Does diet coke prevent weight loss at all?!


Question: Does diet coke prevent weight loss at all!?
I do hear many rumours about this but wondered if there is any truth at all to it!?
I drink ONE CAN of DIET COKE each day almost without fail!. Rarely more, and rarely never!. It is sort of my ;afternoon snack' and i really enjoy it!. It isatisfies my sweet craving and fills me up somewhat so i don't need to eat anything and gets me from lunch to tea!.!.!.i dont drink coffee ever and only the occasional cup of tea, so my caffeine intake overall is pretty low!.
However I really struggle to loose any weight when following a diet!. I am not particualrly overweight, i would like to loose 5-10lbs, but my body wont have it whatever I eat whatever I do and I wondered if this could be a problem or if most people consider it to be rubbish!?!Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
There is some evidence that the ingestion of artificial sweetners boost insulin levels which promotes fat storage how solid this information is is up for debate!. I personally try to avoid artifical sweetners as much as possible simply because they are unnatural and there is some evidence linked to health issues and besides you dont need them!.

On the surface it sounds like you are craving sugar and are substituting this with artificial sweetners!. A solid balanced diet of healthy nutrient dense food should eliminate most cravings!.
The body is a relatively simple machine when it comes to weight loss its mostly about calories in versus calories out but also partly the type of calories you consume!.

If you are struggling with weight loss you havent got your programme right you may want to speak to a nutritionist or join a gym and get some advice from a trainer!. But if your not overweight its likely you just need to tone up a bit you'll be amazed at how much putting on a little lean muscle and shedding some body fat does for body image!.

good luck

No, diet Coke does not prevent weight loss!. Since it has caffeine, it is a diuretic and will actually make you lose some water!. That is why when you are adding up your fluid intake for the day, you only count half of what you had when it contains caffeine!. (Note that some will say to drink a certain amount of water each day, but in reality you can count anything that is liquid at room temperature towards your daily fluid intake!.)Www@Answer-Health@Com

Stay away from anything called "DIET"!. The food and drug industry uses this term to MAKE MONEY!.

If you are attempting to shed weight, it is pivotal to appreciate that it cannot be done adequately overnight!. There are thousands of products on the web!. It is best to stay away from weight loss pills, as they seldom live up to the expectations!. Many products also promise to get rid of certain types of fat!. For example, ab machine manufacturers claim that you can get rid of stomach fat!. This is not true!. They will not remove the fat around the belly!. These machines simply strengthen the center muscles while keeping the fat on the surface!. Whatever you are attempting to attain with your weight loss goals, keep away from products that sound too good to be true!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
