Reg/Diet/0 cal Sodas

gecho

Recently I drank a Mr. Pibb and it was sugary sweet but still pretty good. Well today My husband surprised me by taking me out to lunch. Which I might add that I ate a reality healthy lunch. But because my husband doesn’t drink diet sodas he got a regular coke and I was almost excited about it because I figured it would taste so good. Well…BLECH. I took 2 sips. 0cal drinks and diets ruined my taste for my fave soda! Which in reality is a good thing but still. :drinker:

If you can stay away from ALL soda's I would really encourage it

If I drink soda at all it is only regular soda. Aspartame is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO bad for you; much worse than sugar.

I have switched to flavored seltzer. 0 calories, 0 caffiene, 0 sugar. I love it, but I don't know if it counts to my water intake. Either way, if I feel like something bubbly, I go seltzer.

I am trying to reduce my intake of regular soda (I have a bad Coca-Cola habit). I never even considered going to diet sodas because I cannot stand the taste of artificial sweeteners (not to mention the bad effects they will have on you too).

I am also starting to drink the flavored seltzer water when I want something fizzy, much more enticing than just regular water. Just make sure you get the unsweetened kind or you might as well be drinking Diet Coke.

I'm the same with my tea and coffee, no soda at all for me anymore. If I use any sweetener, it's real sugar.

But I know what you mean. I'm using less and less sugar in my tea too. The super-sugary stuff just doesn't appeal to me anymore.

It's great, isn't it?

I was drinking an insane amount of diet soda a month ago (figured it was better caloire wise) but decided in my trek to become (slowly) healthier that I would cut out sodas, the first few days-week was kinda rough I crave the soda, but now I don't even miss them. I drink alot of coffee and flavored water (add crystal light to it I dont' like the taste of water). I feel better and lost about an 1.5 inch from my waist and my mom says my face doesn't look as bloated. Though the feeling better is what I really noticed.

I know how you all feel about aspartame, so I will not divulge how much Coke Zero I consume. Let's just say I do not ever allow myself to run out. I NEED that caffeine.

That said, the other day I tasted a full-calorie Pepsi. It used to be my super-duper favorite but it didn't taste good to me at all. I even shared a sip with hubby and asked him...does this taste alright to you? It is funny how much my tastes have changed.
