haha okay so. do you drink diet sodas or not? i know some people say no cause of the fake sugars and some people say yes because of the low calories. whats your imput?

i think, personally, that is is okay to drink them in moderation. i limit myself to one or less a day. i try not to overdue it. i use to be a six pack a day kind of person but not anymore. i can go a day or two without one and be perfectly fine. they are yummy but i liek to get my water in too.

    I dont i just dont like the taste , i figure soft drink or soda as you guys call it is a treat and so when i do have it i just have a normal coke i just limit it to like a couple of times a month and basically just drink water the rest of the time ,,, if i liked the taste though id probably have it more often

    I quite frankly can't drink diet anything.

    I've cut out all soda's, but at first I did try to substitute diet for the real thing and I couldn't handle the flat taste of the diet drinks. If I couldn't have the real thing, I just wasn't going to have anything at all.

    It's worked out better for me so far. It's a sense of accomplishment in being able to say I don't drink soda's of any kinda and I'll take that feeling anywhere I can get it :wink:

    THIS^^^ unless of course the booze is IN the soda, then it is perfectly acceptable in all of its forms.

    There are very few diet sodas I like so I tend not to drink them. I can tolerate Coke Zero, Diet Cherry 7up, and Diet Ginger Ale the most. Like @woo commented, I just don't like the taste of most diet sodas for the most part.

    I used to drink regular soda just about every day but I have cut it out completely from my meal plan. I'm sticking with water for meals now.

    No to diet soda or any carbonated drink! You're just putting crap into your body. Stick to water, teas and natural juices.

    I do drink Coke Zero or Diet Coke (which ever is available at the moment) and I don't think I'm going to give it up.

    I'm not really a fan of soda because it makes me break out. Also, diet coke makes me have a hard time sleeping. I stick with a glass of V8 fruit juice in the morning and water for the rest of the day.

    Every once in a blue I have a diet soda. I'm wild and crazy like that. Don't even try to stop me. You can't.

    I'm a Coke Zero addict! I used to drink Diet Coke and switched when Coke Zero came out. I've tried the one with Splenda and didn't like it much. I probably have about 3 a day. I know I should limit myself more but the truth is it quenches my thirst like nothing else. I'd rather have a Coke Zero than any booze. I'd actually rather have water than booze. I'm not much of a drinker.

    Some people can't give up their coffee ... I can't give up my Coke Zero. If I go to restaurants that only serves the regular diet stuff I drink that without a problem. :)

    No good will come of that rock and roll lifestyle of yours.

    I can't stand the taste of diet fizzy drinks, I think you can really taste the sweeteners in them which leaves a horrid taste. I've never been a big drinker of fizzy drinks anyway, I happily live without them these days (I only used to buy them when my ex wanted some).

    Although, I used to work in a pub and I loved the diet coke that came out of the tap. It was basically soda water with a concentrated syrup so I think it was just really watery, but I liked it.

    I love it, but I just gave it up. I think the carbonation makes you bloat.

    i used to drink them everyday.. pretty much all day.. but now, i drink more water. i have a diet soda once/twice a month.. i usually just have one when i want something fizzy, and just having one every so often fixes that.

    Depends. If its Coke, I prefer the real deal. Dr. Pepper, I prefer Diet or Dr. Pepper 10. Pepsi I'll drink either. I vote drink what you like.

    I've had Diet Coke every day for the past week. It's glorious and I don't think I will stop anytime soon. When I'm stressed I need the caffeine.

    Oh c'mon, is no one going to make the observation that Dr. Pepper 10 is NOT for women??? Is there something you want to tell us all???

    no. no. no. no. no. its so bad for you. i used to drink it every day, all day. and i gave it up 8 months ago. I do NOT miss it!

    however, when i do want something with sugar and fizz, i stick to sprite. and i MIGHT have one a month.

    I only drink 1 or 2 can of diet soda. Mostly 1 a day only. This is moderation. I find it silly that some chose boose over soda. Many of those have high calories.
