As much as I love diet soda - I have cut almost all of it out of my diet. I might have 3 a week.

which is a marked difference from a 2 liter bottle+ a day.

Now I drink water/crystal light almost exclusively.

So what about soda will kill me? The carbonation? The artificial sweetner? - Amy Nov 6, 11:12 2
- I don't know that anything in diet soda will be killing you. I just thought it was a healthier choice for *me*. - kelly Nov 6, 11:21
- Aren't you a belly dancer? You should quit worrying -- nm - oblique Nov 6, 11:14
I alternate between Crystal Light and Diet (Kroger) cola. Can you tell me why the former is healthier than the latter? - Dr.Vermin Nov 6, 11:10 4
- carbonation. - kelly Nov 6, 11:12 3
  - the gas itself or the sugars in the drink? Is seltzer ok? Sorry, I'm confused. -- nm - lileve Nov 6, 11:17
  - Hmph. Now I must research. I was planning on buying/installing a home carbonation system for the wife this Xmas! - Dr.Vermin Nov 6, 11:13 1
    - Dr. Weil says it's ok--just take a calcium sup. if your bevs are caffeinated -- (link) - Amy Nov 6, 11:19
I'm trying to quit soda completely but it's hard when work has my fav on tap. -- nm - lileve Nov 6, 11:02 2
- I thought it would be really hard but I was surprised how easy it was - Guigue Nov 6, 11:04 1
  - We never have soda at home and at my last job soda was banned. Worked well for me. Here it's endless and free. Big problem. -- nm - lileve Nov 6, 11:06
That's great. I'm down to about 4 carbonated sugar drinks a day. -- nm - CQ with a gravy boat Nov 6, 11:02
its like we dont even know you anymore. - tRuMaN Nov 6, 11:01 1
- This has been difficult for me - I love diet soda oh so very much. - kelly Nov 6, 11:10
I wish I could do that, but I don't have the will power for that. - Jim Nov 6, 11:01 7
- Yes, one vice at a time makes it a bit easier. -- nm - lileve Nov 6, 11:03
- I found the switch from leaded to Cherry Coke Zero to be seamless and I lost like 15 pounds doing it -- nm - oblique Nov 6, 11:02 5
  - I went from Pibb Xtra to Pibb Zero with no problems and dropped a bunch of weight too. I'd like to cut it all out... - Jim Nov 6, 11:07 4
    - Yeah, I don't see anything wrong with drinking the Zero drinks. It's not like it has anything in it - oblique Nov 6, 11:10 3
      - Until we find out that Splenda causes us to grow a 3rd nipple or something. -- nm - Jim Nov 6, 11:12 2
        
        Is there a problem with that? -- nm - oblique Nov 6, 11:12 1
        
        if it's on your ass. -- nm - lileve Nov 6, 11:14
I started drinking it again lately and need to knock of off. - callisto Nov 6, 11:01 6
- me too (i am drinking a 591ml diet coke right now. i'm back up to a couple a week and i don't like it.) -- nm - Andie Nov 6, 11:14 3
  - Can someone get me a calculator or something...what the hell is 591 mls? :) -- nm - Jim Nov 6, 11:16 1
    - the small bottle - one size up from a can. :) -- nm - Andie Nov 6, 11:20
  - That is a very precise post. Thank you. -- nm - oblique Nov 6, 11:16
- I drink less than two sodas per month. I think that kind of moderation is fine. much more than that and I'd make myself quit 100%. -- nm - pilgrims and indians love mandy lane Nov 6, 11:03 1
  - I have maybe 1 a week, so when I do have one I have a "real" one. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Nov 6, 11:05
