Por qué — la lógica de calorías e insulina
Diet sodas are calorie-free but contain artificial sweeteners (aspartame, sucralose, acesulfame-K) that some research suggests may produce a cephalic-phase insulin response, similar to the anticipation effect of tasting something sweet. The evidence is contested — other studies find no measurable insulin rise — but the carbonation and artificial flavourings also stimulate gastric acid and digestive enzymes.
¿Depende de tu objetivo de ayuno?
For pure calorie-deficit weight loss, an occasional diet soda is unlikely to derail a fast. For metabolic fasting or strict autophagy, the contested insulin signal and gut stimulation make plain water or black coffee a better choice. Regular diet soda consumption during fasting windows is generally discouraged by most practitioners.
