No calories but they're made of pure yuck!

Which is better for you than impure yuck I guess?

At least if it's pure yuck, you can still consider it "clean eating".

Seeing as how any soda is about 95% water, I can't see how it could be considered "pure yuck".

It's watered down yuck!

I drink it quite a bit. There was a time when I thought they were sick. Coke Zero is my jam. I still have milk and juice and stuff. And booze of course. Whatever floats ones boat I guess.

Says the person with big gulps as their user name. I believe you!

I drink sparkling water (LaCrox) like it's going out of style. There is a berry flavor and a passionfruit that is to DIE for - so refreshing and 0 calories (no artificial sweetners, either). The water saves me most days - when I'm hungry I drink a can, and then I'm good

I do water and coffee..... Cut soda out over two years ago. If you ask me soda's are pure yuck and aren't healthy for you at all. But that's opinion and preference!

So I want to get everyone's opinion.

Recently I have been drinking Pure Leaf (brand) Unsweetened Green Team and Black tea in the morning. Is that okay - I don't like hot tea but these are cold and something that tastes different than water!

Today someone offered me a SobeLife Water - they said have this instead - more flavor and still ) sugar, 0 calories, and 0 artificial sweeteners.

I think I have always heard to steer away from the zero calorie drinks like that because whatever they use to sweeten them still can cause weight gain. I have always heard drinking Diet Coke and Coke Zero is almost as bad for you as regular coke and that is has been proven to cause weight gain in some.

WHAT ARE YOUR OPINIONS?

Those things you heard are the baseless ravings of paranoids and conspiracy nuts. There is zero science that supports these assertions.

Love all this info - such smart informed people here.

I don't generally prefer artificially sweetened drinks - the weird aftertaste and they sometimes make me feel crummy in general. I don't know what's in there, but a diet coke seems to make me feel kind of bloated and sluggish. Might be in my head. I can be weird about things like that.

But that's just me. A calorie is a calorie, so I mean, if you like them, knock yourself out.
