Has anybody noticed a difference after giving up diet soda?

Ooh, a necro. Sweet.
If we're allowed to comment now that it's been necromanced, I went a while not drinking any soda and saw no difference. Now I just treat myself to it when I have extra calories or want a fizzy drink, which isn't all that often. I actually miss being able to fit fruit juices and Seagram's Escapes into my diet a lot more than I crave soda.
Every person's gonna have a different mental and chemical relationship with soda, but I really don't think there's any significant harm to be found in enjoying it reasonably if it's not making you sick or upset.0 -
Diet Coke is my Achilles heel. I'm in maintenance now so I do indulge more but my appetite is noticeably bigger and I specifically crave sugary snacks.0

Yes, I gave up diet soda in 2014 when I started my weight loss journey and it made a huge difference in weight loss. I was also no longer bloated, rarely crave any soda and don't have as strong craving for sugar. I only drink regular soda when I'm dining out.5

How would giving up something with zero calories "make a huge difference in weight loss"?4 -

It seems unlikely that it's 4 calories for a can, considering that larger quantities (for example, 20oz bottles with a serving size of the whole bottle) are also labeled as 0 calories.2 -

It depends on the Diet soda. Mt Dew for example has 5 calories in 20 oz.0 -
I have up soda cold turkey last week. I was drinking anywhere from 2-4 cans a day. I am finding that my need for snacking is decreasing. I would crack open a Diet Coke and eat my way through a box of wheat thins. Without the Coke Zero the wheat thins don’t taste as good! Plus, my soda habit was causing my kids to want it. I hope I never go back to drinking it again!0

I've found that Coke Zero Sugar and Diet A&W Root Beer are quite effective at satisfying any cravings for sweets and actually keep my appetite at bay.2
