Can coke zero cause weight gain?

I've been trying to reduce my sugar intake, so I recently started drinking Coke Zero instead of regular soft drinks. However, someone at my gym told me that diet drinks can still lead to weight gain. Is it possible for Coke Zero to cause weight gain?

I used to drink Coke Zero daily during my gym phase thinking it had zero calories. Honestly, it didn't make me gain weight directly, but the sweet taste made me crave actual junk food like pizza and burgers later. Better to just stick to normal water if you are serious about cutting down.

I just went through a weight loss journey and was drinking lots of diet sodas to curb my sweet tooth. My weight stuck for weeks until I stopped all artificial drinks. Once I cut out Coke Zero and drank only plain water, my weight started dropping again.

Honestly, everyone in my hostel drinks Coke Zero to save calories, but we still end up eating extra chips anyway. It doesn't magically make you fat, but it definitely doesn't help you eat cleaner. Just drink it once in a while for fun, not daily.

Beta, in my sixty years I have learned that there is no shortcut to health. These fancy zero-calorie drinks are just marketing tricks that confuse our bodies. Stick to simple home-cooked food and walking, and you won't have to worry about weight gain.

While it has zero calories, the artificial sweeteners inside can still disturb your healthy gut bacteria and trigger insulin responses. For a clean diet, it is always best to avoid these highly processed chemicals. Try drinking fresh mint-infused water or light buttermilk instead.
