Diet Coke sweetened w/splenda???

Yah or Nah on Induction phase? ensive

I believe Diet Coke w/ Splenda has caffeine so the answer is no.

Darn caffiene! I so love diet coke...oh well more water! :capital

Well so does Diet Rite and the book does say that you can have an occasional coke sweetened with splenda does it not?
I gave my book to a friend after I failed the last time which has been over a year ago so I thought that is what it said.
Last time I did drink the diet rite, it tasted awful though but I did still lose weight. Caffeine doesn't affect my weightloss so would it be ok for an occasional one you think?

I would say go for it since caffiene is not a problem...I would like to have a diet coke(which is coming out with splenda) but I am so addicted to it I just am not going to even try one. :guns

Dr. Atkins suggested that we all give up caffeine and also stated that excessive caffeine use can cause unstable blood sugar. I'd suggest that for at least your two week induction period, try to give it up. See how you feel! Ultimately the decision is yours. Remember that any soda, coffee, tea etc. can't be used toward your daily water intake and also we get three servings of of artificial sweetener a day so count the soda or whatever into that allotment. You'll have to read the can to see how many servings there are could be one, could be more per can.

MontanaRebel...I tried quating your reply but I am just not computer savy anyhow I myself hated diet coke but when I seen the new one I figured I"d give it a shot cause it wouldn't hurt. I am addicted now. Even before any diet I was on. The only thing is that around here they don't keep it in stock much and when it runs out I have to wait a week or so for more! :anger Oh well, I guess that's good now that I am on induction phase.

Diet Rite has no caffeine

:smackhead For some unknown reason I thought it did...boy do I feel dumb..oh well I still think an occasional one won't hurt. I don't want the caffeine withdrawel headaches. Plus I got 3 boys so yes i do need some caffeine, Thanks for your replys :wave

You'd be suprised of how much energy you will have after just a week on Atkins. You won't even need caffiene!

I tried the Diet Coke w/ Splenda today. Honestly, it tasted flat. I never liked Diet Anything really. I'll finish this bottle, but then I think I'll stick to Diet Rite. I hated it to start with, but I can tolerate it now.

[ChunckyDumplin]

I have been drinking diet coke and diet rite through atkins, its going to be a lifetime thing for me, so i have my damn diet drinks. It does NOT bother my weight loss what so ever. I of course drink my water, but I have my diet drinks as well... Doest seem to bother me, never has.. Alot better than what I used to drink LOL.

Don't waste your time on Diet Coke with Splenda (or even Pepsi Edge). I had a sip at a barbecue yesterday---it was flat and had a funny aftertaste.

Say it isn't so!!! :sadblinky

[foxy]

Just a thought but what about caffeine free diet cola???

Still fizzy pop, but without the caffeine!!

I took it as you couldn't have caffeine as it makes you crave sugar? Maybe i'm wrong!

MontanaRebel, if you want i will find out how much postage would be on a couple of bottles and ship them out to you! :ThumbsUp Seeing as you crave them so!!!
