Supposedly the aspartame can spike insulin in some people, but I question that. And even if it would spike insulin levels, there would not be any fat gain without a caloric surplus. Diet soda is not bad specifically for cutting, but drinking a lot of diet soda may not be the best thing for general health. I do not care, and I'll have a few diet sodas a week when bulking or cutting.

watch out if your taking an eca stack, cos the diet soda willl add up more caffeine and can make you more jittery.

Re: Why is diet soda bad when cutting again?
goyard, I don't see any problems with drinking diet pop while cutting. Aspartame should not spike insulin whatsoever. Unless you're extremely sensitive, there shouldn't be a problem. Though, as common sense will say, drink in moderation as water is your best choice, bar noneOriginally posted by goyard

It's not bad cutting or bulking, but you should limit the amount you drink for the fact that most sodas have caffeine, and drinking tons of caffeine can dehydrate you. I drink a few diet mountain dews a day, but I also drink 2 gallons of water a day on top of that.

Yup the main negative effect it can have on you is dehydration. People often substitute it with water a little too much. Plus it can bloat you a little due to the excess carbonation. Some people aren't as affected by that tho.Originally posted by tweeter37

Diet soda tastes like paste. Yuck.
Being all that I can be is simply not good enough. I will be better.
Body building is 40% lifting, 40% diet and 40% sleep. And it's always going to be 120% dedication.

They aren't so bad once you get used to them.Originally posted by shoemoodoshaloo

especially diet cherry, vanilla, type flavors. Diet coke does taste like chemicals so i stay far away from that. Never really grew to like the lemon flavors either. Yucky, yuck.
