Soda is junk and doesn't belong in a "healthy" diet

It shouldn't hinder your diet. It might, but I doubt it. How's that
for an answer? Don't sweat the small stuff.

When i started atkins i knew that soda pop was one of the major issues i
faced (i drank up to 3 a day) then and there i told myself to cut it out and
I haven't had one in almost 2 years.  as for does it work with atkins, i
believe yes depending on the sweetner, but you'll want to cut it out in the
induction phase altogether

 5 years LCing and I drink tons of diet soda with no probs.... that said,
water is still the best.

It don't affect Atkins at all.
He's DEAD !!!
He died from eating a low carb diet...

What part of the word DEAD do you not understand?

Everybody says that diet soft drinks cause stalls, but I have no problem
with them.

If I didn't use Caffeine Free Diet Coke, I would have real trouble getting
the large volume of fluids per day that dieters supposedly need.

YMMV

It may or may not; it's how you tolerate it.

The caffine (if you drink that kind) isn't all that good for you, and
it makes some people more hungry.

The sweetener (aspartame) gives some people carb cravings.  My doctor
recommended that I not drink Diet Coke for that reason.  However, I
have been finding that it helps me STOP a craving when I'm
sweet-seeking.

I would recommend that you cut back; make Diet Coke something you
drink 1 or 2 of a day rather than your typical source of liquids.
Water is the best thing for you to drink.

Not only does it make it more special when you drink it... assuming
you DO drink the caffinated version, it makes caffiene work for you as
an alertness drug again!  I know that when I (on rare occasions) drink
a caffinated Diet Coke, I really feel it.  Which is important when you
have to stay awake driving or otherwise perform when you might be a
little tired or sleep-deprived.

However, I had cut out the caffiene many years ago, but started
low-carbing just this year.
