    i havent had ANY soda except the seldom can of sprite zero for 5 years. On the few times i have tried to drink a cola, it made me feel ill. I got a headache and stomache ache from it. to me that shows how bad those things are for you, but that we force our bodies to get used to it. yuck.
    try propel zero..it tastes great and no sugar or calories.

    This the only vice I'm keeping! But in moderation. 2-3 cans a day.

    so,,,,as many as 21 cans a week. Interesting interpretation of moderation.:wink:

    I drink 2-3 cans a day. AND I drink 5-6 bottles of water a day. The can is 12 fl oz and the bottle is 16.9 fl oz. Therefore, 252 fl oz of diet cola a week in comparison to 709.8 fl oz of water.

    Yeah, I would call that moderation.

    I was really addicted to diet coke and after about two months on MFP I decided to take healthy eating a step further and gave it up. And to my surprise, I did discover that my cravings for all other types of food diminished. I think it was good to stop drinking it, but I am not so strict about it, I still have one in a blue moon when I go out.
    I also don't crave diet coke anymore, that means I have more money to spend on other things LOL

    drinking 21 cans of diet coke a week is not moderation. It doesnt make it moderate because you also drink a lot of water. thats kind of strange logic. bu whatever...if you want to drink it , then drink it. but why fool yourself that 21 cans a week is moderate?

    Moderation is not a concrete standard. It is subject to interpretation. What you interpret as moderate someone else might not.

    Oh please.

    Driving is linked to car accidents. Injury is linked to exercising and playing sports. There's a difference in actual correlation and causation.

    I drink diet coke every morning. Prob about 16 oz. It doesn't cause me to have sugar cravings nor has it caused me to gain weight. In fact I have lost 131 lbs. I used to drink it through the day but I have cut myself down to only in the morning. I did it for sleep reasons though. I ALSO drink 175-200 oz of water a day.

    maybe mineral water? like perrier? these are just my guesses, personally that stuff tastes really nasty to me, but a lot of people love it.

    Diet coke is a no no for me... I gave up drinking it entirely and switched to fizzy water and then last week i had cravings so gave in and had about 2 litres in 3 days... my diet nosedived and wanted to eat sweet things all the time... back on the fizzy water and the weight is coming off again AND i don't feel the need to steal candy from kids anymore!
    Here I tought I was the only one who stole candy from my kids. I'm sure they must not miss it but, dang, sometimes It makes me feel so guilty bc I shouldn't eat it....and neither should they!

    My Wife and I was taking in about a 12 pack of diet coke in about 2 days time. And that isn't even counting the diet soda that I was drinking at work. One Day, when we went grocery shopping, we didn't buy any soda. Instead, we bought a 2 gallon jug and started brewing tea for our caffeine fix. And we stuck with it. Now, every now and then we will pick up a diet soda when we are out and about running errands, but we never bring any home with us.
    Was it painful - Yes... but with the Tea, we were able to get our caffeine fix without spending more money on diet sodas. Now, we even stopped brewing the tea and have been doing water... for our caffeine fix - we started using the energy shots from Mio and even Great Value (Walmart brand) which have worked wonders for us.

    Hope this helps

    How do you count your water drank?

    Can I count my water that I add a Crystal light lemonaide drink stick to?
    Can I count the water that makes up my shake?
    What about the water in my Caffiene free Coffee?
