Many of you have been wondering about weather or not you can drink diet soda on your weight loss journey. Well, this debate has been tossed around for a while, and following is an article that I found which points out the truth behind these cola's and explains just what these beverages can do to you!!!
Is ordering diet soda helping your quest for weight loss? Let's explore the truth behind the label.
Q: I’ve heard diet soda is bad for you. Is this true?
A: Have you ever found yourself ordering a plate of not-so-healthy food, and then asking for a diet whatever to go along with your meal? Ironic, isn’t it, that so many of us think that all manner of dietary infractions can be forgiven if we just manage not to have a sugary soda with our meals or snacks? Well, here it is: diet soda is not good for you, and it might even be worse for you than regular soda.
It’s not the soda so much as the negative the artificial sweeteners it contains.
For starters, because of your body chemistry, drinking the faux-sugar may actually cause you to gain weight – perhaps even more so than having regular old sugar.
In addition to its potential to actually bring about weight gain, soda contains artificial sweeteners that some studies have linked to ill health effects.
The good news is that there are plenty of tasty alternative, once you break your diet soda addiction.
Tea is refreshing and has lots of health benefits. Try making some home made iced tea, or asking for a glass of unsweetened tea when you are at a restaurant.
Squeeze fresh lemon and lime juice into a pitcher of filtered water and top with cucumber slices. Not only is this drink refreshing, but the citrus aids in detoxing your system.
Add add seltzer water to fresh squeezed juice for a sweeter, tasty beverage with a little zing. Use one part juice to two or three parts seltzer.
There’s no reason we can’t all enjoy yummy beverages besides water. The idea is to stay away from harmful additives and synthetic sweeteners that end up causing more harm than good.
Here’s to your good health! And your journey!!
