    I have a Diet Coke every day and will continue to do so until I die.

    There's nothing wrong with having a Diet Coke.

    Just my 2 cents from a recovering Coca Cola addict:

    either water it down, gradually adding less soda to the point where you don't need the soda anymore or try incorporating juicing into your diet. I found when I juice more, cravings for all sorts of foods are eliminated or cut way back.

    a few people said it already - but cold turkey is the way to go in my opinion - your taste buds will after 30 days not be interested in the flavour of it i guarantee!

    It's been scientifically proven that diet coke damages your brain cells and makes you crave carbs.
    I've been a lot happier since I quit.

    Not being a "hater", not being "mean" - just totally curious if you have links to back that up? I enjoy diet pop and most of the research I have done has shown it is fine in moderation. If you have a link to the study that proves it damages brain cells - please link! I need to read it.
    I'll be fascinated to see the science behind this one.

    me too :smile:

    I switched, gradually, over to nothing but Diet Decaffeinated Green Tea......and now I'm ADDICTED to that stuff, it's so satisfying...I might have 1 diet coke per month, in a restaurant...that's it, I don't even miss it :)

    Green Tea is naturally caffeine free. And what makes it "diet tea?" Just don't add sweetener, and it's calorie-free.

    This sounds awful. Going from zero calorie diet soda to lotsa calories of juice. If I'm going to add calories, I better damn well be eating them!

    I too used to buy the sonic super large sized diet coke. I noticed it made me crave sugar, so I am determined to stop. So far, it's been 6 days!!! Huge,huge fan of flavored green tea. Bigelow makes a pomegranate flavor that's just awesome.

    You can do it! go for a water every time you think you want a diet coke, keep water with you at all times, thats what's been helping me!! Good luck to you! :smile:

    Unfortunately I am not help to this topic...Diet Coke is the nectar of the gods.

    However, I can say that I used to drink Diet Coke daily and also snacked a lot. I now go for the nectar MAYBE once a week (more so a 1-2 times a month) and I have no urge to snack anymore. Not sure if the two correlate, but it's possible!

    I drank coke for a whole summer when taking classes in college...first time addicted to sodas, and did not realize it.
    I quit drinking it when the classes were done, and found myself laying around for a week with a headache.
    Quitting cold-turkey is one option.
    I think sodas are better replaced with cultured fizzy drinks....kombucha is an example. GT Dave's Synergy is an example, I love those! They're actually really good for you, give you a sense of well-being and have vitamins and other factors in them.
    That "sense of well-being" could easily be related to Kombucha's alcohol content.
    NO, the alcohol content is monitored. It is, apparently, the acids...they relax the gut muscles. Also contains vitamin b12.

    I have started my quest to quit Coke Zero thisweek...
    Day 1: SUCCESS! Temptation was huge - I went to do my grocery shopping and there is a whole aisle of sugary drinks - which I always walk past by and then at the very end of the aisle is the sugar free COKE ZERO smiling at me...then the smaller packages at the check in counter ...but I won :)
    Day2: success -so far. I avoided grabbing a can on the way to work! :)
