LOL IT'S WATER GET IT GUYZ
This joke is so old and so irritating. Give it a rest.
apparently not old enough
Don't kid yourself, that's a very dead horse you're beating. Dead and incredibly unfunny and unoriginal.
You destroyed me. My goal in life has been to be completely original, never treading a beaten path and I have utterly failed. What lessons are there to be learned on a road weary from so many feet? *picks flower and stares*

95% of the things we eat/do/drink/or even smell are dangerous, if we REALLY cared about it, we wouldnt have a life at all, or we would have a crappy one.
MODERATION.... I rather have a diet soda once or twice a week, than being a complete ***** just cause im craving one and i cant have it.0 -
mmmm....diet soda (weaknesses involve diet coke, diet dr. pepper, and the cherry variations thereon). Yes. I drink like...8ish a day. It's not great, but it's not bad either. I'm getting 64 oz of water a day, and I'm happy (I don't drink coffee, so this is my caffeine, and I love the way the bubbles dance upon my tongue). It's not great for me, but there are worse things, and it's not like it's bad. People talk about it like I'm chugging 12 oz of veggie oil or something.There are worse things to worry about than diet soda. The thing is, nobody who drinks it actually thinks, "This diet soda is GOOD for me." We know. We get it. Diet soda is terrible, we should drink water, ok.
It is, in fact, actually bad for you.
oh right.. srs now. Yeah, I guess there's some bad stuff in there. I try to cut down but I still have a can of diet coke here and there.0 -

I thought for sure the first response was going to be someone calling me out and we could move on to a discussion about the chemicals we consume. Seems like this is still a lesson to be learned - don't accept the tone of an argument just because it sounds authoritative and has a bunch of unfamiliar words.0 -

me too - I still eat stuff that is supposed to be bad but try to cut back but if I'm miserable what's the point? I've been slowly changing my habits, doing my research the best I can, and changing the BIG things. The rest comes later.. baby steps.0 -

it seems someone has looooots of free time on his hands, that he has to come and troll around. Good job mister, good job.0 -

you dont need to cut stuff, you just need to LEARN how to eat and you are done. IMO Ppl that cut stuff completely out of their diet means its cause they dont have self control, they rather do that cause then cant eat/drink just a bit to get rid of the cravings.0 -

Perhaps as much time as you have posting in what you've decided is a troll thread. I quite enjoy the forums, as you also seem to do based on the impressive number of posts you have. Why fault me for spending my free time here?0 -

in total agreement0 -
Take it for what it is. The guy is just trying to help everyone. I personally cut all types of soda for the last 4 months. Don't need it at all, don't crave it.
Look at it this way, can you hurt yourself by NOT cutting out soda from your diet? Yes, you can.
Can you hurt yourself by CUTTING it out of your diet???, NOT AT ALL.
We don't need soda of any kind, does it provide any known health benefits? CERTAINLY NOT. It's empty calories. A cocktail of **** our bodies can't use. Full of chemicals and the devil (HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP). It rots our teeth, elevates our sugars, creates acid in the body, weakens our bones, increases triglycerides, increases body fat, impairs brain functions....and I can go on and on. The **** is just plain bad, diet or regular. There's plenty of other things we could be using our calories for. And yes, people are gonna say "but there's no calories in DIET soda" but yes, technically you're right. But you're making a trade for worse things. There are so many people living off this crap. Diet soda has been a major player in the obesity epidemic.0 -

indeed! Including my own beliefs! There was a time where I would have SWORN low carb dieting was the way to go but since then I've learned otherwise. It got me started on the path though...0 -
I've been drinking diet soda for years and plan to continue

What kind of statement is this? Ummmm people who cut out **** they know is bad for them DO have self control. Or they wouldn't be able to even CUT IT OUT in the first place? That just makes no sense......Just because we know it's bad for us doesn't mean it's easy to go cold turkey. For me not having a diet soda twice a week didn't mean the difference between being *****y or not.0 -

lol I think this statement actually proved the opposite point. People that cut stuff out do it BECAUSE they have the self control to do so.....As opposed to someone who refuses to face the cravings and have to have "just a bit to get rid of the cravings"
Thats like saying a crack head that just does crack once a week to get rid of his craving has more self control than a recovering crack head that no longer does crack.....:laugh:0 -
Diet soda doesnt' count as dihydrogen monoxide. Only dihydrogen monoxide counts, that's why it's called dihydrogen monoxide.

What they don't realize is that the cravings go away. Its not like we're just itching for the next hit every day of our lives. Eventually (Took me about a week) the cravings go away.
But you better believe by day three I was crying like a baby!! LITERALLY addicted!! Seeing that response my body was having opened my eyes to the fact that I was addicted and that I'm NEVER having it ever again!!0 -
