Anyone read anything about the detriments of drinking diet sodas while doing P90x? I drink a ton of water but like to have an occasional diet pepsi. Any thoughts on the effects?

Judging from the nutritional information, there is nothing bad about it:

That's what I thought. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something. Thanks for responding!

I would limit them as much as possible. I've read a lot of good articles detailing diet sodas, and while they may be calorie / sugar free, it doesn't mean they don't have negative affects on you. I can't remember the specifics but I'm sure if you googled it you could find more info. But 1 every now and then certainly isn't going to kill you!

I also read a really good article a few months back about the mental effect of diet soda. When you drink a diet soda you feel and think that you're getting a rush of sugar because of the sweetness of the drink, but when the body doesn't actually receive the sugar it thinks is coming it sends out cravings for it which then leads to binge snacking on things we shouldn't be eating. I'm not sure what the science says about that but I know it was true with me. I haven't had a soda since september '08 and noticed a difference immiedately...from the mental side of things.

I see. Wow that's great info.. thanks!

anything that has high fructose corn syrup is no good. Its a killer. Grab a water with lemon or squeeze some raspberry juice into some water instead.
