Its been years since Ive had a pop and Im not missing anything. Kudos to you for giving up the carbonated syrup.

dreamfactory31 3	Diet pop is only better for you in the way that it doesnt have any/or as many calories but it still is NOT healthy for you!! Drink water, iced tea with honey, or 100% fruit juice instead. LEAVE ALL POP ALONE!

i changed to diet coke about a year ago... seriously, i probably drink about a 6 pack a day (or more redface

), so that cuts out about 840 or more calories a day .... and yes, there has been a change in my weight nod

dang, now that's a lot of soda. eek

normally, i just have one or two cans of diet soda a day. lately i've been swilling the stuff, though - it's been so hot, i've been drinking 3 or 4 cans, PLUS i've been drinking water like it's going out of style. when it gets really hot in the summer, i'll empty out a refrigerator of everything liquid in it, carbonated or no.

Lately, I've been on the bottled water kick and it's quite liberating. You should try the different flavored water b/c when chilled it fills you up fast. This is how I have been able to maintain my ideal weight.

interesting. i'm trying to get back on my yerba mate kick - it's great because it gives me energy without giving me the caffeine jitters, it's full of vitamins, and it's an appetite suppressant as well. when i drink this stuff regularly, the weight goes way down. nod

I was sure it also contained caffeine my Argentinian husband drinks it, we have a 2kg bag in the cupboard.

Soda? Gives me the runs if I have a glass with dinner. Surefire weightLOSS for me confused

it has mateine, which gives much the same kick as caffeine, but it doesn't make you jittery then make you crash. i've heard some people say yerba mate has caffeine, and others who say it doesn't. maybe some companies caffeinate their yerba mate teas? i dunno. doesn't need it.

it can be hard 2 cut back/quit drinking soda because its everywhere...its very convenient...quick and easy...and it is pretty good

i gave up soda 4 lent this year...that was soooo hard because thats all there is (besides water) at the house 2 drink..but as soon as lent was over i went back 2 having a can or 2 (maybe a little more) each day

a few months ago i decided 2 cut back on my soda and drink more water...now im down 2 about a soda a week...and up 2 about 6-8 bottles of water a day...but i have yet 2 notice any difference in my energy or weight...not that thats what i was going 4 shrug
