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?!

[atomic sagebrush]

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

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.

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.
