Title: Sugar free soft drink
Post by: 1more on August 22, 2006, 05:01:13 AM: Hi everyone,

I have recently started cutting and was having only water or protein shakes(with water) to drink. I always thought soft drink contained a huge amount of calories...but have seen cans of that sugar free cola and stuff with less than 5 calories. Surely there has to be something I'm missing??? I wouldn't mind being able to bring it into my very bland cutting diet but I feel there must be a catch.

Any advice would be appreciated

Thanks

Another vote for crystal lite if you can find it where you're at.

I enjoy diet caffeine-free colas. No calories. No sugar. No caffeine. Just delicious cola flavour (yeah I buy the generic brands - they're like half price)

In Canada it's illegal to have caffeine in clear beverages, so I can drink diet Sprite without worrying over being jacked up all night.

diet soda is not 0 calorie. It's simply a technality with the FDA
