What's the logic behind not drinking diet soda when cutting?
There is no benefit.
>>36522078
There isn't really any. There's some vague evidence that the phosphoric acid can decrease bone density in old ladies, but that's about it. Aspartame does not cause an insulin response. Caffeine will increase your TDEE.
>>36522097
Correct. The biggest "risk" is that you become habituated to consuming sweet stuff.
>>36522106
So this is it?
what about gum?
>>36522078
There is none. Its people who have been on /fit/ too long and try to 1up each other at how "healthy" they eat.
Its like r9k tries to 1up each other at how pathetic they are. There is no logic to it, its appearantly just what men do when theyre anonymous.
>Drinking carbonated acid water with splenda in it
Drink water fags
>drinking dihyrdogen monoxide

Im not sure if its broscience or not but the general consensous is that drinking something that has artficial sweetener it causes your body to brace for an inslin spike that never happebs which nakes your body crave sweets until you get one.
>just drink water fgt
>>36522106
>>36522386
>incoming broscience
I think I read of /fit/ somewhere that artificial sweeteners can make you crave real sugar because your blood sugar doesn't rise even though your tongue tasted a sweetness.
Something like you trick your body into preparing to digest sugar and then not getting sugar makes it makes it say oh shit low on sugar.
What's the logic behind not drinking regular soda while cutting?
Artificial sweeteners acutely increase the activity of ghrelin and similar receptors in the gut. There is no insulin response, it will just make you more likely to eat more than otherwise if you eat a meal around the same time and eat to satiation as opposed to x amount of calories.

>7-11
lmao
There's basically a bunch of vague unsubstantiated claims that it might be bad for it. Maybe something will eventually be proven but people have been drinking it for decades and there's still nothing to point too.
>>36522078
Diet soda is OK, but not super good for your teeth. Definitely much better than regular soda though.
>>36522078
only thing you should be drinking is water, faggot
>something something artificial sweeteners something something fat gain something something bad chemicals
That being said, I don't drink anything but water, coffee, and tea even while bulking
>>36522078
Retard logic. Diet soda and artificial sweeteners are safe in huge (undrinkable) quantities. There's this idea that artificial sweeteners trigger an insulin response, but that's retarded for 3 reasons
> it doesn't happen with aspartame, the single most common sweetener of diet sodas
> it only happens in the presence of glucose, which diet soda does not contain or metabolize to
> it's small and if there's no excess glucose in your blood it doesn't matter
If drinking something "sweet" makes it hard for you to stick to your diet, don't drink diet soda. But I find that diet soda helps stick to my diet by giving me something to consume instead of calories.
>diet soda
>>36522078
Because it means you're a weak pussy faggot who's capitulating immediately and doesn't have the strength of will to just drink NORMAL FUCKING WATER like a NORMAL FUCKING PERSON.
Babby so desperate for his sweet drink from the capitalist teat of corporate america he can't go five seconds, even while LITERALLY TRYING TO LOSE WEIGHT, drinking only water- THE THING HIS ENTIRE FUCKING PHYLUM EVOLVED TO SOLELY RELY UPON

>>36525086
Why arbitrarily avoid zero calorie sweet tasty fizzy water, while taking advantage of the rest of what modern civilization has to offer?
>>36525106
Because muh self-control and muh strong will. Take cold showers and only eat soylent. Enjoying things is for fags
>>36525122
SOYLENT? What kind of weak ass punk eats food you don't have to kill yourself, cooked on a fire made with wood you chopped yourself (with an axe you made yourself) lit by rubbing two sticks together?
I'm not against DIY or disciple if it makes you happy or makes you a more effective person, but civilization is awesome and in general we need people to do it more, not less. Moralizing about what's convenient and what's "natural" doesn't help anyone.
There is not logic, only fedoralords who think that "strong will" is what you need to get through a cut and if you consume a zero calorie drink your cut goes to shit.
In reality it's just soda with the same bad effects as normal soda (teeth wise), just without the insane amounts of garbage calories which you can take on your cut to make it more tolerable.
>>36522740
>it will just make you more likely to eat more than otherwise
so plan all of your meals and you don't have a problem
Meh, rather just stay away since it's easier just getting rid of your sweet tooth, and if you happen to crave a diet soda but don't have anything at home you might slip on your diet and eat something thats not 0 kcal. But if you're gonna drink anything drink that. Also good when mixing drinks.
>>36522078
as others have said, its mostly because it keeps you craving sweet shit
drink water or coffee you weak willed faggot.
>>36522404
Unless you're taking Yohimbine or doing keto it's a negligible amount of sugar/carbs. You usually burn off the calories chewing the shit anyways. Sugar free gum is even better and you should be chewing that anyways because it's better for your teeth
>>36522078
>What's the logic behind not drinking diet soda when cutting?
For me it's because it makes me feel hungry. Not sure if it's placebo or not. If I drink it while cutting, I do it during meals.
The logic is not half-assing shit you fat disgusting piece of shit who ended up the fat lazy fuck that you are because you don't have any goddamn self respect and are always looking for the easy way.
Fucking fat people.
What's the logic behind drinking soda?

Serious question: On a scale from one to Trip Palin, how retarded are you?
>>36527554
>Being this mad
>its a /fit/ pretends soda is addicting and a gateway drug to LE BAD FOOD and not drinking soda (while liking water obviously) takes tremendous willpower and discipline episode
>>36527554
Why so angry, friend? Might want to get that looked at.
It's bad for your teeth and kidneys. Drink something else.
>>36522078
I don't like it, so I don't drink it, that's it. It has nothing to do with cutting. I just don't like the disgustingly chemical and sweet taste of it. It feels like it numbs the taste for everything else. Even apples taste like paper after a glass of Coke Zero. That just isn't right.
I prefer diet pop over regular regardless. I think regular tastes like shit.
Also contrary to what some people think, 40+ grams of sugar will make a difference regardleaa of the rest of your diet.
>>36528516
Your taste buds and inferior pampered mentality are the only things that arent right.
A majority of your drinking should be water as others have said. This is because its a good habit to get into. As someone who was a soda addict I know I absolutely hated the taste of any diet soda. I switched purely to water for 60 days. After that I found that diet soda was actually preferable to regular soda, not in any mass quantities but in small doses it is perfectly fine.

It may make you want it, never has done for me, but as long as you are really weak willed then it should be easy to resist cravings
>>36525046
if neanderthals had access to pepsi and booze they'd be drinking it every day. the reason your mad is because it's hard to avoid eating like shit in modern society. there's no reason to blame people. are you doing something difficult? yes. are you doing something noble? no. get off high horse pls.
