Re: Why shouldn’t you drink diet sodas when trying to lose weight?
Firstly, fizzy drinks can impede weight loss in several ways… people think that by switching to the diet version of a certain fizzy drink will aid your weight loss, but in fact, some scientists have proven that sugar substitutes can have a weight gain effect in the longer term…
Also, aspartame, a sweetener which is present in many of these diet carbonated drinks, makes you HUNGRIER! In fact, i read somewhere that Aspartame in particular is broken down by the body into some pretty nasty stuff that is deposited in our tissues… 
Also, carbonated drinks, especially their diet counterparts, can cause really bad bloating…
