Good work! It's not easy, but the benefits are worth it. -- nm - CQ Nov 3, 07:33
you should try drinking water -- nm - decline Nov 3, 06:42
What about regular sweeteners? -- nm - JaxSean Nov 3, 06:39
Not trying to shame ST, but ST apparently drinks more soda than anyone I know. How do you all drink so much? -- nm - MDH Nov 3, 06:20 31
- I never do, really. Used to sometimes, just don’t really care anymore. -- nm - mafic Nov 3, 07:03
- I drink so much Diet Coke, Diet A&W at Night. Horrible habit -- nm - Bacon Nov 3, 06:57

  - While I do like fitness, not sure I'm body obsessed. I ain't no twink. -- nm - MDH Nov 3, 07:03 1

- I largely gave it up years ago. - Cuzzin Todd Nov 3, 06:53
- Within a year or so of each other, I gave up alcohol and caffeine. Caffeine was waaaaaaaaaaay harder. - volnelk Nov 3, 06:34 1
  - I had to cut back my drinking to kep from smoking. - Cuzzin Todd Nov 3, 06:54
- dude, you have no idea. - groiny Nov 3, 06:25 2
  - I love water! :-) Glad it's working out for you! I really only drink soda with alcohol. Never actually had coffee. -- nm - MDH Nov 3, 06:40 1
    - see, I never did like water. I had to force myself to drink it. - groiny Nov 3, 06:42
- This is one thing I'm glad I never got addicted to. I might have a can of pop/soda per week. -- nm - Shaun Nov 3, 06:24 1
  - I wish I never had as I drank two 2 liter bottles a day for a while. But it's been nothing but water for nearly a decade now. - Krusty Nov 3, 06:35
- I hate coffee. I like flavor. Realistically, there aren't many other choices especially true 0 calorie drinks. -- nm - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Tenth Astronaut Nov 3, 06:23 17
  - this. plus I need a caffeine hit and hating coffee makes this a Diet Pepsi solution -- nm - Beaker Nov 3, 06:25 16
    - a tall flat white from starbucks. steamed milk with an espresson thrown in. -- nm - Remlik Nov 3, 06:45 1
      - *gets on his Australian high horse* Starbucks flat whites are an abomination against Steve Irwin. -- nm - mafic Nov 3, 07:14
    - Pepsi Max!! -- nm - Shaun Nov 3, 06:26 13
      - straight up chemicals! -- nm - groiny Nov 3, 06:27 12
        
        Technically everything is a chemical. But yeah, it's awful for you. -- nm - Shaun Nov 3, 06:28 11
        
        I may have told this story before, so I apologize if I did.... -- (edited) - groiny Nov 3, 06:33 1
        
        True story. If you step away from that stuff and go back it will blow your mind. - volnelk Nov 3, 06:36
        
        as judged by zero confirmed scientific studies. -- nm - Reagen Nov 3, 06:32 8
        
        Pretty sure Pepsi Max is awful for you. -- nm - Shaun Nov 3, 06:48 3
        
        See above. - Reagen Nov 3, 06:57 2
        
        It's certainly not good for you. -- nm - Shaun Nov 3, 07:16 1
        
        It's better for you than hundreds of calories worth of sugar. -- nm - Reagen Nov 3, 07:39
        
        nobody actually likes diet soda, you build up a tolerance for it - groiny Nov 3, 06:35 3
        
        I much prefer it to regular. - Reagen Nov 3, 06:36 1
        
        I can't judge, because I was like that for many years. - groiny Nov 3, 06:38
        
        It's gross. - Krusty Nov 3, 06:36
So just get Mexican Coke with real sugar. ;-) - Krusty Nov 3, 06:18
Dude, I can't tell you how much better I feel overall. - groiny Nov 3, 06:15 3
- Diet soda + Water with Kool-aid sugar free flavor is what I've been drinking - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Tenth Astronaut Nov 3, 06:20 2
  - where are you getting the Kool-Aid sugar free stuff? I can't find it anywhere and we loved it. - Pippy Pumpkin Nov 3, 06:32
  - here's the thing, and what the diet doc I am seeing is saying, - groiny Nov 3, 06:24
Good luck. The first couple of days are hard -- nm - Pippy Pumpkin Nov 3, 06:01
