Has anyone had success losing wt and still drinking diet soda? I'm not a big fan of water.

    Yep. It has very few calories so it won't hinder anything.

    I drink diet mountain dew every single day. Mostly in the mornings as I am not a coffee person. Most all diet soda is calorie free. As such, it has no effect on weight loss or gain.

    I drink it every day, hasn't hindered my weight loss in the least. Which makes perfect sense, since a zero calorie drink doesn't add any calories to your diet.

    So, @DanielleGrubaugh2014 , what's your favorite brand/flavor? Have you tried the Coke Zero?

    Thank you for all the responses! I'm so happy to hear this. I know it's calorie free, but it does have quite a bit of sodium in it. I was just worried that I wouldn't see results on the scale as much because of the sodium/water retention.

    I still drink diet soda and don't feel its hindered my weight loss in the least. I decided to give up alcohol except for a very small glass of wine (2 oz) from time to time so if I had to give up my diet soda as well, I'd feel too deprived and likely could not stick with the program!

    I just looked at the diet soda in my fridge. It has 25mg per serving. Diet soda does not have quite a bit of sodium. That's a myth.

    Wow! Well my A&W Root Beer has 110mg per can. What diet soda do you drink that only has 25mg?

    I just checked my Diet Dr. Pepper and there is 55mg, which is 2% of the RDA. So your 110 is like 4 or 5% (taking rounding into consideration). So just don't drink 10 a day :wink:
