CBachelor17Membercan i drink diet sodas while on CNS or not?I don't recommend them. also it is not clear in the book whether or not i can have vegetables during the first 9 days or notYes, the books gives charts of vegetables that are acceptable.. do i just strictly follow the menu or can i have what i want as long as i keep the carbs to under 30.The meals in the book are examples. Have what you want. All your carbs should be trace from meat and vegetables. I wouldn't go over 10 in a meal. btw, its day 1 and my stomach is growling.Than eat something 😛

Can't get much better than that! The ingredient from diet soda's that is detremental is Ace K (Acesulfame potassium).http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acesulfame_potassiumRB

Jared WilkinsonParticipantDiet sodas seem to be person to person. If you aren't losing and you drink them, then stop. I'm still losing and I usually drink one a day.

Diet Cole doesn't have AceK. Not sure if there are others that don't or not. Diet Pepsi does have it.

RoadblockParticipantI went to the grocery store last weekend and looked at Diet Pepsi, Diet Coke, Diet 7-Up, Diet Sprite, Diet Gingerale, and even the store brand Diet soda. All had Ace K. I was getting tired of just drinking water all the time so I was looking for a change and was out of luck. Might be Canada only, but that's what I saw at the store myself.RB

Yes you can. Nut butters can cause a stall in some people. I eat a tablespoon a day or so. Remember to keep it under 10 carbs per meal.

CBachelor17MemberAbout the Soda, why drink them and “see” if they make you stall or not. When you could just avoid them and avoid the possibility? Just throwing it out there.

GnomerParticipantI have a diet soda every now and then and it doesn't hurt my progress. Everyone is different.
October 27, 2013 at 5:17 pm #207473
CBachelor17MemberIndeed, I'm just saying that if you can go without it you might as well. That way there is no issue and if you see a stall or lack in progress you have one less thing to consider.

Because people enjoy drinking it? If you can find out you can handle it, that's one less thing you have to sacrifice.

Very true as well.

I do think it's something that should be eliminated. I do love diet soda (or pop where I am from), but it is completely unnecessary. I don't really think artificial sweeteners are rather benign, but it's just a waste of money. You could use that money to upgrade your meats and eggs.
