Keto and Coke Zero

Does Coke Zero or other Diet Sodas' Fit with Keto?

 

Nutritionally, yes. Basically because it has no nutritional value. 

 

But for many people it is detrimental, as it gives them cravings for sweet things. One of the main benefits of being on a Keto diet is the fact that you break the sugar craving cycle. By drinking Coke Zero which I  admit I did previously enjoy,  you are just working against yourself in eliminating that need for sweet sugary like fixes.

 

 

Both diet coke and coke zero contain aspartame. 

 

Aspartame is an artificial sweetener.

Aspartame is highly controversial. All things considered, although there have been many claims and many studies there is no good evidence to claim that aspartame is harmful. However, it is impossible to rule out some rare cases of real aspartame sensitivity or allergy.

If you feel like you have an adverse reaction to aspartame, then simply avoid it.

My advice and this is coming from an old school die hard coke and coke zero junkie - (the sweeter the better) - Just drink water. Water  has no fake sugar,  and actually hydrates you.

Keep the artificial sweeteners to a minimum. I  do enjoy a little stevia here and there but I keep it to a minimum and only as a very, very small treat.  i.e. Keto walnut fudge - love that Keto fudge!
