IT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE FOR A HUMAN TO EAT THAT MUCH (NUTRASWEET).

Sodium is the major downfall in Diet's which in return the body will retain water

The simple answer is NO..you cannot GAIN weight from drinking diet Coke.
