    My two cents are that you should eat foods that naturally occur. TOTALLY MY OPINION, but the best foods for you are the ones mother nature readily gives. If I ever have a soda, diet or not, I always feel bloated afterwards. If you are looking for something fizzy, I'd go for some kombucha. Love the probiotics and how they aren't typically overly sweet.

    You'll read plenty of articles on here about how you can lose weight drinking all the soda products you want. And you can. But the biggest problem with soda isn't so much the sugar as it is the acid it puts in your body and the danger for kidney stones and osteoporosis later in life. Your body has to pull calcium from your bones to counteract the acid in sodas. On an acid-alkaline scale, sodas are right next to battery acid. I just couldn't drink them anymore after reading that.

    I love La Croix water. It's carbonated water and is sugar-free, sodium-free, and doesn't have any added artificial sweeteners. I've never been a soda drinker, but I can say that they definitely don't taste like soda, but still have all the fizz of soda.

    This fizzy drink is great.
    I'm a little unsure as to why there is encouragement to drink something so unnatural. Some chemical corn that our bodies have no idea what to do with.

    What exactly do you mean by ' that our bodies have no idea what to do with'?

    I drink at least a gallon of diet soda per day. It has made no difference either way.

    I stopped drinking pop (Coke) at home a year ago when I started MFP, but I totally still get it when I go out to eat. It's the best from the fountain and I don't feel guilty when it's just a couple a week. I've lost about 35lbs.
