Does anyone know the story with diet soda? I've been on the diet for nearly four months and have been drinking only water. I started to get sick of just water and went to the site yesterday and noticed an article that said diet sodas were zero carbs except some fruit sodas had hidden carbs. So last night I treated myself to a Diet Coke and was in heaven!

This morning I got on the scale and the kilo that I thought I lost the day before was back again. Other then the soda I thought my eating day was pretty good yesterday- grilled chicken for lunch and the crustless quiche recipe from this site for dinner. I had popcorn last night as well but I have become addicted to popcorn and it hasn't affected my weight loss in the past!

Is the extra kilo just a normal fluctuation (although I often have stand stills I don't often go up) or is the soda actually a no-no? I figure I can keep drinking the soda and if it is still hindering my weight loss I have to drop it but I thought someone here might have had experiences with diet soda or can seperate fact from fiction?
