SHOULD WE BE DEMONIZING SUGAR FREE SODA?

NO!

Whether you choose to consume sugar free soda or not, is really going to come down to individual preference, tolerance, and accessibility.

Incorporating diet soda is going to be helpful when aiming to maintain a calorie deficit for fat loss or weight management as it contains zero calories and may create a sense of fullness or satiety, helping to curb those cravings. Plus, those that contain caffeine may provide a mild boost in energy which may positively impact gym performance.

When it may be not so good, is if it leads to any form of GI discomfort or bloating, or if the athletes sensitivity to the sweetener decreases to the point it leads to increased cravings for sugary foods - making prep harder.

So, the response an individual has to sugar free soda varies amongst each athlete. Whilst some may find it helpful in their diet, others may experience adverse impacts - making it more challenging to adhere to the plan.

Whilst unlikely to impact achieving a stage-lean physique on it’s own, as a coach, you will still need to consider how it fits into the athletes overall habits and its potential implications on the athletes well-being and performance.

Use it in moderation and be mindful of drawbacks.
