Sugar free soft drink
« 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

Yer I'm not from the states and we dont have like a big market for that stuff here. They have like coke zero which has 1.8 calories. Is this stuff still alright?

Cheers

Go ahead with a few cans a day, there is artificial sweetners and some sodium but other then that it's fine.

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

According to Melvin Anthony (BFTO 2003) Crystal Light eats away your stomach lining.

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.

i tried coke zero today for the first time and i think it tastes worse that regular diet coke.  chalk another one up for crystal light or sugar free tang.

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