Diet coke doesn't really help you diet, it just makes things worst as it causes a spike in insulin levels, which causes more calories to be stored in the cells, including fat cells. Because insulin eats blood sugar, this also causes temporary hypoglycemia, which will lead to a craving for sugary food to restore the balance. Hence, the overall effect of diet soda is a tendency toward weight gain, not loss. Also diet coke only works in diabetic diets.
So if your out at a fastfood joint, skip the diet coke and order a regular cola. Unless your diabetic.
