Anyone drink diet coke/pepsi whle dieting?
« on: June 05, 2006, 03:50:31 PM »
ther eis 40mg of sodium per can in diet coke. I heard people say they drink it for the caffeine, and how it doesnt hur you really, as long as your not doing it a few weeks before a show.

Is drinking diet coke/pepsi detrimental to getting lean? Besides the sodium being high?

Bro that's pretty much all I drink for the "sweet" taste. You need sodium anyway to keep water in your muscles while you go low carb. Most sodium is reduced to zero approximately 1 week before showtime.

      Hey Heracles and Old School Flip, if you want a sweet taste, try Coke Zero. Still zero calories, but sweeter taste, with still 40mg sodium. Also, you could try flavored waters, which usually have 5 to 10mg of sodium.

      Heracles, I am Greek too.     Agameesu reh Milaka ;D

      Just kidding. I am full-blooded Greek, but no very little( micro ) of the language, mostly bad words.

  I love diet soda--so much so that, whenever I try to drink regular soda now, I can only drink a third of the bottle. Anyone try the new Diet Black Cherry Vanilla Coke? Good sh*t.
