Type 1 How Much Diet Fizzy Drinks

Tesco do some with no carbs at all and they are quite tasty. You wouldn't know there was no sugar in them.
 
For me they are a treat, say 2-3 times a week. I make an exception for English Sparkling Wine, Cremant, or Champagne
 
Probably the only the thing to keep an eye on would be how much caffeine is in the drink. I found, for instance, that too much coke zero would give me problems in getting to sleep.
 
Those artificial sweeteners do a number on me. I like just seltzer, sparkling water with a lemon or lime
 
How many diet fizzy drinks I'm I allowed please

Depends who you listen to. Certainly in terms of carbs you can find drinks with zero or very low.

The issue under debate is the sweetners.....do they/don't they continue to feed the addictive centre of your brain, do they/don't they affect your gut micro biome?
 
I gave up diet fizzy drinks way back in September last year. I stick with water/decaf tea/decaf coffee and if I want something fizzy I have sparkling water with a chunk of lime in it. Have to say, it isn't quite the same (ha!) as the Caffeine free Diet Coke I used to love but I'm used used to it now. I felt that was liking it too much and I didn't think it was good for me
