Alcohol was inhibiting my weight loss but I'm used to having something to drink after dinner and possibly with popcorn. The beer was within my calories but definitely not nutritious (2 Lites is about 200 of my 1200 calories, my body probably really needs those 200 calories to be actual nutrition).
Switching out the beer calories and alcohol with food calories got my weight loss going again. I'm in that often tough to handle 1200 calorie range. Apparently I AM one of those people where it makes a difference what your calories are comprised of.
Canada Dry 10 is my all time favorite.
I love A&W 10!0 -
If I had a diet root beer I would want ice cream with that! A diet ginger ale is only missing the Jack Daniels. :-)0

Bottom line, listen to your body and do what's right for you. There's no magic formula for this. If it was easy, we'd all be healthy, skinny, and not having this conversation.

My favorite diet is Dr. Brown's diet cream soda, but I can never find it around here lately.0

Oooooh, now I'm going to look for diet cream soda next time I'm out and about. Personally I stay away from colas, too much phosphoric acid.0

And thanks. :-)
There's quite a few things that work the same for everyone. Gravity for example. The laws of physics as a whole.0 -
I just wanted to add that OP said they drink 4 or 5 cans PER WEEK. There is clearly no danger of this small amount displacing drinking water or having whatever dire effects chemikillz might want to cause.
OP, I drink about the same amount, and often have one INSTEAD of a snack when I'm bored-hungry but don't have the calories left. I've been maintaining fine.
And my favorite is Diet Dr. Pepper. Hmmm, that would taste good in a vanilla ice cream float too0
