The Heavily Contested Beverage: Coke Zero

[Fay737731]

My wife and I have different consultants and they both differ on their opinion of if we are allowed Coke Zero.

Nic's Consultant: up to Two cans of Coke Zero a day but no Diet Coke
My Consultant: it's a heavily contested topic but she would prefer it if I didn't have any

I am curious to know what other peoples consultants have said so I am setting up a vote...

For other please comment...

I'll ask my CWPC tonight and come back to this.

In the steps book diet drinks are only included from step 2 (810) upwards so the official stance for SS or SS+ would be none at all

Ultimately its your choice. Other vlcds DO allow Coke Zero etc from the outset on their equivalent of SS so its not going to affect your weight loss or ketosis. Just depends if you want to stick to CD rules

I've heard that although zero won't knock you out of keto due to there being no citric acid they say no because the sweetener boosts appetite. I don't think it's worth risking it for a glass of chemicals tbh.

Zero isn't classed as a diet drink because it contains no citric acid which is why it is contested...

My CWPC said that officially, on SS or SS+ you can't have either, as it may boost your cravings for food, but ultimately it will not make a difference to your weight loss.
