Diet coke, I will drink it if I want to.

I agree.

Thank you for the original post!

first off....I drink diet Sierra Mist...NO caffiene
second....I drink 6-8 glasses of plain old water in addition to any sodas I consume so they do not keep me from drinking enough water.
third....I have been drinking diet sodas for years and they have NEVER caused me to crave sweets....my brain is not "tricked" into thinking I want more sugar.....my weight issues have to do with eating too many calories....I hardly ever eat anything sweet...its just not something I crave or think about eating.

I love it when folks spout "data" and try to lump everyone....in this case diet soda drinkers....into one group. As far as the the long term affects of artificial sweetners we don't know but how many things are we exposed to everyday that are still uncertain?

To each his own...we all walk this journey to get to the end but how we get there is as individual as each of us....don't judge others!

I can't stand Diet Coke. I don't really like the flavor of any diet sodas, and the artificial sweeteners don't agree with me. Enjoy your Diet Coke.

I hear you sister! I'm a diet coke fanatic. Have cut it out of my diet in the past, but I figure if I'm eating healthy, exercising and getting plenty of water than a diet coke or two a day won't kill me.

I don't drink soda...unless it has hard liquor in it! ;-) Then it's Coke Lime Zero and rum - yummy! :drinker:

Oooh...the vanilla coke zeros are good too!

I prefer coke zero!

I'm with you! Coke zero is my friend. That and mineral water :drinker:
Of course on top of my many bottles of water a day anyway.

For me, diet Coke helps me eat less sugar and other unhealthy stuff. I don't smoke or do drugs, rarely drink, and eat well 90% of the time. I figure my having a yummy delicious diet Coke isn't the worst habit to have. I have had a few people try to scare me away from it, but I'm not hearing it!

P.S. Drinking a McDonald's diet Coke right now! Best diet Cokes EVER!

I drink a Diet Pepsi Max EVERY SINGLE MORNING when I wake up. First thing I do....lol........have that one, and 99% of the time it is the only one I have in a day. Not giving it up. Period. :bigsmile:

I totally agree with everything you said except I'll have a Diet Coke instead! I don't drink coffee so I need my caffeine kick start somewhere! Hehehe

Coke is very bad for your health, just ask the unionised workers they kill in third world countries.
