Author Topic: What about "diet" drinks? (Read 4943 times)

I think i will add some coke light or zero to my diet for the first time.

Today in my 12th week of dieting (beggining

) i had some strong cravings, i tried some coke light and im "full" right now...

I dont know it has ZERO cals but it looks suspicious to me.....

will it harm my diet? Its the first time i drank coke after a long time.

zewro calories plus caffiene.... its actually a fat burning drink meso... drink as much as you like... just cut em out b4 night time so you get to sleep and also probably want to cut them out the last week before the contest...

Palumbo said that you can drink as much diet soda as you want on a pre-contest diet. I drink coke zero everyday, tastes awesome.

Yeah but he says that stimulates like caffeine work against your body for retaining/building muscle.

dieting itself works against retaining/building muscle.

the idea that fat loss stimulants shouldnt be used be cause of cortisol is malarky. in a natural , caffiene boosts testosterone at the same time as boosting cortisol, so the two negate eachother. in an AAS user, theres no need at all to worry about cortisol.

Nothing wrong with Coke Light or Coke Zero - I drink that stuff 365 days a year whether offseason or precontest. It's good for helping to wash down bland meals like chicken and rice etc.

Nasser would drink diet coke all year round when competing, and even today.

I think there is a slight difference of opinion on this subject as many believe the artificial sweeteners affect your body's ability to shed fat. Also, be certain to watch the amount of sodium in the soda as you near showtime.

Haha - yes, I'm not a fan of ketchup so I've taken to putting Nandos peri-peri sauce in with mine - spicy as hell and gives the meal some great taste.

Hey why dont you invite Nasser to have his own sticky here on the positive board so he can answer various questions from time to time. It should be awesome.

Well, except from the "Team Nasser" stuff, which i am negative about...

it should be a "golden" add into GB community.

In all seriousness and all bulshit aside from the Gossip and Opinions.

Some Diet Sodas have Aspartame,which can stimulate appetite.Drinking Diet 7up always seems to make me hungrier

Meso_z · « **Reply #19 on:** March 01, 2009, 03:49:10 AM »

what about some claims about aspartame lowers fat loss rate?

wild willie · « **Reply #20 on:** March 31, 2009, 08:11:26 AM »

I personally enjoy iced tea over diet sodas!

wild willie · « **Reply #24 on:** April 07, 2009, 02:14:24 PM »
