It shouldn't totally me you up, sometimes it can stall a person, but just up your water and eat the right foods and you should be fine in a day or so. k :wave

Diet coke wont throw ya outa ketosis will it? Never really thought of it (I only drink water (80-100oz) and maybe 1 glass of diet ice tea a day.

It hasn't thrown me out of ketosis, but I only have some once in while when i really need something different than water for a change. i actually went out and got a big box of herbal fruit teas so i can get away from diet pop and crystal light. i don't really want to be taking in any aspartame at all. i don't think i've been stalled due to it, but don't want to find out the hard way. it was bad enough to stall for a week due my TOM.

Personally, I drink ALOT of diet pop and it doesn't adversely affect me at all. It stalls some people, but I seriously doubt that it throws a person out of ketosis.

I'm thinkin the same thing. Your limited on sweeteners a day.

Pop is insidious thing. Not only are not drinking your water and not likely to drink as much for the day, it also contains caffiene which can do whacky things to your glucose levels and cause cravings. Giving up my 4l per day Diet Dew habit was one of the best things I did on this WOE. One diet coke won't throw you off, but making a habit of it, I might have other concerns. This is the same reason I also don't have mock danishes each day.

To answer your question, I am probably having way too much. Maybe like two 20 ounce bottles per day or more. I don't drink as many as I use to since I've started drinking more water. But I love diet vanila coke and as long as I do well with my weight loss, I don't see a reason to deprive myself.

By the way, I lost 11 pounds last week.

I too can't put the Soda down.... I drink about 3 12oz cans a day.. sometimes more, never less... My fiance drinks a 12 pack a day... at least its not beer... :confused So anyhow, I know where you are comming from.
