Whilst looking through the labels on soft drinks at our local super market i noticed that diet coke has no carbs. I realized then that i still couldn't have it because of the caffine, but then noticed they did caffine free diet coke. So someone please tell me is this allowed on Atkins?


I had a glass tonight and enjoyed it so much, but am afraid to have anymore until i know for sure. Also can anyone tell me where i can buy some low carb products in Cornwall England?

I am not really missing bread, but just one morning i would love to have a slice of toast. I saw an advert somewhere low carb bread for sale £6.00 a loaf, is that really the price of it?


Thanks

The 'bad' thing about Coke is not only the caffeine, it's the sweetener called aspartame that most people try to avoid. I know that for me, I got headaches when I drank too much drinks with that particular sweetener. I now drink sodas that use the sweetener called Splenda. I'm not saying not to drink Coke, but be aware of aspartame. Go to the search button for more info in this board about aspartame.

Good Luck

very helpful information. I will finish this bottle, and drink no more. Will look for more information on that particular sweetner.

thanks again

hey,
aspertame also stalls some during weight loss. the best thing to drink is water, but if your like me you get bored with it. you can drink diet rite and diet rite products. they contain no sodium, aspertame, carbs, caffiene. and they taste pretty good.

Where can i get these diet right drinks. I am from England and haven't seen anything by that name.

I drink lots of water, but just now and again it would be nice to have a cold coke with lemon.

Thanks for your reply

you can get diet rite drinks from the low carb megastore uk. i,ve never seen it in the shops here.

Actually Roza I would double check the ingredients since I think over there in Europe, the sodas are sweetened with saccharin which is ok to use - well better than aspartame.

Diet Rite ROCKS!!!!!!!! And so many flavors too!
SWEET!!!!!
Best to all;
