What are your guys opinions on Diet Soda while on a cut? I've just started drinking a lot of Diet Dr Pepper Cherry Vanila and Diet Pepsi Lime, for the caffeine and taste. I actually enjoy the taste more than normal pop, cause I'm not too big on things that are overly sweet.

But it seems a little too good to be true? I mean 0carb 0fat +caffeine, with instant sugar/hunger appetite suppression, there has to be SOMETHING wrong with it.

Is there some kind of extreme insulin spike? It's just hard for me to believe I'm drinking all this pop and my cutting isn't being affected at all, it's frickin great.

Pop - you must be from up north.

you should be alright and not have problems from the diet sodas. Although many people believe that carbonated drink basically lower the protein absorption. I have never seen any studies for this, but it should be negligible if it indeed happens. Try the sugar free crystal light, awesome.

What you don't get is when you get down deep enough, there is no other brand. Try and find a Pepsi machine in Atlanta. Heh. There are parts of town where EVERYTHING is named after a Woodruff or one of the other Coke men.

Funny all the variations.

The people who really crack me up are the ones who say "teeter totter." No, it's a "see saw," nitwit!

Most of the northeast says soda. In NY, east of Rochester says soda, while Rochester westward says pop.

I'm from Syracuse and when people say pop it's like nails on a chalkboard.

/karp

I am from Jersey, like 5 minutes from NYC and we city boys say SODA! Pop seems so weird and when we say coke we mean Coca-Cola!

pop is fag dancers like nsync. Coke is what all soda's are called, you then specify what type you want.

i remember one time my friends and i were in dallas and we stopped to eat. When i told the waitress i wanted a coke and she asked me what kind, i just wanted to punch her right in the ovaries.... Jeez, there's only one kind.

[knox]

in Kansas the majority use pop. I do hear soda used sometimes. But in kansas pop, milk, water, or beer can be confused with whiskey....lol

You see, Coke is a brand. It would be like going to a car dealership, asking for a Beatle, and then being upset when he only showed you Beatles. "I was thinking something more along the lines of an SUV type Beatle." WTF?

If anyone ever asks me "what kind" when I ask for a coke or diet coke, I would have to be like "What kind? What do you mean what kind? Go get me a ****ing coke."

In Boston we call it soda, but for some reason most Bostonians say So-der. Weird. They drop the r where it should be, as in "cah", but add it where it doesn't belong, "idear". Not the sharpest lot around here. It actually comes down to a laziness of pronounciation. If you pay attention to the different pronounciations you'll notice that it is easier to leaver car "open", "cah". OTOH, pronouncing two consecutive long vowels (idea) is more complicated then one short followed by a consonant...hence "idear". For some reason I don't have a Boston accent despite having lived here my whole life. Maybe it has to do with the fact that I think about **** like what I just posted.

Down herre in the Dirrrty Souph, we say coke for everything, y'all.

They ain't no Pepsi.

Now that I've done my tangent, bump on the issue of possible fat loss interference from diet soda.
