General CKD q?

[Afterlife]

Is it ok for me to have a few cans of diet dr pepper a day on CKD or should i only use them as a when i need something else to pick me up thing?

is there a drawback to drinking a lot of non water drinks on CKD?
It doesnt knock me out of Keto so im ok drinking them

It knocks some people out of keto, luckily not me. I usually save diet drinks for a treat or if my cravings are really high. You dont want to spoil yourself with diet drinks. Try to limit yourself to 1 can of diet soda per day if your having sugar cravings.

Yeah thats what I thoght. I could honestly drink diet dr pepper all day tho

It is my understanding that Dr. Pepper is actually a good choice for keto diets due to its lack of citric acid, which is apparently (if I remember correctly) a culprit for knocking some individuals out of ketosis. I believe it's one of the only diet sodas available sans citric acid, too. Someone else might have more info on this.

Like some have said... Diet Dr. Pepper kicks some people out of ketosis and others it doesn't affect at all.

How much water are you drinking throughout the day?

for some reason, drinking any diet sodas on CKD makes me want to throw up

I drink quite a lot of water its my main liquid source. But lately (ive just started keto on my 8th day now) Ive been having sugar cravings, and the aweful taste in my mouth immediatly says drink diet dr pepper. So ive been having 1-2 cans a day now for 2 days to help me get thru the next week till my carb-up.

try seltza with ice. they hv these infused flavors, cherry, rasberry, no cals, no sugar, no crap. they are infused with the flavor. i like the plain seltza, but when i first started i used the flavored seltza. just make sure you check the label, and you will find them right next to the rest of the seltza.
