Opinions on Diet Soda?

Re: Opinions on Diet Soda?

I have lost over 8 lbs in a week and have been drinking diet soda the whole time. Same went for when I'd lost weight on Atkins in the past. I find it actually helps me with cravings because it's something I enjoy that fills me up without the guilt of calories/carbs. In fact for me personally, I'd be more likely to cheat I think if I had to cut it out.

I'm not encouraging anyone to do the same, but just saying personally, it doesn't seem to affect me in a negative way.

Thank You Kittie...
FLdoodette- I drink Filtred Water, It's in my refrigerator door. It's not "tap" water, but it's not bottles water either. I am a very picky water person. (Among other things)
I do not think I will stop drinking the Diet Rite anyways. I will make sure however that I drink all the water I should in a day, and have a treat every once in a while with my "soda" which my husband calls flavored water.

Im not really a big fan of soda... but I am from the south so of course the big thing here is sweet tea... so every now and then when I get a sweet tooth craving I go for a glass of splenda sweetened tea :P

Well, I have tried now for a few days living without diet soda..they are still in the fridge but I haven't been drinking them. So far so good, although I do miss that taste. I'm going to see how long I can go without drinking one.

I have always been a soda/diet soda addict, so this may be playing with fire! We'll see where it goes...

Re: Opinions on Diet Soda?

Do you have any other suggestions on something to drink? I don't do tea or coffee.

Once in a while I'll buy the crystal lite drinks that are made with splenda. They are not bad and I will have a cup with dinner. It doesn't seem to hurt me and it is a nice change from time to time.
