NO diet soda cans to research here but wouldn't the salt content of these diet drinks have some adverse effect on dieting?

The more salt and water you consume the less water you are going to hold. You will also be a lot fuller.

There is a lot of artificial garbage in a lot of things.... why avoid it? It has no calories. If it keeps you from binging then why not drink it?

Leaf, can you offer me more details on this? Or refer me to some web site that explains it in complete detail.

I assume that you mean holding less water is advantageous in a BB contest.

If so, when do you load up on salt during your contest prep stage ...... and how much salt and etc., etc.

I never did understand this "salt" business.

Thanks

Yea, BB, so I've heard. That's why I'm asking him basic salt questions. Might as well just ask an expert rather that spending hours searching all these boards.

You "think" zero calorie soda makes you fat? Why don't you post these studies. How does something that doesn't have a caloric value make you fat? Im confused.
This article explains it.  I think a disciplined bodybuilder could drink diet soda with no problems but there does seem to be a correlation between diet soda and obesity.

Anytime you add something new into your diet last minute it's going to cause a shock to your body. That's why you see these people who do low sodium and then they end up getting a little bit of salt into their diet and they bloat up like crazy. Consistency is the key to anything so if your salt and water is high it would be no different then have your salt and water is low. Water in high amounts is a diuretic. I drink 3 gallons of it a day during prep. I got all this stuff from Jeff Rodriguez. He is the master not me.
