Does diet soda make you hungry?

I swear, it does me. Anyone else feel this way. Oh! I forgot–we aren’t supposed to drink anything with fizz except a post race beer or champagne.

Yes it does. I think it’s a reaction to the sweetness – the body is expecting calories, and when it doesn’t get them, it goes into hunger mode.

You shouldn’t be drinking that crap anyways, right?

actually it fills me up, that’s why I drink it! :slight_smile:

it absolutely makes me hungrier and also makes me crave sugary goodness.

and i’m talking about caffeine free diet coke especially. i expect something from a regular diet coke caffeine blood sugar low…but CFDC?

Healthy or not healthy, I almost always get a diet coke with meals when I eat out. Typically, since refills are generally free, I’ll drink maybe two glasses before the meal and maybe another two during. This will fill me up enough that I have leftovers to take home and eat the next day.

But, to answer your question, no it doesn’t make me hungry.

I do not by sodas diet or otherwise for home consumption. Lots of water to rehydrate and Cytomax banana yogurt shakes for recovery.
