    Haven't had a drop of soda since the first of the year.

    No :laugh: you are absolutely not alone.

    Nope .. gave up Diet Pepsi in August. I have never looked back .. and probably will never drink another pop again for a long time.

    That stuff is just so unhealthy. But you guys have fun with it .. I am just happy that I don't go there anymore.

    yeah i do, at least one can of diet coke or pepsi max per day and ive lost almost 10kg in 9 weeks. if diet drinks were really that bad for you, then they wouldnt be on the market. its just another excuse for people to remain overweight if you ask me

    I have, for the most part, cut out soda. I was severely addicted to the stuff. (Even diet, I'd easily drink 5-8 cans per day if I could. I've drank 18 in one day before) If there is no other option, I will have a diet occasionally now, but like twice a month. Anymore it just tastes like chemicals and syrup now, which I am actually grateful that I have that reaction now, haha. I don't think I've finished a can on my own in almost 5 months.

    I don't think there's anything wrong with it, just moderation :)

    I don't drink "soda" ... anything caffeinated or carbonated, but I do keep a pitcher of SF fruit punch in the fridge. I like to pat myself on the back for not drinking "soda" but in truth, I'm sure my drink isn't really that different when it comes to the concerns about diet soda. I do water it down quite a bit ...

    I don't bother, I so rarely feel like soda when I do fancy it - I'll just a get a normal one

    I only drink diet sodas when I'm eating out, but even nowadays I've gotten better at asking for hot tea instead of soda. I probably only have it a couple times a week at most, it's just not as appealing anymore.

    Absolutely, at least three or four times weekly. I've already cut out animal products, refined sugar and flour, food dyes, and MSG. I will get to diet soda when I'm good and ready, which is to say maybe never.

    I can honestly say that I am almost completely off the diet soda...I may still have 1 or 2 a month. My weakness is the occasional Sparkling Water Beverage, the flavored water with aspartame in it. Normally I'm plain water or seltzer, but the white grape beverage just calls to me. I limit them to a liter every couple days, and just have to think, rational or not, that it has GOT TO BE better than soda, diet or not, no? :ohwell:

    I've started to drink sugar free "diet" Red Bull on nights out clubbing as I am trying not to drink alcohol. The lesser of two evils in my mind!
