I am not sure what your problem is, other than your Diet Coke has an addictive ingredient. I gave up all soda's right away. I loved regular Coke but just to many calories to justify and once I switched to water I did not see any nutritional value in drinking diet soda when there are so many benefits to water. And to be honest I hated water. Now I crave you.
I am not really that health conscious and do not exercise near as much as I should. But I was able to give up the soda habit. You can too.
There is absolutely NOTHING in your Diet Coke that is good for you. Just pick a day and end it all. I actually stopped all caffeine but
that was not my plan. I just found once I started drinking water I really didn't want anything else.
Good Luck!!0 -
I love love love love LOVE!!!! Diet Dr. Pepper... and I am not ready to give it up EVER!!! I've tried! I now limit myself to one a day at work... and that's it. And that's tough! But I survive. One a day... surely won't kill me?!0

Probably not. I can't stand diet drinks at all, which means for me it's regular or nothing. Luckily I'm big enough at the moment that my calorie budget has room for a can or two a day if I'm willing to give up some real food. Once I finish my current stock though I'm probably going to stop buying it completely. It'll suck, but hopefully I'll stop craving it quickly.0

There is nothing wrong with you. I've been drinking a can of diet coke 4-5 days a week for over 30 years now.
Although the poster is correct that there's no nutritional value to it, I find it refreshing and a good mid-day pick-me-up.
Or course, if it bothers you, you could always switch to beer! :drinker:0 -
I am totally addicted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have tried to quit multiple times, but I just can't help it!0

I am 54, 5ft 6 in, and 147 pounds I try to wean down to one a day and then pretty soon I am back up to 3 a day and have to start all over again. I also drink 120 ounces of water per day as well. Maybe I just need to go cold turkey. When I was on chemotherapy diet coke tasted nasty and I was hoping that it would carry over but it didn't so three years later I am still drinking the stuff.0

Except the 95% of it, which is water, and is terrific for you.
The rest is neutral to meh.0 -
I am totally addicted to Diet Coke...I drink WAY too much of it. I need to cut down to 1-2 glasses a day and do plan on doing that in the near future. I don't drink water and that is a bad thing for me. I plan on replacing soda with water or decaf iced tea.0

Hey
I used to be MEGA addicted to diet coke a few years back. Where I used to live shops closed really early, and I'd get massive diet coke cravings. So I'd call dominoes pizza and order 6 2ltr bottles to get the price high enough for them to deliver. I did that about 4 times! Shameful, I know - and I'd get through all 6 in about 3 days.
But in 2013 I gave up diet coke for a year as a New Years resolution, and, believe it or not, I really didn't drink any for the entire year. Now it's 2014 and I've had a can… and I've really lost my taste for it! If you went cold turkey for a bit I'm sure you'd be the same0 -
Moderation of it isn't harmful. Personally I've been drinking diet Pepsi for over 25 years now with none of the purported issues claimed by "naturalists".
