Sodas???

[littleflex]

Just wondering how many of you diet freaks slip and drink a coke or sprite every once in a while???

 

[Stryc-9]

The last time I had soda was in a rye and coke that my boss forced on me at a cheesy staff party last year.....otherwise I don't have too much trouble steering clear of the stuff.....but I didn't want to lose my job so I drank the damn poison....

I'd rather have a glass of ice tea over soda.

Caffeine addiction is an occupational hazard, Diet Coke is my delivery vehicle of choice but I'm trying to make the switch to green tea.

 

[diamonddiceclay]

I ONLY drink water

Nah. After you get accustomed to diet, the regular stuff tastes too sweet. Plus they're pure sugar; one of the worst things you can take in on a diet.

 

[NateDogg]

Diet Coke, or the new Diet Coke lemon stuff (pretty good IMHO) if ever. Mostly just water though. Went on a 100 mile bike ride and bonked at about 75 miles last year. That was the last time I had a regular soda REALLY NEEDED THE SUGAR!!

[JustinM]

diet coke has aspratame, and its a carcenogenic (sp?), once it gets heated to 101 degrees in your body it becomes a poison..just wanted to let you know..

and 1 can of regular soda has 16 teaspoons of sugar..

id stick to water

peace

[Mike P.T.]

[My End Over Mad her]

i werk at an italian restaurant so they got soda and stuff on tap, so what i do is grab my cup fill it up with one sip of lemonade and drink it kill my sugar hunger and then drink just water. I feel that once you stop drinkin sugary drinks all u need is a sip once in awhile to put yourself in check again.

I normally just drink diet sodas to tell you the truth. I dont want to waste the calories on a damn drink!

uh.. the whole point of diet coke is to eliminate the sugar.. that fucking shit they substitute is pure shit, not sugar, it wont give u energy, u shouldn't depend on coke for energy anyways. Like justinM said, its basically posion

 

[JustinM]

whenever they substitute sugar it is aspratame..

peace

I had a regular Coke, NOT DIET, because I was in the middle of nowhere (yes, there was actually a random Coke machine on a farm we rode by) it would not have been my first choice by any stretch, but it was my only and I needed some sort of nurishment.

While I agree water is the best fluid to drink for the body, I highly disagree with your statement on aspartame being a carcinogen. I would be interested in reading any scientific study showing/proving this. Likewise, the toxicity claims that are being referred to by the aspartame "heated to 101 degrees in your body it becomes a poison..." are due to the methanol creation. Methanol is a byproduct no matter how aspartame is degradated. There is more of this byproduct in most fruits (ie apples) than HIGH amounts of aspartame.

Force yourself to down two 24-packs of Diet Coke over a couple weeks or so... I swear you'll get to love the stuff... you'll never turn back to regular (sugary) soft drinks again.

 

[Elite_Fry]

how many grams is in 16 teaspoons of sugar

sometimes i just need something other than food or water, just sometype of flavour..so i have a diet pepsi or coke. keeps me sane
