Many people turn to zero-calorie drinks and low-calorie foods thinking they’re making a smart choice for weight loss. But what if these choices are actually working against you?

In this episode of Drop It, we dive into The Diet Coke Effect—the hidden way artificial sweeteners and low-calorie substitutes can increase cravings, ramp up appetite, and cause you to overeat without even realizing it.

Here’s what we cover:

  1. How artificially sweetened foods trick your brain and make cravings worse.
  2. Why “saving calories” with zero-calorie options often leads to eating more later.
  3. The cycle of Diet Coke & overeating: why these choices don’t actually help.
  4. How to break free from the trap of relying on fake foods and still feeling hungry.
  5. The best way to eat for satiety so you naturally reduce cravings and eat less.
  6. If you’ve ever wondered why you still feel hungry, crave sugar, or struggle with overeating, this episode will help you understand why—and what to do instead.
