diet coke

I saw it at Target. Was tempting for me but I am challenging myself to remain caffine free. :yikes

I finally found one last night. I thought it was pretty good. Better than the old diet coke to me.. and imo better tasting than diet rite. I am not really a big soda drinker, so I wouldn't have it daily, but it was pretty good for an occasional thing for me.

I think drinking stuff with caffine in it if you are on extended induction is an individual choice. I am doing a very strict induction because I have so much weight to lose, I want to see at least 2 pounds gone every week. I know if I stay away from the diet soda & frankenfoods, I can do it. My husband on the other hand, has about 40 pounds to lose and he is happy to lose 1/2 pound a week. So he still drinks diet cokes, he eats Atkins bars. I'm interested to see how it will play out in the long run. I plan to go through all the phases of Atkins and slowly add carbs back in and really monitor what happens to me, it's kinda like a new hobby for me, I read these bulletin boards, low carb magazines, and of course, all of Dr. Atkins books every day. My husband told me he just wants me to "tell him what to eat" My goal is to not only lose the weight but to also maintain the weight loss for the rest of my life. I am learning things about myself and the way I eat every day. I don't know if he is. Anyway, I guess what I am trying to say is that we are all on this journey together, we learn from each other and it's fun to hear what everyone is doing. I like to hear from the diet coke & caffine people too!

I tried one and found it to be sickeningly sweet. I don't understand why they would make it so much sweeter than regular Coke. I will stick with my Diet Rite Cola with Splenda.

I have tried it twice. My husband saw it when we were traveling and thought I'd like it. I thought it was rather sweet. It left a flavor like regular Coke to me. I have drank diet coke since high school, and won't drink regular Coke. Actually, my husband stopped for something to drink today and picked one up for me. I drank about 1/3 of it and then threw it away. It was much too sweet. I'll stick with water over this (and I normally love Diet Coke). I would have told my husband not to bother getting me one if I realized he was going to buy me something to drink.
