Water or Soda? which do you drink?

I drink at least 64oz of water a day, usually more and I typically still do have a diet soda. I see no reason not to. The only thing I do avoid is replacing water with diet soda. If I notice that I am doing that for the day (like at a bbq or social event) I do remind myself to grab water the next time I go for a drink.

I find the opposite of the OP. I was much hungrier and eating more when I was drinking soda. Part of it was probably that I was drinking regular soda, and sugar does its quick burn, energy drop, feed me more sugar thing. But even if I drink a diet 7-up, which I do occasionally, I feel like I want to eat more. I thought maybe it was the carbonation, not filling me up, but in fact, adding gas to the stomach, pumping it up like a balloon, making more room

What do you like to drink? I try to not be rigid, because that is the old way I tried to lose weight, which never worked long term.

I drink: water with ice; water with ice & lemon slices; beer; wine; unsweetened vanilla almond milk; Virgil's diet creme soda (Sprouts); and anything that fits my plan and looks delicious.
Deprivation won't work for me--never has.
I am careful what I have in the house at this point. I buy one beer at a time. I bought a six-pack one and drink 3 before i went to bed. Crazy but I was still within my calorie range. Not good from the point of macros : ^ }

Add some things in that are FUN to drink! Red and white straws and pretty glasses are on my table now. I try to attend to the visual aspect of things too.

Water, diet soda, tea, beer, wine, and alcohol.

I love cold water. It feels so much more refreshing than anything else. I don't drink juice and rarely drink soda. I drink a ton of coffee though.

Diet soda is all artificial junk. I would suggest Scheckters Organic Energy. All organic, no artificial colours, flavours etc. I tend to drink that if I want something that isn't water. Seriously soda, especially diet, is terrible for you but I guess your favorite fizzy drink (preferably the full sugar one) once in a blue moon isn't going to kill you though.

I prefer water, but I have the occasional soda. One or two a week, lately, because I bought an 8 pack on special offer. Usually, I only have one or two a month. In the evenings and on weekends, I like to drink hot tea with milk and sugar.

Another vote for both.

I drink plain water every day, several unsweetened coffees per day, the equivalent of around 3 cans of diet soda per week, 1 or 2 glasses of juice or milk per week.

I don't like carbonated water, much prefer still water. Usually rainwater from home, now and then buy bottled water.

Mostly plain water for me. It has got to be COLD tho. I usually put a half bottle in the freezer and then add water to it to drink later. I do have an occasional diet coke, but I'm talking maybe once a month or so. Love me my coffee tho....

I think it's kind of ill advised to assume that soda is better for you than water or better for weight loss. That being said there's no reason not to have the things you enjoy. I personally have been drinking water exclusively but I've never had a problem with drinking plain water (drinking through a straw also helps!). My boyfriend can't stand plain water and he drinks diet soda and iced coffee constantly. there's no reason to force down bottles of water if it's making you miserable. I think both are fine but I prefer water!

Tea in the morning, water during the day, a diet soda as a treat. I filter my water to make it taste better. Maybe a beer once a week.

I mostly drink ice cold water with lemon. I usually have a cup of coffee or two in the mornings. Sometimes I have unsweetened tea with lemon (I do NOT like sweetened tea. At all. The only time I sweeten my tea is if it does not taste good but I'm thirsty and it's all I have LOL). Soda is an occasional thing for me--I do like it but I drink the regular stuff. Artificial sweeteners make me ill--the older I get, the worse my reaction is. I can't even chew gum because of the artificial sweeteners in it

I have been told, "Don't drink soda, drink water its better for you." So that is why I tried just water to see what the outcome would be. I'm glad I did that experiment.

Who told you that?

I drink flavored water throughout the day. Usually flavored with blue hawaiian punch or crystal light packets. Also drink a lot of green tea with mango. I have one , sometimes two diet sodas a day though. I used to be able to drink a 2 liter of regular cherry coke in one sitting! Now I'm down to one or two cherry coke zeros or diet cherry vanilla dr peppers.

I had Diet Coke the other day for the first time in 3 months. Safe to say I didn't enjoy it as much as I used to.

Either water or tea for me now. Flavored water is my substitute for juice.
