that's a lie because diet sodas contain 0 calories

good job. I went 3 years without it once and felt great. I drink it on occasion now but nothing like I used to. it used to be daily and now it's maybe once or twice a month

It seems to contradict the laws of physics. Regular sodas are full of calories, 140 per can and up. Diet sodas have zero calories. So it seems logical that replacing one with the other should help you lose weight, or at least stay the same weight. But no--several studies have proved conclusively that drinking diet soda is associated with weight gain. In one study, participants who started out normal weight and drank three diet sodas a day were twice as likely to be overweight or obese eight years later as their non-diet-soda drinking peers.

Science, bruh

maybe diet sodas make you want to eat more potentially? I don't see how something 0 calories can make you gain weight in of itself. it's like when people say pills made them gain weight, but in reality they probably just wanted to eat more while on them

What else were they eating with the diet soda? What were their diets with these diet sodas?

They don't, people just don't want to put the damn fork or chip bag down

I only had an orange soda this past weekend, but other than that I haven't had a sugary beverage since January 3rd. I've lost 10+ pounds in a month from not drinking alcohol and soda and not eating out all the time. It's lovely.

3. It makes you feel entitled to eat more.
Counting calories is still the most common method people use to try to lose weight, and it's the basic principle behind both Weight Watchers and the popular weight-loss app Lose It! If you're counting calories, there's a simple equation: Drinking a regular soda means you have to eat 140 calories less of something else that day or that meal. Drinking a diet soda means you've consumed zero calories, so you get a free pass to eat more. But since drinking the diet soda has fooled your body into expecting sugar, it's changed the way you metabolize those other calories--you may store more of them as fat and use fewer of them as energy--which could leave you hungry and wanting even more food.

Or you can just eat better and still have a diet soda :)
