    edited February 26 in Food and Nutrition
    I've decided to go off of diet soda due to some evidence that it doesn't help the weight loss process.

    Now I'm looking for alternatives. What unsweetened beverages with low / no calories do you like?

      .....Diet Coke......

      Crystal Light is okay, and I like the Propel drinks.

      Obviously water is number one. I drink that constantly.

      Flavor wise, i just got some BCAAs and i slip some of that into my water at work to aid in recovery...its blue raspberry

      I like to squeeze lemon into my water too.

      I'm not much help here...

      I really like the Minute Maid flavor drops in the Raspberry Lemonade flavor. It's not zero calorie though. It's 5 calories per serving (for me, that's negligible) due to a small amount of fruit juice and sugar it contains. I've tried a lot of those liquid concentrate flavor things, and this one was the best tasting IMO. It's a little pricey though.

      Water
      And while it's not zero calorie, it's close enough: black coffee.

      Sprite Zero! I love it. I don't drink, so I even get it when I am out at bars. Everyone thinks I have a vodka drink!

      Oh, and the edit: I have seen some of that research, and I believe it is not valid. There is only ONE way to hinder your weight loss: To not achieve a caloric deficit. As long as you are hitting your calorie goals, you WILL lose weight and it does not matter one bit what exactly you're consuming. Diet soda will NOT cause you to exceed your calorie goal. So, go ahead and enjoy some diet soda!

      Cheap flavored water from either walmart or the dollar store. I was using crystal lite but it gives me some stomach issues.

      Black coffee and/or brewed iced tea.

      Water. For me, it was an acquired taste. Which sounds silly, considering it doesn't really taste like anything. But I started just drinking it during my workouts, and found that after a couple of weeks, I was actually favoring it over my previously loved herbal teas and diet soda. I still have the occasional diet soda or cup of tea, but it's rare. Most days I just drink my morning coffee and water.

      But if water isn't your dig, I do suggest tea. The kind you brew yourself, not bottled. So many flavors to choose from!

      Besides water or black coffee, if I want something different I will grab a LaCroix, flavored sparkling water. They give you the bubbles that you are missing from cokes.

      Water + a squeeze of Real Lemon + a few drops of liquid Stevia (the real stuff that has only water and Stevia extract)

      This has no calories and a lot of flavor.

      I drink unsweet tea or water 90% of the time. :) Add a little lemon and it's not so bad. :)

      Water. Add slices of lemon , lime, or orange for flavor.

      Unsweet ice tea. I make a gallon in the morning and usually finish it off at the end of the day.

      Iced green tea, no sweetner.

      I love water with lime. I also like tea, but since I like it sweetened, I don't drink it too much. I don't think that artificial sweeteners and artificial colors are good for you, so I would stay away from those things.

      Unsweetened tea with lemon or when I feel for carbonation zephryhill sparkling water with lemon essence (they have other flavors too) it is zero calories and no artificial sweetener
