I need to know, who else on here drinks diet soda on their d

I gave up soda almost 3 years ago because I can't have carbonation. I use to drink diet drinks. What I noticed after kicking the habit was I stopped craving sweets. I stil
l have the occasional sip, but it's no longer part of my regular diet plan.
I recommend staying away from aspartame and stick with Splenda or sucralose. It's much better for you. Don't know if there are any sodas out there made with them though.:drinker:

I do. I don't drink it daily but I have a couple cans in the span of a week sometimes, usually I stick to water, have some milk if I'm having a protein shake or cereal and the occasional (and I mean VERY occasional) glass of orange juice.

I Love Mountain Dew, but i prefer to eat my calories rather than drink them. I try to only have lots of water most days. But if we go out to eat, i will sometimes get diet coke just to say i had pop to my brain. I know it is worse for you, but it is only one every couple of weeks.

I do, but not to the frequency I used to. I used to drink 1-2 20oz bottles nearly every day, now I have a 12oz can every other day or so. It's hard at times, but you get used to it. For example, when I go to a party, I grab some water or gatorade zero along, and that helps to curb the urge to grab a soda.

I do drink Coke Zero or 7up sugarfree, not every day but probably a few cans a week.
I do also drink at least a litre of water a day but sometimes that gets a bit boring:happy:

i refuse diet drinks...the artificial sweetener causes you to have even more cravings. i used to drink five to six sodas a day...now i drink one...if that normally like every other day sometimes not even that often...but i am down 70 lbs. so i figure if i can lose as much as i have on regular soda then go ahead and have your diet soda. what is one going to hurt??

Diet soda is actually worse than regular soda (TOXIC)

That article hardly says diet soda is toxic.

It's completely fine in moderation.

ughh i drink too much of it. i honestly love the taste of diet soda (not as sugary), but i probably shouldn't drink more than one can a day. usually its more than that.

I've read all about it--acid content, coloring, aspartame, etc.--but am not too worried if i drink it in moderation. So that's what i'm striving for--moderation.

And yes, I don't smoke, drink, do drugs, or abuse my body--so there are worse things I could be doing, i suppose.

Anyone else a bit scared, though? Know you should kick the habit but can't?

I limit my in take of Coke Zero to 1.5 cans a day. But I also drink tons of water. :happy:

I know in TX we have Diet Rite and it is made with Splenda. Last summer i switched from Diet Dr Pepper to Diet Rite and by doing that alone I lost 20 lbs. I stopped drinking it because now I just drink water.

I've never been a big soda drinker but occasionally if I'm having a "hungry day" I'll drink a can of diet root beer in the demon afternoon hours and it helps. My mantra-most things in moderation are O.K.!

thats about the only soda i wont drink diet...is root beer! lol...its just not the same...if im craving a root beer i go all the way! i cant wait till i get back home to texas in a couple weeks...im sooooo drinking a big red, and enjoying every drop of it.

I drink one or two a day. Is it probably bad for me? yes. Am I going to keep doing it? yes. Do you own a cell phone? Drink from plastic water bottles? Drive in traffic breathing fumes? Use tampons? (yes tampons they are dyed in chemicals that have been linked to endometriosis) ... the list goes on and on. All those things are bad for you too ..... just sayin'

my thoughts exactly.

couldnt resist!
