\nAnother question from a reader: Do you think diet sodas are linked to overeating?<\/i><\/p>\n

Yes. Great question. Speaking again from my experience, and working with people for many years, I think diet sodas are a disaster for several reasons. Here are a few.<\/p>\n

Diet sodas may make you think you can eat more. If you are saving so
\nmany calories, gosh, “That extra helping or sweet indulgence won’t
\nmatter,” you may say. Someone in my Kripalu Joy of Weight Loss workshop
\nsaid the other day, “I get the big size fries when I order a giant
\nburger and diet soda in the drive thru.”<\/p>\n

I have also experienced getting very thirsty (and hungry) after a diet
\nsoda. Maybe it’s the chemicals and the ton of salt in them.<\/p>\n

One reader said she gave up diet sodas for a spiritual fast. Not only
\ndid it help her “keep focused on the Lord,” she wrote, she also didn’t
\neat as much.
\nMany folks tell me they get headaches, body aches, and dizziness from
\ndiet drinks. Besides, I think they taste awful, don’t you?<\/p>\n

Try my solution instead: I drink seltzer (salt free) with a squeeze of
\nlemon or lime or a shot of fruit juice in it, instead.
