Why would diet soda make you stall?

[flpooh19701]

I continue with diet pepsi.. with aspartame.. because 1. I personally don't believe that splenda is any better than aspartame and to me it just tastes nasty. 2. It hasn't stalled me. Keep in mind I still count it as one of my 3 sweetener servings, I don't substitute it for the water that I drink and I don't even drink it every day. Also, I keep in mind that one day I may have to cut it out completely if I start to stall. I have gone a week without a soda and then tried to drink one and thought it was way too sweet. Ended up pouring it out.

Supposedly any cola is high in phosphorus and subsequently bad for bone density (apparently, it upsets the calcium/magnesium balance somehow); since osteoporosis runs in the family, I'm avoiding colas. But a Diet Rite Tangerine soda (sweetened with Splenda) is a nice occasional treat Don't think it's hampering my weight loss ... although I'm purposely avoiding the scales until I've done the program a full month (Sept. 1), my pants are getting looser and the belly bloat is beginning to disappear. Plus, I feel good! Wish I'd done this years ago.
