    Some people have bad reactions to artificial sweeteners, and should avoid them. Just like some people have bad reactions to milk or peanuts or strawberries.

    Otherwise... enjoy. I drink one or two cans daily, usually Diet Dew or Diet Dr Pepper.

    I drink about 2 a day, I read so much stuff about what is in it. I think if you like it, you should just cut down. going cold turkey all at once makes a fat girl crazy LOL...thats just for me!

    I have a diet coke nearly everyday. No calories and it often gets rid of any in-between hungries.

    hmm, let me see... i could put this water in my face and make myself healthier and happier, or i could fill myself up with potentially dangerous synthetic chemicals that will do nothing positive for me...

    the choices...

    I don't drink any kind of sweetened soda, artificial or real, and I try to avoid artificial sweeteners and high fructose corn syrup in my food most of the time, too. I stopped drinking soda about 3-4 years ago, and I drink tea instead, because I'm still a caffeine addict.

    i drink a ton of diet sod. i don't think it makes you fat - there are NO calories BUT it does add water weight.

    ive heard so many diff stories on what "diet" drinks will do to you while trying to lose weight so i just cut them out all together..which by the way is awesome!! my beverages are all non calorie/sugar free drinks ie water, crystal light, ocean spray diet (that you pour in water)..i feel much better than what i did when i was drinking sodas, diet or not.

    Every now and then I will have a diet pepsi. It's rare, but I do from time to time.

    I gave up diet soda when I joined MFP. Many are high in sodium, something I don't need.

    3-4 a day. Either Diet Coke or Diet Pepsi. I also try to regulate my water intake to at least match what I drink in soda. I've noticed no weight loss difference when I've gone cold turkey not drinking diet sodas verses just drinking water.

    If you have a super clean diet then diet sodas, overall, are a no-no from a nutrition/health perspective. But everyone has different goals, habits and relationships with food. I try to eat as clean as possible, but I do like "bad" food, too. I allow myself one diet drink a day -- generally not soda, usually diet iced tea, but what's better than soda with pizza! Everything in moderation...
