At 76, Arnold Schwarzenegger is still dominating the fitness world. Despite losing all the muscle glory of his prime, he is still fit and strong in his seventies. For the past year, Arnie also helped his fitness village on the wellness path by offering sustainable workout and diet advice. And the Austrian Oak is trying to build momentum a month before the New Year.

The Terminator icon’s latest newsletter edition has exciting news for Weight Watchers. There is a lot of information overload online regarding what should and should not be consumed by people on their fitness journeys. One such topic of debate is diet soda. While many experts online tell people to stay away from diet soda, Schwarzenegger has a different take on the topic. 

Arnold Schwarzenegger and swapping water for diet soda

Fitness enthusiasts are often lost consuming content online. But Schwarzenegger took the initiative to provide research-backed studies through his Arnold’s Pump Club podcast and newsletter to help fitness enthusiasts learn sustainable ways to keep their wellness game going. Now, Arnie busts the myth surrounding diet soda.

Many weight loss advocates ask people to avoid diet soda, but Schwarzenegger doesn’t resonate with them. The newsletter shared a research study that suggests diet soda may help in weight loss. “Have you ever wondered what would happen if you swapped a couple of glasses of water for diet soda? Scientists did, and the results would surprise most people,” Arnie revealed.

According to a new study, diet soda drinkers lost equal pounds in 12 weeks as water drinkers, given they followed the same weight loss program. However, Schwarzenegger noted, “This doesn’t mean diet soda is better than water.” It adds to the sustainability of the weight loss program by making it easier to follow a healthy eating routine. Earlier, the 76-year-old shared a similar donut experiment.

Donuts will be next on the list to be crossed while on a weight loss checklist, but if you have subscribed to Arnold’s Pump Club, you beg to differ. In one of the editions, Schwarzenegger promoted donuts for weight loss, and once again it adds to the sustainability of a weight loss routine.

According to the research, people following a breakfast routine with dessert lost 35 lbs more than people who skipped a sweet meal altogether. “The researchers felt the dessert helped reduce cravings and built a more sustainable habit,” Arnie noted, supporting the idea of having a donut for breakfast.
