Is anyone else counting the calories of the things they drink?

I don't log water, tea and core without anything added, or diet soda that's under 5 calories. Anything else, absolutely.0

How was diet soda the culprit preventing you from seeing results?
It stops you from seeing results because all the other chemicals and additives can actually make you crave real sugar more than not. Our bodies art designed to handle all the harsh chemicals we pour into them.
This is untrue. If you were drinking "chemicals" you would need to go to the hospital asap. Diet soda is not the debil, and only causes cravings in a small portion of the normal population. It's perfectly fine to drink in moderation.5 -

Which chemicals would they be then?2 -
yeah...if your drink has calories and you're calorie counting, why would you not count the calories from your drink...
Also, what's up with this idea that diet soda has all kinds of sodium...it has a very negligible amount of sodium...do people read labels?3 -

Um, no.
Which harsh chemicals are you referring to?
I've been drinking diet soda for about 25 years - at my lowest weights, at my highest weights and everything in between. It doesn't make my body crave real sugar. It's a beverage which is made up of >95% water and <10 calories. The other ingredients have been proven time and again to be harmless.
And I'll just go ahead and leave this here...

I kinda just thought that was some MFP humor there. But, wow, no. Of all the beverages being consumed, alcohol should without a doubt be logged. Holy crow.1 -

Yes. A calorie is a calorie, whether it comes in a solid or liquid.0

Yes, I even log my black coffee because they do have calories, like 5 per 8 oz.0
