Cokeaholic

So my problem isn't really what I eat, it's what I drink. So I started today doing NO cokes at work. I can't go cold turkey immediately, but since I spend the majority of my time at work I thought this would be the best way to try.

Switch to diet.0

Try to start out by cutting down on them. Like if you drink 5-6 daily, cut down to 2-3. As long as they fit into your daily calorie limits, you shouldn't have any issues0

Treat yourself to (1) diet coke a day! A reward but stick to diet. GL0

I have the exact same problem. I enjoy soda too much and diet soda just isn't the same.0

I start my day off with a tea then switch to a 2 L bottle of water that I finish off during the day.
Diet cola is hydrating too.0 -
I wouldn't suggest switching to diet. A friend of mine was struggling to lose weight despite her diet and her doctor told her to cut out the diet coke and she's lost 39lbs since! Try reducing the soda by gradually replacing it with water etc!0

She was probably eating something with it then. Diet soda doesn't have any calories. Whether it makes you crave sweet foods or not is a very individual thing.0 -

She must have cut out diet soda and started eating at a deficit at the same time?0 -

No....chances are your friend also began eating at a calorie deficit. Diet coke won't make you gain weight. Not eating at a calorie deficit will make you gain weight. OP...if you like the taste of diet coke, have a diet coke. If you don't and you prefer water... that's cool.
There are people all over this site who have successfully switched from a full calorie soda to diet soda and have lost the weight.

I used to drink 2litres of Pepsi Max a day for a few years and I managed to come of it
Although I did go cold turkey and I had bad headaches from the caffeine withdrawal but I managed to do it and I feel so much better and less bloated due to it.
You can do it

Sorry but no. She likely started eating at a deficit, thus lost weight. Diet soda had nothing to do with it. Unless she had a medical issue. Its going to come down to cico0 -
I drink diet Pepsi regularly, also Coke Zero, Sprite Zero, Fanta Zero, Pibbs Zero, and my weight loss is going along nicely. The only way that would not be the case is if I was eating more thinking I had earned it because I drank a diet soda instead of a regular one.0
