welll your better off having water insted of soda, but the way i see it, its alright to have some softdrink every now and then, once a day is alright, and no it wont stuff up your muscle building unless you drinkin 6 cans of coke per day which your not. so its fine what your doing! =D

don't believe everything you hear on TV buddy. artificial sweeteners aren't bad for you. that's an urban legend.

well, while water>diet pop, there is nothing bad about one or two cans of diet soda a day.

Just enjoy em, man. And don't let it replace water.

care to provide some conclusive evidence that they do?

**Big_League** · 08-04-2005, 09:32 PM

It's not really bad for you, just make sure you are still getting your 1 gallon of water a day.

You should check out the flavored water (not Propel, the cheap ones at wal-mart), some of it is pretty good and you still get the water so it's win-win.

**koreanFURY** · 08-04-2005, 09:33 PM

drinking soda whether cutting, maintenance or bulking is bad in general..dont drink that crap

**bigbadjohn** · 08-04-2005, 10:30 PM

i cant believe this... people on this forum condone diet soda yet are united with open arms in the bashing of an occasional beer. soda does not result in a good time, has no bearing on your social life, and is nothing but empty calories. quit drinking it.

Diet soda has almost no calories...

**Tiger Driver** · 08-04-2005, 10:38 PM

Just avoid all soda. I never drink the stuff

**heavyweighter** · 08-04-2005, 10:39 PM

i told you man, drink 100% real grape fruit juice post work out, and any other time drink water. WHILE WORKING OUT! gatorade is very helpful, very replenishing

**pete89** · 08-05-2005, 08:49 AM

ok thanks but just to let anyone know the only nutrition facts on the can of diet coke is 25 sodium 0 caloris 0 carbs dont see how its fattening

**Redskull629** · 08-05-2005, 08:54 AM

you guys are pathedic, drinking diet soda isnt going to hurt you. It is going to keep you sane. If you cut out everything in your life, what is the point of living. The only thing diet soda does is make you bloated and most people dont give a sh*t about it when they are bulking. The only time i wouldnt condone drinking diet soda is when you are cutting because it will cover the six pack. But damn man, feel free to drink diet soda when ever the urge hits you. Live life, don't waste it.

Water would be better.

Diet soda is ok, but most of them contain Aspartame which really isn't a good sweetener.

Stick to 1-2 gallons of water a day.

**TheHybrid** · 08-05-2005, 11:01 AM

Yup diet soda is fine. I drink one a day. I love to drink soda, and I have to help curb this need so I've been drinkin 1 can (I wish I allowed myself more...) of diet soda a day.

Still, water is better, but you gotta curb your sweet tooth somehow, and diet soda helps mine.

**Peaked** · 08-05-2005, 11:03 AM

There really not bad, but the sweetener and sugars are pretty bad for you. Sometimes good for workouts.

Just limit the amount you intake.

I heard carbonation all by itself takes away the much needed oxygen from the muscles.

i was actually kidding, i drink diet soda occasionally, not terrible. How ever before when i wasnt eating enough, i had WAAY too much diet soda's w/ aspartame, and i got headaches and couldnt think straight all the time, course that could of been from the lack of food

. Id drink it when or out or your thirsty, but try and shy away from keeping lots at home, can get addictive.
ps: splenda is fine, keep some around the house its great
