In CAD, they say diet pop is fine...but I have seen many people mention that you can only have diet pop during your reward meal? Is it not O.K. on CALP?

In CALP the Hellers talk about the fact that if something tastes sweet, your body will react as if it is...so diet sweetener or not, your body may react as if you had a sugar sweetened soda and release insulin. (page 59 of the CALP book)
I try to save it for my reward meals just to keep my overall soda intake low. When I feel like having a soda outside of my RM it reminds me that I probably haven't had enough water so I chug a whole bunch of water and if I still want something to drink I'll have iced tea. I like Shwarzbein's method of cutting back on stimulants one by one. I was drinking way too much diet soda on other low carb plans.
