How do zero calories soft drinks work in relation to weight gain/loss?

Question

Is it safe to drink non-sugary drinks (like coke zero) while on a diet? Or do the artificial sweeteners just make you fat in some sneaky way?

Answer 1

If you have to have a soda yes get the diet one but they still will cause a spike in your blood sugar just like real soda (which can trigger hunger cravings) but wo the calories. From a purely weight loss view diet is better from a health stand point they are both crappy.
