Water or Soda? which do you drink?
Replies

I mostly drink water during the day also drunk diet sodas, Ice carbonated waters, zero calories energy drinks. I mix it up but my main drink is water.0

I prefer tea.
Soda has been implicated in osteoporosis later in life, possibly because it contains carbonic and phosphoric acids.0 -
I drink iced tea and water. Gave up soda a couple years ago, minus an occasional Coca-Cola (preferably the Mexican version made with real sugar) when I need caffeine and brewed tea isn't available.0

Mostly water (it's FREE--mostly free, I pay a water bill). Sometimes a little tea, coffee, or diet soda. But mostly water, because I like it. I love my Diet Pepsi, but I limit it to one serving a day, since it's expensive and makes me gassy.0

Water, plain water. I love it, it helps me feel full, tastes good, it's calorie free, and good for you. I never liked the fizzy taste of soda, and the only I can manage to drink soda is if I mix it with alcohol, and even then I prefer other drinks.0

I say if you want to drink some diet soda, drink some diet soda. Is it the key to your weight loss? Heavens no. But if you enjoy it, have some. I wouldn't replace drinking water with drinking diet soda though. Water has many benefits for your body like aiding in digestion and keeping you hydrated, which diet pop will not do. Diet pop still has caffeine (unless it is caffeine free pop) In fact, anything with caffeine will help to dehydrate you, not hydrate. That being said, enjoy the pop, coffee, tea, whatever. But try to get at least 8 cups of decaffeinated beverage in a day in addition to your diet pop. Crystal light packets work wonders if you can't handle the taste.0

diet soda is all chemicals. If you are craving a soda drink the regular kind, and if possible opt for the real sugar variant, like Pepsi is advertising right now.
I usually stick to water all the time, it really does help detox and cleanse yourself0 -

I prefer soda pop (Mt. Dew), but I drink water because 0 calories and it's free. If I drank as much Mt. Dew as I do water, I wouldn't have much room for actual food. I do agree that the carbonation filled me up/kept the hunger down. Diet soda tastes horrible to me.0

I like Snapple Diet Peach tea in the morning and then just water. Alot of water. But I'm thirsty tons. Sometimes I'll put a diet Orange in the freezer & set timer for 30min and then indulge....gotta have that thin layer of ice on the top so when I pop the top its mmmmmmm tasty!0

I drink water 99% of the time primarily because I love food more than soda. I'd rather have an extra 300ish calories a day to spend on a food I love than a soda. That said, I will have a Dr. Pepper maybe once every couple of weeks, but it's definitely not an every day thing for me.0

water..i do paleo!0

I drink Water and Sparking flavored water for the carbonation...instead of diet soda! Diet soda free for 32 days straight. I do enjoy green tea and coffee.0
-
I drink around 2 litres of sparkling water every day. Still is just too plain for me. I very rarely have any 'soft' drinks anymore and I don't regret making that decision at all. I also have a few coffee each day and the occasional lemon/ginger tea after meals.0

I drink water and have 1 diet soda per day, if at all. My water bottle goes everywhere with me.0

I have been drinking water with chuncks of lemon in it, because otherwise Its hard to drink water for me. I feel like I'm drowning or choking on it. I have been drinking just water for the past 3 weeks, no juice, no soda, just water. I felt more hungry and I did not loose as much weight as last month. Last month I lost 9 pounds this month I lost 4. So yesterday I was craving a soda, Diet Mountain dew. I had 3 in fact and guess what? I lost a pound. why? because I'm thinking the carbonation in the soda makes me feel fuller from my belly being bloated. I noticed I didnt eat as much. So I am wondering what everyone else's opionion is. Do you prefer water or soda and why?
I don't know if someone else mentioned this but water/soda aside...If you think you lose a pound in a day you don't understand how the body works. I don't think the carbonation was a factor, but drink whatever feels right to you as long as it isn't full of sugar, but please don't think there is an instant weight reduction. To see a pound difference in a day would mostly be related to hydration. Did you overall fluid intake go down because of the soda?0 -
I drink 2-4 coffees and at least a gallon of water every day. I consciously decided to stop drinking juice and soda when I went to college and have completely lost my taste for them. On the off chance that I have a soda or some juice now, my face puckers at how cloyingly sweet they are for the first 5 or so sips. I really don't like them anymore.0

What are you detoxing from?0 -
Soda is delicious. I love it and have loved it my entire life. My favorite is Cheerwine, a cherry soda available in the southern US. There's some in my fridge right now actually, but it's for my husband T_T
But I don't drink it. I only drink water, almond milk, and coffee.0
