Common Questions and Answers about Diet soda retain water
diet
Ok, so I cut regular soda out of my diet. I normally drink water, diet can iced tea (or fresh) and seltzer. Now my question is.... is diet soda OK in moderation? Like when me and my bf go to a mall, water gets so boring and the fast food places generally never have seltzer water. So therefore I'm forced with diet soda (YUCK). Is it ok just on the weekends? I mean I guess I'm doing something right, I've lost 30.5bs since 9/14 (not even 3 months yet) and still have another 12.
What is everyone's thoughts on drinking diet soda? I know they say to stay away from artificial sugars, but I've been drinking diet soda forever & I'm having a hard time giving it up. Is one a day bad?
Diet and decaf are the worse no matter if you're pregnant or not. I like fizzy drinks so it doesn't have to be soda. Maybe find a different alternative?
I have an addiction. ..nothing to bad its just pop (soda).. i cant shake this i really feel myself getting mad if i dont get it. .with out it my baby kicks like it needs a hit...
I don't understand this. I retain so much water. I'm afraid to drink water because I don't go to the bathroom to flush it out enough. I checked my thyroid, I have hypo, and on a very low does. Spoke to my dr. yesterday and he said it's not the thyroid. I do have a fibroid, which is on top of my bladder, but my dr suggest I wait till I go through menapause, it will shrink. That could be another five years. I sit all day. I limit myself wtih salt.
If it is not diet soda, that is one heck of a sugar load. I think it is the equivalent to 12 teaspoons of sugar in a 12-ounce can. And unfortunately, if it is diet soda, it is loaded with chemicals. Hate to say it because the sugar gives you a higher diabetes risk and a higher risk that your child will later on develop diabetes, and the chemicals are just nasty for you. Can you taper off by cutting the soda in half with sparkling water?
Your body requires a healthy amount of all of these but high intake of sugar and sodium will cause you to retain more water weight obviously counteracting your desire for stomach definition. Isolating muscle groups during weight training 4-5 times a weeks is actually far more effective than whole body training 3 times per week. Your body requires rest and youre body is going to get used to full body workouts since theyre is only so many different things you can do.
Just don't drink to much. 1-2 cans a day but make sure you drink a lot of water. I have a diet dr pepper thing I can't kick and I wasn't drinking but 4 cups of water and my fluids aren't where they should be. So just drink a lot of water even if it dosnt taste good.
I gave up all pop once I realized how much
sugar is in a glass of pop. Diet soda is even worse. Most diet soda
has an ingredient in it called Aspartame. Did you know that one of the
ingredients of aspartame is wood alchohol. No joke. I researched aspartame and discovered this. Wood alcohol is actually a poison. Also the more
diet soda you drink, the greater your craving for sugar is. Soda is also
very bad for your intestines.
I'm the same. I'm never thirsty. I can go many days without any liquids at all. I never drink with my meals. I forced myself to drink the minimum required a day when I was pregnant and breast feeding and was nauseous when I did but stopped when I was done with that. All my life I would only use the restroom twice a day (when I 1st wake up and just before going to bed).
I LOVE high fructose corn syrup!!
I just started slowly switching one coke or soda for a diet or zero and then also adding a glass of water. I hate water but I drink flavored water. I also loved sweetened teas! I started cutting back on the sugar. Now I can say that I drink one diet or zero soda a day. Unsweetened tea and mostly water. I started all this in January this year. I have lost 34 lbs.
It's hard but you can do it.
The sugar can add up though as will the sodium.
A ''starvation diet" is very very bad on your body. Just because your are losing weight, doesn't mean you are healthy. When you are done with your ''starvation diet'' once you start eating again, you will just gain the weight back. Plus, soda isn't good for you, it has a lot of sodium, which will make you retain water, even diet soda.
Soak your feet in warm
Carbonated mineral water with a bit of fresh fruit (lemon, lime, orange) makes the transition much easier. When I grew tired of buying mineral water, I used the Soda Stream to make my own fizzy water. If you're really attached to the flavor of sodas, you might consider using a few drops of flavored Stevia. It comes in root beer, cream soda, and other flavors.
LOL no. It's water. Water is water. Drinking lots of water in general will help with water retention. But sometimes no matter what you do or how much you drink you're going to retain water!
