Water or Soda? which do you drink?

I drink both. I usually start my day out drinking water and then around lunch time I have a Diet soda. After that, it's usually back to water unless I'm feeling like another soda would hit the spot.

Why do I have to pick? I drink water, soda, and lots and lots of coffee

Diet soda is guilt free. Though I'm not proud to admit it, I drink over two liters a day, and maybe two glasses of water. Always have, and likely will for a long time. The nigh ninety pounds I've lost speaks for itself.

I'm diabetic, so sweet pop has never been an option, I imagine that'd have a considerable impact.

I drink water (at least 104oz daily), coffee, tea, diet a&w rootbeer, fat-free or 1% milk, beer, club soda with lime.... the list goes on and on.

Weight loss is certainly not linear. You can't drink a diet soda, lose a pound (weight fluctuates day to day anyway) and conclude that therefore, drinking water slows your weight loss and diet soda speeds it up. No correlation let alone causation.

I rarely drink soda anymore... and very limited if I do. I do drink water, mim. of 64 oz. a day I also flavor all my water too with packs like Crystal Light although I use the Walmart brand of flavors.

BUT I also do add in a glass or two of sparkling flavored water (like Pure Zero) gives you the carbonation that you miss not having soda pop and nice flavors, I typically have these at the dinnertime at the table to kind of dress it up lol...

I have always been a water drinking (15-20 glasses a day without trying). I am not a big soda drinker, but also don't drink any sugar-free beverages because aspartame triggers my migraines. I do agree with you on the carbonation, though - I love seltzer water and enjoy the bubbliness.

Beer, on the other hand, is never getting cut out.

i start my day w a nice big glass of ice cold water. I then drink one glass of water before i drink each can of diet soda...and i drink 3-6 a day. Some days i might not drink one, not cause i want to cut them out but just cause i didn't want one.

I drink plain ice water (from the tap) all day long, because I love it. Sometimes I'll throw some lemon in just to switch it up. I feel a lot better than when I used to drink Diet Pepsi all day. But to each their own. Do what works for you.

I don't like room temp water, I sometimes will gag on it - and often just can't keep it down.

I LOVE iced water, and water with lemon or both. Absolutely wonderful - but I do get on better with soda, particular diet ginger beer is what I have, I'm trying to ensure that water dominates my liquid intake.

I mostly drink water during the day also drunk diet sodas, Ice carbonated waters, zero calories energy drinks. I mix it up but my main drink is water.

I drink iced tea and water. Gave up soda a couple years ago, minus an occasional Coca-Cola (preferably the Mexican version made with real sugar) when I need caffeine and brewed tea isn't available.

Both.

I say if you want to drink some diet soda, drink some diet soda. Is it the key to your weight loss? Heavens no. But if you enjoy it, have some. I wouldn't replace drinking water with drinking diet soda though. Water has many benefits for your body like aiding in digestion and keeping you hydrated, which diet pop will not do. Diet pop still has caffeine (unless it is caffeine free pop) In fact, anything with caffeine will help to dehydrate you, not hydrate. That being said, enjoy the pop, coffee, tea, whatever. But try to get at least 8 cups of decaffeinated beverage in a day in addition to your diet pop. Crystal light packets work wonders if you can't handle the taste.

I drink both.
