Diet Soda
One the most recent questions asked was: Can I dink Diet Soda?
If you can thrive without them, by all means drop them as soon as possible...
Drink Water!
Carry on!
But most people who are able to do that...
Those people don't ask these kinds of questions.
People who ask this question, need their soda.
Are you following me here?
A typical person who would ask a question like this isn't just going to put down the carbonated beverage forever and never look back. They've probably tried to quit soda before and failed hard.
No shame.
So, my answer to someone asking this is...
Hell Yes!
You can drink diet sodas on keto if you are drinking normal sodas. But this is not a permission to guzzle gallons of sucralose or aspartame a day. I want you to get off those diet sodas ASAP!
Switch from soda to diet.
But as soon as you transitioned to diet, pivot again to something like sparkling or flavored carbonated water. That way, if you relapse, you're likely to fall back into diet soda from sparkling water. You are so much less likely to chug a liter of the hard stuff.
Sure, ideally yes, we want you to drift toward natural spring water with a sprinkle of pink Himalayan salt... But let's be real. Let's be honest. That's not a single step transition.
