Hi I really miss coke but don't miss all the calories in one drink. I was just wondering if you had to recommend a soft drink that taste good which would you recommend. I don't like the taste of diet pop but willing to give it another try. Thanks for your suggestions.

    Uhh, if you don't mind all of the chemicals in energy drinks, Monster just came out with a new product called Zero Ultra: it's absolutely delicious (it's like a fruit punch flavor) and it has 0 calories. It comes in a pretty cool looking white can, you should try it out if you like that extra boost of caffeine without the calories.

    I can't stand diet coke or diet pepsi, but I like Coke Zero and Diet Dr. Pepper. Coke Zero is a lot closer to a real coke for me, without having all the sugar/calories.

    If you have tried all of the diets and dislike them, I always suggest just drinking HALF the amount of the full sugar soda! That's only if you have the willpower to do so. :)

    I personally was addicted to Diet Cherry Pepsi. Coke...not so much. lol Water is my (and my scales) favorite drink now!!

    My favorite is Big Red zero. After that is Diet Coke cherry. When I'm out I like to get a Sonic large Diet Coke with chocolate, or at the gas station I get a Coke zero topped off with regular Dr. Pepper or Big Red.

    For me, it has to be Pepsi Max. Won't even touch Diet Coke :sick: and Coke Zero tastes too chemically.

    I like the San Pelegrino carbonated beverages. They're all natural and use cane sugar. I'm also a big fan of Mexican coke (cane sugar) and Mexican Fanta (cane sugar). I don't do high fructose corn syrup and I don't do the fake weird **** in diet sodas. I just fit it in...I have a soda maybe once or twice per week.

    IMHO, might as well have just real sugar...at least your body knows what to do with it.

    I find flavored diet sodas (Diet Wild Cherry Pepsi, Diet Dew, Diet Dr Pepper, Diet Cherry Coke, etc) much tastier than plain diet soda, especially when I first made the switch to diet.

    I have switched from regular pepsi to diet pepsi. I used to HATE diet sodas but what I did was stick a can in the freezer til it got super cold and it didn't taste too bad...so I have been drinking diet pepsi if it is really cold-almost slushy- :)

    Diet Mountain Dew, Coke Zero, Cherry Coke Zero, Fanta Orange Zero, Diet Dr. Pepper all taste really good, close to the real deal - trust me!

    Diet Rite and diet RC are the only diet anything that I can drink at all. It does not taste like anything artificial.

    Personally, if i were a big pop drinker, I would have it be a great treat for myself maybe once a week, and have what I really want. I'm a drinker, which is just jam packed with empty calories, and love a cold beer after a day in the yard. (vodka and soda is great and all, but sometimes you want a beer) So i treat myself to a cold one after my weekly yard work. It's a reward, and I enjoy it all the more.

    Diet Root Beer or diet Dr. Pepper isn't to bad. Also flavored water or MIO is pretty good as well.

    I like Diet Coke or Diet Vanilla Coke :) Diet Pepsi just has a weird taste to me. Sometimes diet rootbeer. I don't drink diet soda a lot not even a 12 pack a week...one a day maybe...some days none.

    I usually just have a regular soda, but if I'm craving one and don't really want to use the calories on it, I'll have Diet Dr. Pepper with a squeeze of lime. I also like Diet Cherry DP and Zevia cream soda.

    I didn't see anyone else suggest this. Not trying to be rude or disrespectful... how about just water? Add a little lemon or lime to it. We all need to drink more water. I cut all soft drinks out. Took some getting used to, but I'm glad I did. But I draw the line... not giving up my coffee! Good luck with your goals!!!!!

    Diet rite, Diet dr pepper and diet a&w root beer tastes just like the regular. Diet pepsi only if there is nothing else.

    Diet Dr. Pepper and Diet Dr. Pepper Cherry are OT bad at all! I too am a Coke lover. I am starting to get used to Diet Coke with Lime, but it's still not as good as the read thing?
