Diet Soda as a Dieting Aid
Diet soda is what many people turn to when
they are looking for a lower calorie alternative to sugary, high calorie
sodas. While certainly not healthier than regular sodas, diet sodas are
sugar free and often have no calories. They are a viable alternative for
those looking to cut calories for weight loss, or for diabetics. However,
just because a person drinks diet soda, that does not mean that they will
lose weight. In fact, they might even find themselves gaining weight. There are really no health benefits to drinking diet sodas over their sugary
counterparts, other than calorie reduction because of their lack of calories
and sugar. Many diet sodas are loaded with caffeine, a stimulant that helps
perk you up and keep you alert temporarily. Caffeine has been shown to cause
(in large doses) a temporary increase in high blood pressure, sleep
problems, and it can aggravate irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Caffeine is
also a diuretic, which will cause an increase in the need to urinate.
Drinking more caffeinated soda than water can lead to
dehydration.
