    I'm an addict. At least 1 a day... It start in University - my roommate drank nothing but Diet Coke and I drank it because it was there.

    As terrible as my addiction is 6 years later, I'm still convinced my roommate saved me from the Freshman 15 (or more) because we drank diet pop instead of crap loads of sugar.

    I will stand up and confess!

    Another addict - I don't drink milk, tea or coffee - orange juice just isn't worth the calories so other than water, I drink Diet Coke.

    I used to drink it all the time. I mean, there was ALWAYS a soda present. I quit drinking it a few months ago and after about 2 weeks, I felt SO much better! My tummy had been bloated from it and I didnt even realize it. I thought I always needed the caffeine, but once I was weaned, I found out I was okay without it.

    I too love diet coke but,only drink it as a treat...on weekends or when I go out to eat. If I had it around the house, I would always choose it instead of water.

    I love diet coke but I don't have it as often as I like, which is a good thing. Maybe 2-3 times a month. BUT it has to be fountain!

    I sometimes go through the McDonalds drive through just to order a diet coke. Their diet coke must have like crack or something in it....no one else's tastes as good!

    I am also a major diet coke addict...bad for me but oh soooo good !

    I used to drink it all the time, I got down to 2 a day and now I don't drink any! If u like the fizz or the flavor, try a carbonated flavored water, then reduce that down to water with either some crystal lite or a slice of lemon or other citrus. I do have caffine though but coffee, prob not good either but its only for breakfast and then I drink water the rest of the day. Good luck to you and hope this helps!

    I'm right there with you all, i drink one (diet coke) on the way to work, one for lunch and one when i get home. Yes it has artificial sweetener in it which isnt good for you but its 0 calories so it doesnt hurt the diet. I drink it in lieu of coffee because i cant stand the taste of hot water. I dont drink alcohol or smoke so its my only vice really. Most of our processed foods have things in it that arent good for you either so I'm not going to worry about a little diet coke. speaking of diet coke... i think i left my can out in the car....gotta go!!!!

    YES! I also go thru the McDonald's drive thru ONLY for a big DC. It's so lame. I have one sitting next to me. Ugh. And of course, as I drink it, I will dwell on this:

    Just one of the studies showing that while it doesn't necessarily make you HUNGRY, it makes you subconciously crave more food. POop.

    Interesting story: A nurse(RN) told me that she was ordered to remove all the diet cokes from a patient's room once. The patient had been diagnosed with aspartame-induced seizures. I don't know if there is such a thing as aspartame-induced seizures but found the rest of the story troubling. The patient had CASES of the stuff stashed in her room. When the staff removed them she became angry and was cursing and screaming. Sounds like an addict to me....

    However, I am not qualified to say if diet coke is really bad for you or not - I don't even drink the stuff myself. If it doesn't interfere with weight loss or health, then I wouldn't worry about it.
