    I drink a Coke Zero every day. Guilt free. I am not a rodent. Too much of anything is not good, but moderation is just fine. Stop feeling guilty.
    I do the exact same thing. :-)

    No, not for about a decade.......maybe a few a year. Diet pop doesn't spike anything, but it can be a trigger and unless dosage is huge there's no research that says it's necessarily bad for you.

    I drink it, and I make no secret of that. I drink about 2 to 3 liters of diet caffeine free Pepsi per day.

    I used to drink Pepsi Max everyday. Now only occasionally. Probably never again. The longer I go without it the more my stomach hurts when I drink it. Now I drink black iced tea with stevia for my special drink.

    This. I lost almost 60lbs drinking diet soda every day and I'm now maintaining that loss while drinking diet soda every day. Nothing wrong with it.

    If drinking diet soda makes you feel guilty, you have serious issues with your relationship with food.

    I usually have a can of coke zero/dr pepper 10 once a day, around 2:30 M-F because I have a boring desk job where I have an hour and a half of nothing to do from 2:30-4. I haven't had a soda yet this week (sore in my mouth from too much vitamin C), and I'm not going to drink any next week in hopes of cutting any extra bloat so that the picky relatives on Thanksgiving won't have anything to pick on me for.

    No, I don't drink diet coke - mostly because I find it completely disgusting. However I do have at least one regular coke a day. Coke is one of the things I promised myself that I would never ever give up. And quite frankly cutting soda out of my diet isn't going to do much. I'm not one of those people who would sit around and just constantly drink coke after coke after coke. I maybe have three Cokes a day - max - because I can only drink them with meals. Furthermore, one 12 oz can of Coke is 140 calories - which is fewer calories than raw milk (150 for 8 oz) and most juices (my apple cider/glorified apple juice is 180 for 12 oz). So I easily manage to fit one a day, and giving it up completely would only free up 140 calories and piss me off, so not worth it in my book.

    We have a Sodastream and a bottle of diet syrup in almost every flavour that they make.

    Not daily, but I don't deny myself diet Vernor's or diet Squirt. As long as you don't have a bad reaction to the artificial sweeteners, why deny yourself?

    Me.

    Drinking a diet pepsi right now.

    I usually go a few weeks without and then go a week drinking a bunch and then a few more weeks without. I figure, weighing 241 pounds is way more unhealthy then when I drink diet soda.
