Any reason other than personal? I use it when dieting and so does my fiancee, it won't stop any results from the diet.
Of course if its just personal preference then I'll shut the hell up! LOL :laugh:0 -

Coke Zero.

I have a diet coke/pepsi when I go out to a restaurant... when I'm at home I have water, tea, Crystal Lite or milk.0

Next month I'll officially have not had a soda in a year. I gave both that and sweet tea up. The way I stopped is I started drinking water and iced tea a lot more. Like I can live off of just iced tea and water. Maybe find a favorite tea and have it in the fridge cold all the time?0

Try adding citrus to your water maybe? Or iced tea? An occasional diet soda doesn't really hurt it mostly has sodium and thats about it0
-
I stopped drinking pop and I replaced it with tea (lots of different types), fruit juices and iced tea!
I only really have it occasionally now and I don't crave it like I used to do.

Water, water or water? It gets easier. Now, I'll only have one when I go out for dinner or something.0

Give soda water a try, and some water enhancer to it, to give it flavor or lemon. You'll be ok without it though. I don't really miss drinking it myself. I actually prefer water now... weird.0

I've been trying to give it up, too. I tried to go without any caffeine on Friday and I had the worst headache EVER! Maybe you could drink sparkling flavored water to get the carbonation that pop has, or coffee, tea, and juice.0

Save for later.
I think the objection is to the Sucralose, which is a relatively new artificial sweetener.0 -

I drink it for the caffeine, too. Usually late at night when coffee is not available.0 -
I drink water most of the day, then have Diet Rite Cola in the evening. It has 0 Calories, 0 Caffeine, 0 Sodium.0

i drink tea without sugar. i'm training myself to get used to not including a sugary flavour in drinks. it is hard not to have sugar, however i have come to the conclusion that it is essential if you want to maintain a good figure and good health.0

Drink tea.0

Diet coke used to be my lifeline! But it does cause bloating and is full of chemicals so I used low-sugar squash and carbonated water or the water and a squeeze of lemon or lime does the trick!0
-
I started drinking seltzer. I like the orange or lemon/line favor.0
-
Try some herbal teas. Celestial herbal tea has a lot of good flavors.0
-
Alternatives to what? Are you trying to give up sweeteners? caffeine? carbonation? It would help if you told us why you're giving up diet coke.0
-
pepsi max diet has less sodium..add any fruit to water for flavoring.0
-
If you like it, then drink it.0
