That tweet doesn't reflect my experience at all actually, in Europe at least. I know it's an anecdote but I know many fit people that drink frequently Diet Coke or Coke Zero. Is this a US thing?

Coke Zero is much more common as an Everyman drink in Europe apparently, perhaps because of less sugar insensitivity.

In the USA a large size combo meal with a diet coke coming in at 1500+ calories is a meme based in reality.
