Diet Tips

i have been doing a strict diet. i keep mostly to water these days and no juices or anything with carbs.
recently istarted drinking diet soda which claims to have 0calories, 0 carbs, now i know that there are other chemicals and ingredients that are harmful, health wise.
my question is as far as weight loss only..is diet soda good or worse?is it like drinking regular soda? will i gain weight or loose should i continue drinking that?
thanks

I’ve heard people get grumpy when on a diet. Some get depressed. I wanted to know what exactly it does to the chemicals in your brain. Do diets change the chemicals so your more happy or sad? Change your personality? IDK, whatever you all know would be great, Thanks!

What about diet coke is unhealthy? If you know chemicals it will be appreciated. My roommate downs diet coke like their is no tomorrow and his rationale is "Their is nothing about it that is bad for you". Any thoughts?

I’ve heard low in magnesium is good for those with struvite stones or that an acidic diet (like raw) is better to prevent struvite stones, but what kind of diet is good to prevent calcium oxalate stones?
Thanks Carol, but that vet stuff is horrible. It contains artificial ingredients like the chemicals BHA and BHT which cause cancer. Trading stones for cancer provides no health advantage.
