Re: Diet Soda

You are allowed 3 servings of sweetener (from the list of allowed sweeteners) per day. One 'serving' of a sweetened drink is usually said to be 98 fluid ounces, so one 12 ounce can would equal 1.5 of your daily 3.

You need to check the ingredients to see what sweetener was used to decide if the drink would be 'legal'.

Diet Rite is made with splenda. It is DELICIOUS!!!! I allow myself one cup a day.

Seems to be working for me.

Re: Diet Soda

I haven't had a fresca in years. I don't really know what's in there. Sorry.

Fresca has Aspartame and Acesulfame which are no no's (well, at least aspartame is, not to sure about acesulfame)

Don't know about that acesulfam either. But it sure doesn't sound like it would be good for ya.
