Giving Up Diet Soda....
This morning on the news there was yet another story on a study highlighting the negative consequences of drinking diet pop. So, after googling it I decided I am going to give it up for good. Seriously, it was easier for me to quit smoking than it has been to stop the diet pop habit.
I'm also a huge caffeine addict, so I am going to try to replace the pop with coffee....bummer.....

It's really not that good for you. I have reduced my diet soda habit, but there is no way I could give it up. I guess you can't win them all

I gave them up as well. I didn't even crave them a bit! I will allow myself a Sunkist every now and then. I can't abandon my Sunkist, and it's better to drink a regular one vs. a diet one (I log it in my WW). But I have a rule that I drink a glass of water before so I just don't greedily guzzle it down and want more.

I don't buy its as bad as all that BUT..
Do your own if you like sparkly. Take club soda and add thing too it. A splash of cream, a crystal lite package... Club soda is just carbonated water no added chemicals. You can even get low sodium as it seems some have salt in it.

I believe that Crystal Light has artificial sweeteners, which is a big part of the issue with the diet pop.

There is also flavored sparkling water without any chemicals added in. There is La Croix and Kroger has a store brand in bottles I believe. I'm actually a huge sparkling water fan, I really drink diet pop as a vehicle for caffeine consumption, as I'm not a huge coffee or tea fan.
