Diet Soda While on Ozempic?

[Kim]

Ok, I know it's not healthy, but can you still drink Diet Pepsi while taking Ozempic? Appreciate any insights!

 

[Robin83]

Nah, it's yucky because Diet Coke rocks!

Since starting Ozempic, I haven't felt sick from any specific food or drink. The only times I've felt ill is when I've overeaten. As long as I stop when I'm adequately satisfied, I can eat whatever I like.

People who bash diet soda conveniently forget that regular soda is way worse! All that sugar is terrible for you, but for some reason, diet soda gets all the hate.

 

[Flex_Tale]

Yep, I still enjoy Diet Coke and Coke Zero without any issues.

I'm on Wegovy. Yes, but I tend to burp a lot more with fizzy drinks. Big, loud burps. I think it's funny, but my partner disagrees.

 

[Witty_Log]

Yep, I can still drink them.

 

[VialGains]

Definitely a better choice than full-sugar drinks and better than getting dehydrated.

Personally, I get these really awful burps through my nose (??!??) with anything carbonated while on Ozempic, but your mileage may vary!

 

[Robin83]

I regularly drink Diet Coke and haven't had any trouble losing weight. I do shake it up to reduce the fizz first, otherwise I get bloated. I'm probably weird, though, because I can't burp, so it might be different for others!

 

[HealthLoss]

It's totally fine for me.

 

[HealthAF]

Totally ok as long as you still get enough water each day-- I use an online calculator to be sure.

 

[Flex_Tale]

The caffeine-free version is my go-to drink with dinner.

 

[sweating-it-out]

I drink a lot of diet soda. Don't usually have any problems with carbonation.

 

[Witty_Log]

I don't think I could live without soda. I drink sugar-free versions of everything and even use a soda stream to make my own. Still losing weight, so no issues for me!

 

[VialGains]

Why not? I drink Diet Pepsi regularly. I have no problems mixing it with Ozempic.

 

[Kim]

So it sounds like most people are ok with diet soda. But I'm wondering, has anyone had trouble tolerating other foods, like protein? I've been seeing some stuff online about that.

 

[HealthLoss]

I've noticed I'm craving sweets more than usual. Like, I could eat cake all day, but a grilled chicken breast sounds awful. Is that just me?

 

[Witty_Log]

I've been finding that healthy foods just don't appeal to me as much anymore. Pre-oz, I was all about salads and veggies, but now I'd rather have some popcorn.

Glad I'm not alone!
