 Check nd see what sweetner it uses bev.Splenda has carbs, so I guess the answer depends on what the sweetner is aand how many you drink?? I have a girlfriend that drinks a 12 pack of soda a day so her carbs add up quick!

easiest way to find out...eliminate it from your intake and see what happens. Your question was will it make you fat but your post reports a stall....which is it, a stall or weight gain?

  i put on 5lb..i was thinking it may be that...but it could be other things as well...such as ...portion control....xx

Hi. I was not able to get my sugar levels under control until I stopped drinking any kind of pop. My levels 2 hours after a meal would be 2 - 5 points lower when I did not have pop.  I would think it would also affect a non diabetics insulin levels - though not as much as a diabetics.
