Diet Coke during the 2ww??

[happyheart]

Hello :)

I was wondering your thoughts on drinking diet coke (caffiene free) during the 2ww??

I want to try my best to keep my blood sugar low.... just trying to figure out how I am going to do that..

Thank you! :)

I drank it during 2ww. Curious what opinions are.

I think diet coke is for lowering pH with the aspartame isn't it? I'm still drinking it out of habit but I'm not guzzling it like I was leading up to our attempt.

It is ok in sane amounts during the 2WW. I would not drink it the way that they tell people to on IG, when PUPO (or frankly, even when NOT PUPO.)

[zanacal]

I'm stumped - PUPO?!

Pregnant until proven otherwise, so you can't do anything that could jeopardize a potential pregnancy like taking bad supps or drinking the freaking insane amounts of Crystal Light that some people do.

OK, I like that, I'll consider myself PUPO for the next few days at least :D

I did cut way back on aspartame during the 2ww. Or for me the 11 days until a BFP then I ditched it for good. Yay! I rarely ever drank soda before the sway now I am having hard time not wanting a soda. Having a sugary soda right now in fact. :)

[zanacal]

Me too! I've had 2 cans today and that's cutting back. I'm really going to have to find something healthier to drink once I'm preggers!

I am slowly weaning myself. I converted back to hot tea a couple times a day like I always have and that seems to have helped with my soda addiction.

Hmm, I have always drank diet pop in the tww. I never go crazy, but I have a couple each day. I just don't want the calories from regular pop.

Thank you all for the posts!!! I was never a pop drinker before the sway and now I look forward to them!!

That is just fine, tweedle!! It's just that on some other sites, they are telling people to ingest A LOT of aspartame. Like, they take Crystal Light and add several packets of Equal to it. And that just doesn't feel like a good thing to me for someone who may have a baby on board. There's a big difference between dietary intake and "OMG what are you thinking" intake.

I hope it's a permanent (well at least in the short term) condition!!

AF arrived for me this morning and I'm bummed because I was hoping we could be preggo pals. :)

[zanacal]

Aww, I would have loved that! Keep at it gal :D

My work colleagues no doubt gossip that I AM permanently pregnant!
