    My son got a SodaStream machine when he decided to give up soda, and it is wonderful! It fizzes your plain water, and then you can add flavoring to it if you want to. A squirt of lime juice and a couple drops of stevia, and you have a low-carb natural lime soda.

    Currently riding on the bus with a 20 can case of Diet Coke in my lap lol

    I'm not affected by it though

    Well, I am going to see how long I go without one, if there is a difference in weight loss, its gone for good. If not, I'll have one ury now and then

    Not sure if it's related, but I didn't have any diet drinks yesterday and weighed in again today and was 1 pound down. Probably pure coincidence but it's enough to keep me on track for now.

    Glad to hear he likes it - I was wondering what type to get - the choice is overwhelming - so are some of the prices but I have seen SodaStream here

    OK I ordered a Soda Stream Starter kit but it cost 1/3 the cost in the American Amazon than the Canadian Amazon - worth going across the border to pick it up if you live close enough. In the Canadian Amazon it costs $333.14 in the American Amazon I got it for $126 with 2 extra cartridges. We Canadians can never have anything nice. Day 2 no Coke - not a problem.

    But...we have universal healthcare and that dreamy Justin Trudeau lol

    I agree with you, it costs way more for stuff here in Canada than it does in America.

    I had a similar problem. I hit a plataeu on my low carb, then was putting on half a pound a week.
    I gave up the artificial sweetners, as recommended by posters on MFP and Ive now lost that weight and broken through the plateau.

    Ok, I think I have all the encouragement here to cut them!! I was drinking about 3 diet sodas per day. I will switch to Truvia (sparingly) in my tea and only have Mio once daily in my Ketoade. Does that sound like a good plan?!

    Have you tried liquid stevia...and that sounds awesome.

    Yes! Just tried it this am in my coffee to cut back on the caramel 0 sugar (20 cals, 1 carb) creamer. But for flavour for my Ketoade to cover the salty taste I would need Mio I think.. it is liquid

    Just curious to know if you all think liquid sweeteners are as detrimental (to some people I suppose) to weight loss or just diet soda? Are you guys cutting all artificial sweeteners or just diet soda?

    For my personal trial, I quit drinking soda to eliminate artificial sweeteners. I still use water enhancers made with stevia. Mio has a couple flavors. Walmart (Great Value) has 1 that I've found. The brand "Stur", available in most grocery stores is sweetenened with stevia.

    Thank you! I will do the same! I have a few flavours of Mio and plain stevia but use Mio in my Ketoade. I'll have to look out for the flavours that are specially sweetened with just stevia and for Stur.

    For now I am just quitting the artificial sweeteners in my drinks like Coke Zero and Crystal Lite. I have a feeling I am going to have to go further than that because I use sugar free coffee creamer every morning too, but I'll wait another week and see. Great job everyone!

    The only 2 Mio I have found are Black Raspberry and Tropical Cherry. They are both the Mio/ Vitamins. There are so many Mio flavors maybe having the two names will help in finding it. It is the side of the bottle that reads "Naturally Sweetened with Stevia Leaf Extract" in large enough print to see without sorting through the other ingredients on the back.
