A member asked:
Is it ok to drink diet soda on a diet?
9 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
NO!!! MAKES YOU FAT!: Diet soda is extremely toxic & one of the least healthy "foods" you can ingest. The chemical sweeteners can cause a myriad of serious health problems & are proven to cause weight gain. Anyone interested in being healthy should never drink these! see http://kimberlysnyder.Net/blog/2011/12/01/8-dangers-of-diet-soda/ also see comment for new info that these drinks may increase risk of cancer!

Should be OK.: I believe you are talking something that has zero calories. Will certainly not interfere.

Water is best: Its best to drink water on a diet to help clean the kidney and liver as you start to metabolize fat.
