    I've cut diet soda out of my diet entirely. I heard that the sweetener used in diet soda has been linked with all kinds of problems later in life, such as dementia and alzheimers. Don't know if this is true, but I figure water is cheaper and healthier anyway, so that's what I drink for the most part.

    I actually heard that from a chiropractor that goes to my church. He taught a several night series about fitness and nutrition at my church and said there is a lot of information about the aspartame in diet soda and other lower calorie drink options on the web...I did a quick google search and found several articles...something to think about...but then again I've also heard that getting flu shots can cause problems in old age too...and I haven't done any personal research about either of these topics...so it's really just hearsay from someone that I consider to be reliable lol

    I think that it is the caffenine (and the other additives) that has some weird effect, but it definitely helps to reduce how much soda you drink and like you are already doing, drinking more water! :glasses: I think reducing my intake of soda helped me with shedding some lbs.

    I quit drinking soda. I was addicted to Pepsi. My stomach feels so much better now. I only drink Water and occasionally Crystal Light. I have learned a few new things about water.....ofcourse drink atleast 64 ounces per day but it is recommended to drink an extra glass of water for every 25 lbs over weight that you are. Not to exceed 120 oz though. This helps shed the weight faster and drinking water helps your skins elasticity so when you do lose weight your skin is not saggy!!
