+Chris Chris Numerous nutritionists in the past decade, across the country, have been raising the question of why obese patients when switched from regular soda to diet soda don't lose weight, and in some cases actually gained belly fat. Based on information from several scientific studies we have seen that, while most people have started drinking diet soda to facilitate weight loss, quitting it did the trick. A recent 9-year study found older adults who drank diet soda continued to pack on belly fat. The study piggybacks on research that found each daily diet soda increases your chance of becoming obese in the next decade by 65%, and a study published in Diabetes Care that found drinking diet soft drinks daily was associated with an increase in metabolic syndrome-obesity, high blood-pressure, high triglycerides-which leads to heart disease and diabetes.
