Coke Zero/Diet Coke is still coke.The term diet tricks people into thinking its better for you but it is not. Diet coke ruins teeth enamel, great for cleaning toilets tho, y well acidic so GERDS sufferers avoid for sure. The aspartame’s in it turns into fat builders they really need to come out with something better. Studies show you gain more on them it’s a corporate ploy I guess you can say. Try other drinks I take 3-4oz tea or juice small amount of sugar with a huge water. I drink the water but sip the tea when I need flavor.I limit myself to only 4-8ounces a day. If you like flavored teas to green or regular can drink without sugars or sweetners then give that a try.
If you find you love veggie drinks like spinach to carrot you can have those too. When I can I pick freash oranges instead of the store brands.

Yes you can. Don’t believe all the baloney that you will hear about aspartame. Yes there have been a few studies as previously mentioned, but they are far FAR from conclusive. Also, the results in various studies are totally contradictory. This points to something else being the culprit for a bad result (weight gain for example) other than aspartame.

Diet drinks and artificial sweeteners are no better or worse for you on keto than they were before. However, bear in mind that like coffee and tea, sodas containing caffeine are diuretics. They can contribute to dehydration, a common problem with Keto. I still enjoy the occasional diet caffeine free soda (yay, root beer!), but I mostly choose electrolyte enhanced drinks when I'm having a no calorie sweet bottled beverage.
