Diet pop

Used to drink tons of it. Diet Pepsi .. but now, almost never.

That **** is full of **** and just better to limit consumption. End of Story.

I average probably one Coke Zero a day. It actually curbs my cravings because it's almost a treat to me.

I drink it occasionally. Say 1 or 2 a week (Coke Zero and Sunkist or A&W 10). Diet soda is not the enemy despite what some may say here.

It is if you want to quit drinking it and can't.

The point is, there's really no reason to quit beyond a personal preference. And "quitting" sodas isn't really that hard. In most cases it's a matter of caffeine, which really has nothing to do with soda at all, as they could switch to coffee or tea.

MY point is I often see people saying "oh, I have to quit drinking soda but it's so hard! I've cut back but I love it SOOO much and I want more!" I was a pack-a-day smoker for 15 years and I know the hell of quitting an addiction. I'm not suggesting soda is anything like nicotine but the "it's so hard to quit" refrain sure sounds familiar. I'm just glad it never became an issue for me thanks to my parents.

I drink a 2 liter of diet whatever everyday. I have about 10, 2liters and 6 cases in the fridge right now. All i want to do is eat sugary stuff. Drinking these stops that. Their like snacks for me. Love them and cant see giving them out

I used to drink 6-8 20 oz. bottles or more of regular soda per day. I lost ALL my upper teeth and all but three of my lower molars because of it and now wear an upper dental plate. When I began trying to lose weight back in September, I quit drinking regular soda cold turkey. At first, I drank just iced tea as a replacement for the caffeine and water. But I missed the sweetness of regular soda too so I tried Crystal Light. I didn't like it, tasted way too sweet to me. Bleh... Consequently, I still have a canister of it in my cupboard. So I gave that up and for a few months just drank 8-12 cups of water a day instead. Just water, no juice or milk (except on cereal now and then).

About a month or so ago, I started drinking Diet Coke, one or two a week. I don't know what possessed me to drink it, always despised the aftertaste of Diet sodas in the past. I don't notice it now though, weird. I think maybe I just got sick of only drinking water. Anyway, I've now switched to Cherry Diet Dr. Pepper and have one 12 oz. can or occasionally a 20 oz. bottle per day with my evening meal. I don't count it as my water though, I still drink at least 8-12 cups a day along with the one Diet soda and I also have coffee when I get up.

I tried a sip of my husband's regular soda one day a few months ago and couldn't believe how overly sweet it tastes to me now. So glad I gave it up. I'm convinced ditching regular soda in favor of mostly water has been one of the biggest reasons I've been able to lose so much weight and now feel better than I have in decades.

I did South Beach quite a number of years ago and the best thing to come out of doing that was that I no longer drink sugary drinks. I used to just guzzle Tropicana, Fruitopia, and Kool-aid. I now have no desire to have that and instead drink water and loose leaf tea.

The same goes for pop. I don't like the sweetness of regular pop anymore, and its just not worth the 40g of sugar that is in each can.
I have for the past year been drinking coke zero in the evenings....a 12 pack normally lasts me 3 months or so. I just recently discovered that diet Dr. Pepper tastes the same as regular and that was my favourite pop in the past...so, I will be having that every couple nights.

Never! Too much sugar for me.

Diet soda doesn't contain sugar.

Other than a little sodium, it's the same as drinking seltzer in terms of how it affects macros.
