    I love Diet Coke/Diet Pepsi, but I have to give it up. For me, the artificial sweetness triggers my monster sweet tooth and makes me crave sweet things. I found that I had to give it up completely. And yes, I miss it. (I have never drank regular soda.)

    I used to drink diet soda to kill my appetite, and it worked pretty well. It never "gave me cravings," as some people suggest. This is a great chance to be your own scientist using yourself as the subject: drink some and see if you have cravings. If it is a big effect, it should be easy to detect, as they say.

    Anyway, now diet soda just upsets my stomach. Maybe that's what it was doing all along. When I want caffeine, I drink tea.
