    Jolt, Mixed with Red bull, Mixed with Rockstar, Mixed with Monster, Mixed with cayenne pepper (a lil bit). For a real party, add some Grey Goose, but you might wake up in bed with a clown, and have a tiger in the bathroom!

    Wow, that explains SO much!

    Soda is NO GOOD for you. And large amounts of diet sodas are known for making you gain weight not lose! Also causes weak bones, weak teeth etc.
    Try water with the new flavor things you can add? A few even have B12!
    Water is the best .. try to back off the sodas. Try a cup of coffee maybe? Tea? then go to water!!!!

    Honestly I'm addicted to it! I only have maybe 1 bottle + 1 can a day. That's 13 cals or so and a much better option than any other soda. I have lost 85 pounds while drinking diet mtn dew so I believe I will stick with what is working for me.

    I was having the same problem. I switched to low doses of crystal methamphetamine. It does just about the same thing and has 0 calories. I can't figure out why the stuff is illegal - peps me up, places me into scenarios where I meet really interesting people, and actually accelerates weight loss.

    I highly recommend this to everyone trying to live a healthy lifestyle.

    I really doubt that the minimal carbs and calolries in diet mountain dew are enough to cause any kind of plateau.

    Wait, so you're a vegetarian who limits carbs to 25g per day? I think you're stuck because you're not eating ANYTHING besides Mountain Dew. What the hell can you eat that's vegetarian and that low carb?

    I can't imagine that tiny difference in carbs/sugar is causing a stall...

    Also this. I don't think that many carbs/cals will make or break you. I would just start adding in the cals and cut back some

    When your total carbs for the day is 20-25, that many makes a huge difference believe it or not. It kicks me right out of ketosis.

    LOL!!!! I'm lacto/ovum (or however you spell it) I eat eggs and cheese. There's tons of low carb stuff if you are a veg, obviously not as much as if you are a meat eater... but I've like 36 pounds doing it this way so it is possible.

    You do realize that any food below 5 calories is legally allowed to be listed as 0? You could be getting an extra 1g of carbs for anything you eat listed as 0 calories.

    FYI every packet of splenda technically has 4 cals and 1 gram of carbs....just in case anyone used a lot and didn't know that....


    like Jorra said, anything under 5 calories per SERVING can legally be listed as 0. So if you dump 5 splenda into your iced tea, it is 5 carbs and 20 calories. and iced tea itself has like 2 calories and half a carb per 8 ounces...

    so a 24 ounce iced tea with 5 splenda should be logged as 26 calories and 7 carbs.....for example

    NOTHING is truly 0 calorie.

    I drink lots of Coffee I also take Dexaprine (when I remember), but if that is not enoufgh I will go buy an energy drink out of the machine. I also really like that 5hour energy ! That is some good stuff, but if u need a boost before you go to the gym to help u make it through your work out. Pick up some kind of Nitric Oside supplement like Ravage at GNC, NO explode, or NO build from bodybuilding.com That's what I use and it Works well for me! :happy:

    Have you tried drinking water?

    Oh, and 15-ish carbs isn't going to make or break you.
    If you're stuck, it's something else.
