Sugar Free Drinks

What are people's thoughts on sugar free/diet energy drinks on prep? Do they spike insulin?

I have see people like Palumbo let his clients drink litres of it daily and then others ban it altogether.
 
90% of competing bbers I've seen on these forums live off the stuff. along with pepsi max, diet coke etc etc
 
I hammered them on my first prep! But was banned from on my second prep! I was much better condition in my second comp although I doubt very much it was purely down to cutting them out that made the difference!
 
Nah the insulin spike wont really matter IMO.
Overall diet drinks aren't the healthiest so I would save them as treats.
A couple cans per day no problem but 5 liters of the stuff....probably a bad idea.
 
Examine.com seem to point to no insulin spike and suggest they would more likely help a diet due to increased satiety.
 
Fizzy sweet practically zero calorie drinks have been a bloody godsend for me!
 
Can of diet cherry coke right now or a bottle of red wine.... Both of which are screaming at me lol.
