Diet Soda

[ladybug]

do you drink it? how often?

[TheDeliverator]

Not much. When I drink soda, I want soda. Diet stuff is for sissies.

[Jen]

sometimes but not often.

if you're asking is it ok? in moderation. be sure to meet your daily water intake. amd remember that it is made with a bunch of artificial sweetners, preservatives and the carbonation in not good for our bones in high consumption

[Erik]

Daily

[jdcii]

Diet Coke for me, diet is the only thing I'll drink when it comes to pop.

[Lingerie Lady]

Used to drink 4 - 6 cans daily. Almost two years ago I quit and have had one can in that two years. As much as I enjoyed drinking it, I thought it was kind of silly to be just drinking chemicals, because that's basically what diet pop is. Now I have lots of coffee and water.

[JJ29]

I drink too much....usually 1-2 20 oz and 2-4 cans a day. That is in addition to my 5 L water, couple cups of coffee and numerous cups of herbal tea!!!

[dolce]

i have to get 5 liters of water in and i have 2 cups of coffee a day so sometimes have no room left for diet coke

[Patricia]

Daily.
Trying to cut down though since I rather have lots of splenda in my coffee.

5 liters??? shit id be so sick of drinking that much a day!!

[Patricia]

I drink this per day easy. Plus several cups of coffee, green tea, and maybe a diet soda or 2.

[Mols]

seriously? What do you do? Just have a liter bottle in your hand all day long? I couldnt find the time to slug that much down with work and school!

[jackieleigh]

I usually have a 20oz bottle like 3-4x a week, plus my 5L of water, (and a pot of coffee :dry: )

Back in 2004, I was this same way. I would drink anywhere from 4 to 8 cans of Coke a day... That's one of the reasons why I was a fat boy! Now that I've freed myself from pop and so now, I never drink the stuff. I won't run the risk. I'm afraid that if I start drinking pop again that old habits will come back... And so I'd rather do without!

Race ya to the bathroom... On your - And he's gone... :cardio: :lol3:

[Neely]

I crave a soda about once a week. Sometimes more, sometimes less. I go through phases with it. Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr Pepper :yum: Even though it has aspartame, I gotta have it every once in a while.

Most times it's just the bubbly I crave. So I'll opt out of a soda for some sparkling water a lot of the time.

[ChrystalR]

I guess the question is - what is TOO much?? Is it going to throw off your contest diet stuff or is it ok??

[dolce]

5 liters??? shit id be so sick of drinking that much a day!!

my coach says i have to drink 5 liters, so i do.:shades:
i try to make it where i have 2 liters by noon, have 2 more before 5 when i head to gym, and that way i dont have to drink so much in the evening
you can only imagine how many times i go to the bathroom!

[Patricia]

Beat ya--I live in there :oops:

[SarahM]

Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr Pepper :yum:Ohhh that stuff is so fine. As is Coke Zero.

For me it's a few times a week; I figure there are many 'worse' things I could have in my mouth than a diet soda :hehe:

[abbatoir]

The caffeine in diet soda gives me headaches, so I'm not hungry afterwards, but it's not worth it lol

[fistsoflove]

Canada Dry makes seltzer waters in great flavors: raspberry, mandarin orange, lemon-lime, and cherry. Cherry tastes a bit like cough drops, but the other flavors are GREAT. I usually think of seltzer as a really crappy stand-in for diet soda, but these are actually good enough to make the switch easy. I drink way too much diet soda and whenever I cut it out of my diet, I find that my cravings for sugar and fatty things abate.

I've never seen these before but they sound GOOD. Where did you find them? I was just at Superstore the other day but they only had Canada Dry gingerale and raspberry gingerale.

[fistsoflove]

I live in Brooklyn. I've only seen these at random cornerstores in New York, but I'm sure they carry them elsewhere. Also, I've only seen orange and lemon lime in 2L bottles- the cherry and raspberry I've only seen in 1L and 20 oz. size.

Schweppes makes lemon lime, too, so look for that! Also, some stores keep seltzers a bit separate from sodas, so maybe look for it off to the side- like with tonic water and other mixers. Just a thought- but let me know if you find them! I'm sure they're around. Raspberry is sooooo good. I'm chugging an orange 2L right now!

[Aaron_F]

I gave up drinking water because I discovered it was full of horrible chemicals. Its disgusting, and full of dihydrogen monoxide

[KatieB]

do you drink it? how often?

Yes.

Every day.

Thanks. I will definitely look out for this, it sounds good!

[Ali]

I do when we go out to eat. Once in a great while around the house. Less than once a week for sure.

[Ananda]

I occasionally drink the Diet Rite Raspberry or Diet Crush Grape flavor. It has Splenda in it instead of aspertame, I know still a chemical but it doesn't make my stomach upset.

[abercrombie3f]

I try to avoid it because i figured it wasn't too healthy...how many do you guys drink a day??

[Inatic]

0-1 a day.

OT: Fits of love, where in bklyn. I grew up there.

[Erik]

One, sometimes two, per day.

[Audrey]

None - I can't stand soda, diet or not.

[Blondell]

I can go through a 12 pack :oops:

[Patricia]

x2!

[Lindsey]

:yeahthat:

I can't remember the last time I had pop? I don't like any carbonated drinks.:yucky:

[Ana]

I drink it if I go out to eat. Water for me

[kelster]

:ditto: :yeahthat:

I used to not care for soda... til SO and I discovered those Crush (sweetened with Splenda) multi-packs. Orange, grape, cream soda (the best IMO) and rootbeer all in one big 24 pack. They don't even really taste 'diet' to me.

I had a Diet Orange Crush today.

I've never seen those multi-packs though. I need to look for that.

I'm really enjoying the Sodaclub machine here. Making sparkling water out of regular (very good tasting) tap water is already a joy. Would you know that you can make your omelettes fluffier by adding sparkling water?

When I want a flavour, I mostly reach for low-carb cordial syrup. It still contains sugar, but only about half of the normal syrups. Used to drink the sugar-free ones but choice is very limited here and flavour is awful in comparison. Full-strength grapefruit syrup is also very nice to add to sparkling water in minute quantities.

I have only seen it in the Crush multi-packs-- as far as I can remember, Superstore (I think it's Loblaws in Ontario) is the only place that seems to carry them.

[abercrombie3f]

i tried the new diet pepsi carmel cream yesterday...different but good
