Keto - Diet Coke & Sugar Free Squash

I know that the purist keto diet avoids Diet Coke etc. But some articles seem to think it's ok in moderation. Has anyone successfully lost weight on the keto diet while drinking diet sodas and sugar free squash?

This article seems to say it's ok...

Yes, three stone. I couldn't live without Diet Coke. It didn't affect ketosis or weight loss for me at all. I had Natvia in my tea/coffee too.

I was just interested to see if anyone had lost weight while drinking diet drinks. Or if anyone switched during Keto from drinking diet drinks to just water etc and lost more weight?

I don't want to undo my good work...but I do love a Diet Coke and glass of sugar free orange squash! 🙈

I know a couple who both low carbed and lost a lot of weight. They were always chugging diet drinks tbh. It definitely didn’t seem to impede their weight loss. Maybe not great in terms of general health, but in moderation I’d say crack on!

@SteveHadTheRightIdea Thank you! I won't be chugging. But I do enjoy a Diet Coke... and some sugar free squash when i need a little bit of sweetness.

I also love Diet Coke. No judgement here! And Sprite Zero. It's my guilty pleasure 😂.

I live on Pepsi Max and lost 3 stone on keto. It doesn't affect ketosis.

And Fanta sugar free

I am doing keto and have lost half a stone (only been on it a couple of weeks) - I've been drinking loads of sugar free squash. I love the stuff! Smile

Tailfeather · 08/08/2019 23:12

Yay! Thanks everyone. I think if all I could drink was water I'd find it harder to stick to. I was worried because I bought urine strips to test and they weren't showing I was in ketosis. But they are now. 🤞🤞🤞

@Tailfeather and don't forget the Keto staple dessert of Hartleys sugar free jelly Grin

MrsBobBlackadder · 09/08/2019 07:54

I forgot we can have that jelly! Grin

Tailfeather · 09/08/2019 08:26

@flissity Oooh! Thanks! I've been having a square of very dark chocolate. That's a great shout. I had gestational diabetes when I was pregnant and lived on those!!
