Caffeine Free Diet Soda while cutting? Does this hinder you at all? What about between meals consumption. Any concerns with Aspartame levels when you drink a Two litter a day?

I personally don't think so however somewhere in Chris Acetos thread I believe he talks about the body seeing the sweetener as sugar since it is sweet and possibly acting negatively... However, pre contest, diet pop is my saviour.

Although I don't pound 2 liters.. maybe 3 or 4 cans atm.(at the most) not (ass to mouth)lol.

I drank a 2 liter bottle of diet Mt Dew all through contest prep. I also drank my gallon of water. There were times that diet MD saved me when I was craving big time. Made no difference in weightloss.

But why not drink more water and less soda? I had about 3-4 cans but I think 2 liters is overkill. Not that it will hinder losing but come on people your dieting its supposed to be hard. I ended up drinking almost 3g a day instead of the large amounts of soda.

My contest pre was 28 weeks long. By the last 8 weeks I was so ready so ready to be done! By the end I was tired of being so restricted and I was craving. Diet MD kept me from cheating.

I don't care what anyone says, you have to have a crutch when dieting.

I agree. My crutch was diet soda. Also, sugar free jello but only on nights I worked late and had no meals left.

If you are using Clen, aspartame is not a problem- if you aren't or have a slow metabolism, it can be. The Atkins Center has said aspartame interferes with the conversion of body fat to energy while on a Ketogenic protocol...

The Atkins institute also says bacon and butter are fine for dieting. I don't think I'd be too worried about what they have to say.

I would say it's okay only because I drink 2 gallons of water with crystal light in them for flavor and there's aspertame in that....
