I drink crazy amount of diet soda daily. I know that water is the best option but what other drinks could I replace the soda? Thanks for any suggestions 😊

    You can drink diet soda on a weight loss plan. It's not the "poison" that many claim it to be. There are tons of members on here that use it inconjuction with a balance diet.

    Iced tea?

    Make your own, it's simple enough. I like to use flavored tea bags - Twinings Green w/ Pomegranate, Raspberry & Strawberry makes a nice fruity tea. Don't make the water too hot or the tea will be bitter. Herbal teas work as well - Lipton makes a family sized herbal tea (= 4 individual bags) - Strawberry & Watermelon is good.

    Are you drinking caffeinated sodas, and wishing to reduce caffeine consumption?

    Are you on a low sodium diet and drinking sodas with sodium?

    Are you thinking you’re spending too much money on soda?

    Has your dentist advised you to stop drinking diet sodas?

    Those are four great reasons to reduce diet soda consumption. Other than those reasons, @ninerbuff is right. They’re not actually that bad for you.

    That said? We love flavored carbonated water at my house. We probably go through 12 to 18 cans a day between three of us (plus guests)
