Before starting Mfp I never saw the point in drinking diet sodas, especially if I was eating "bad" anyways. I never liked the taste of diet sodas, thought they were gross..But after drinking water so much, I sometimes want something else. I don't like wasting my calories on drinks so I tried a Diet Dr. Pepper and I am now a fan! I like Pepsi Max too, when it's really cold. But I only drink one at work. Sorry for the ramble lol..hope everyone's having a Happy Friday!!!!

    Right back at ya!
    I'm a diet soda fan, too! Like you, I generally hate 'wasting' my calories on liquids other than protein shakes/smoothies.

    I drink diet sodas regularly and have actually developed a taste for them. I. I'm more of an aspartame kind of guy than other 'fake sugars.'
    That being said, when I do have a 'regular' soda, it's really good!

    I switched to Pepsi max from full fat cola about a year ago. After a few weeks, my OH and I were out for a meal and said 'ooh shall we have full fat cola as a treat?' We both couldn't drink it because it was sooo sweet. Other than water or tea, I don't drink anything else now. Pepsi max rules!!! :D

    When it comes to diet sodas, it's the store brand ones that often taste bad [I'm looking at you, Diet Dr Thunder]. Some of the fruit flavored diet sodas are decent, but most are not. My favorites tend to be diet root beer [Diet A&W] and diet ginger ale [Diet Canada Dry and, if I want a good kick to it, Diet C*** & Bull ginger ale].

    I love my store brand Diet Grapefruit. I bought it grudgingly when my store did not have Diet Squirt and I found I liked it better. It's more grapefruity than the Squirt.

    Diet Dr. Pepper is LOVE.

    I also love Diet A&W Root Beer. It's bizarre. Doesn't even taste diet to me.

    I have been addicted to diet soda for sometime now. I love it, it's like crack for me really. LOL. I'm having a hard time giving it up, it has started to break out my skin with acne really bad. If I stop drinking soda for a few weeks my face clears up. But just one can will break my face out overnight! :(
