    If I can have carbonated flavored water I don't miss diet coke.

    I am a diet coke addict - you are not alone. I am trying to cut back but find that's harder to resist than anything else.

    I used to love diet coke, now I love seltzer but I just recently read that any carbonated beverage (through the process of carbonation) binds with much needed calcium. As a peri-menopausal woman, this is a huge concern for me and why I started using weights in my excercise routine.

    Some ideas that have worked well for me...

    If you need flavor...try any of the fuity Celestial seasoning teas.
    My personal favorites are Raspberry Zinger, Lemon Zinger, and Tropical Fruit Cool Brew Iced tea.


    If you need sweet try stevia or xylitol.


    Below is a link for an article if you are not familiar with xylitol:
