Diet Soda and Belly Fat
Although diet soda contains minimal calories, the artificial sweeteners in it can affect insulin levels, which may lead to increased fat storage, particularly around the abdomen.
Why This Happens
The hormonal imbalances caused by sweeteners can make it easier to gain belly fat over time, despite the drink’s lack of calories.
Conclusion
Even though diet soda is low in calories, its long-term effects may increase belly fat storage.
