    I don't drink any soda... Just water... Alton Brown (Food Network) said that you shouldn't drink ANY kind of soda if you're trying to lose weight... Plus, the chemicals in it will kill ya!!

    How long does it take to kill ya? I've been it feeding to my husband for years and he's still kicking.

    The "How long does it take to kill ya?" response actually reminded me of a food addicts response. The ones that say "Well, I can eat all these cheeseburgers because it hasn't hurt me yet?". It is just another excuse to keep ingesting these addictive chemicals in soda.

    I love soda but I completely cut it out because there is NOTHING natural in it. The whole bottle is a bunch of chemicals mixed together in a lab. That is how I got myself to quit. Whenever I see a can or bottle I think, "Why would I want to ingest something that is chemicals that I could make in chemistry class." That made it easy lol.

    So did you cut out deoderants,hair dyes,make up ect ect cuz you know that all gets absorbed in your body as well lol

    Actually, I don't use hair dye, little to no makeup, and there is all natural deodorant. The chemicals you INGEST are the worst of all too because they go STRAIGHT to your bloodstream!

    yeah, but they taste good. so that's ok. also? cheeseburgers ... taste even better. so even ok-ier. and 18 pounds gone in 55 days, lower body fat by nearly 3 percent, better blood markers, blah, blah blah ... with diet dr pepper (no "." after the dr folks. honest.) usually once a day and random trips to burger king or taco bell. so I'm good. I'm healthier and I'm happy. better life through chemistry ... yeah!

    (also, diet cherry dr pepper rules. diet dew, I'm afraid, tastes about like what I would expect cat urine does. it really is too bad, since I love dew's non-diet brother.)

    I guess my sarcasm font is broken. :ohwell:

    And the only excuse I need to have cheeseburgers and soda is that I like it.

    If I HAVE to drink a diet soda... it had better be a cold Diet Dr. Pepper or Cherry Coke... anything else, I will just take a water... but I would rather have a regular soda if I'm going to splurge on one.

    Since artificial sweeteners and I don't get along at all I avoid diet soda if at all possible. I'm trying my best to not drink ANY soda(down to about one 32 oz a week). If I feel the urge then it's usually Pepsi. If I need caffeine then it's ice tea for me.

    I have been a diet coke lover for years, but have tried to cut back over the past few months. Got down to 2 cans a day and then suddenly switched to Diet Mt Dew..... so now I'm on 2 cans diet Mt Dew per day lol. I must have caffeine and hate coffee so I could never cut to less than 2 cans a day...

    Btw I have had diet cherry 7-up and it is really good!

    Diet Mt Dew is my favorite, I normally have between 1-3 per day, that's on top of my 64 oz of water per day, but I hate plain water so the water is flavored with Archer Farms powdered flavoring (like Crystal Light only they use Stevia as the sweetner, I like that flavor better). If there's no Diet Mt. Dew around, I can deal with Diet Coke if I really need caffeine right then, but it's not my favorite. My DH likes Diet Sierra Mist and says the Diet A&W root beer is pretty good, too. I keep the Diet Sierra Mist around in case I want to bake some lower cal cupcakes, he tried it one day and now he drinks it pretty regularly if I keep it available.

    I used to be an avid soda drinker. Diet Pepsi, Pepsi Max, and Coke Zero topped the list for me. I am about a month post VSG and haven't had a soda in about 8 weeks. The other day I thought I was craving one so I decided to give it a shot (even though I should avoid carbonation). It was horrible. All I could taste were the chemicals! Guess I will be sticking to water, tea, and crystal light.
