They contain aspartame, which is a sweetener that has had a lot of controversy about it, some say it can even cause cancer! All i know is that it gave me bad headaches and sometimes if i had too much i really felt like i had the flu or something! And apparently, the sweeteners in these drinks can cause you to crave sugar even more :-/ I mean, it's okay to have one every so often, but i mean i was having one or two everyday, which isn't exactly reccomended!
They also contain a lot of chemicals, (how do you think they make 0 calories taste so good?!) which can damage your bones and teeth by making them brittle, which is thevery LAST thing you need when your suffering from anorexia!!
I did a little experiment, and cut out diet coke all together for 2 weeks so far, and honestly my tummy is flatter, A LOT flatter, i feel less groggy, i can feel when by body is properly hungry and so i dont undereat or overeat anymore! And i haven't craved anything sugary for ages, so in my opinion, cut out the diet drinks!! It might do you some more good than you think!
