Diet coke & coke zero

[CambridgeKez]

Are these allowed as a one off? For example when socialising in pub? If I were to have 2 or 3 would they kick me out of ketosis? Also what is the difference between DC & CZ? Both look to have same nutritional values?
I've a couple of parties coming up & don't mind no alcohol but don't want to look odd ordering water. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Xxx

ongoing debate this one! they say no and dont touch it but honextly i do if im out because im sick of water and if having the odd diet coke/coke zero helps me stick to not touching something else il have it. If possible if you are going to have it choose coke zero as its the better choice. Diet coke contains citric acid which can stall weight loss or slow it down or even kick you out of ketosis for a bit but ive never had this, i think it depends on the individual. thats my thoughts on it anyway! im sure others may disagree with me but just my opinion on it! x

I think sometimes a little of what you fancy stops you ditching the diet altogether.....

Diet coke contains citric acid which can knock you out of ketosis, so its best avoided. Coke Zero contains malic acid which doesnt

I was a serious coke-addict (in the nicer sense ) and I must admit for the past two weeks I've been having a cheeky can of Coke Zero every other day or so.

It doesn't seem to of affected my weight losses at all, and as Dementia says, if the odd can helps you keep to the diet in the longer term, then I personally think its worth the small risk.
