try some nuts or trailmix – healthier then drinking soda.

Its not very healthy, juice or water is perfered. Interestingly enough, recent research has show that the fake sugar in diet drinks actually make cravings for food or soda more and can actually be counterproductive.

No soda is healthy try drinking water and eat nuts, peanut butter, tuna snacks.

Diet coke is so unhealthy. Drink water or juice. You’re just trying to curb your appetite, and it’s just as filling to drink a healthy juice or water.

I used to drink gallons of Diet Coke. Even though it is sugar-free, it contains artifical sweeteners that are not good for us. I started getting extreme dizzy spells one day and I stopped drinking Diet Coke cold turkey. I lost 40 lbs. after I stopped drinking this stuff and have not had a dizzy spell since. I have not had any beverages like this since 1998 (diet or regular). My answer to your questions is NO it is not healthy to curb your hunger. If you feel hungry, snack on healthy snacks in between meals like crackers (made with wheat flower), nuts, raisins, fruit, etc.

I agree with the one that said sometimes diet soda can make you feel more hungry. Try water with lemon in it. Also eating the fruit is better for you that juice. Juice has more calories and the fruit has fiber that helps.

The healthiest thing to do is have a small snack and some water.
I find that if I drink two bottles of water that I feel fuller. Dehydration can cause a lot of undesirable symptoms like disorientation, memory loss, ect. That’s what can occur when you substitute diet colas for water. You will also find more acne and drier skin. Try Propel, it’s delicious and you’ll find you can drink two bottles back to back with no problem.

no, it is not healthy. You are better off with a piece of celery or a carrot . there are no calories to speak of in them. read the ingredients on the coke and you will see that they are not healthy ingredients and they may have more calories then you think you are getting.

Aspartame (nutrasweet) makes the brain crave carbs. So unless you have incredible willpower, skip the diet soda. Eating (and chewing) is better – try raw vegetables or nuts.

i have to say no, because pop is just sugar and caffeine(unless its caffeine free) but no matter what it has no real substance. you should try to eat a granola bar or peanut butter and crackers because peanut butter is very good for you. but don’t eat to much peanut butter, then its bad.

I would say it’s neither healthy nor unhealthy. You are correct that water would be better for you, though. I’m a big snacker myself and I tend to have celery sticks, carrots, or almonds on hand at all times! Here’s something else for you to keep in mind…I stopped drinking soda completely and lost 2 sizes in the matter of 2 weeks. A few of my friends did the same thing and experienced the same results! Give it a shot and see if it also helps to improve your health!
