Diet Drinks?

[DisneyPhD]

Hi there. I was wondering if anyone can help. My down fall is pop (soda, coke, depending on where you are from.) Mostly Coke. I must have one each day.

I know I am taking in a major amount of caloires this way and it isn't good for my teeth.

I am trying to drink more water, but I can only do so much of that.

Any advice on some good diet drinks that taste good?

I have found 7 up plus is really good. I also get Diet hansens from Costco.

Any other suggestions?

I don't like diet coke, but the with lime stuff isn't as bad. I perfer Splenda over Nurtrasweet.

What have you found that is good.

I'd stick with the one regular Coke per day.

I hate diet drinks. Too many fake sugars out there. JMO.

Diet Rite (Made by RC) is pretty good and it uses Splenda!

If you like Root Beer or Cream soda, those are a good break-in to the Diet taste! Even the store brands are good, I think.

Thanks, maybe I will try it. The rasberry looks good, what is your favorite?

I need a cola alternitive. Is their cola good?

Diet A&W...when it's cold I swear it tastes like the real thing

I love the Cola. The white grape and tangerine are good too. I haven't tried the others yet.

I drink caffeine free diet coke. No I didn't like the taste at first, but after I'd had a case, 24 cans, the regular stuff tasted funny. You just need to re-educate your taste buds.

My favourite diet drinks are Dr. Pepper and 7-Up. I don't care for diet Coke either.

My favorite soda is Cherry Coke, but I don't drink soda at home and only occasionally when we go out. I saw diet cherry coke the other day, so I thought I'd try it. It was very good. It wasn't as sweet as the regular. But, I hadn't had real soda in so long that the diet cherry was actually quite good, since I wasn't used to all the sugar. I also really like diet Dr. Pepper and the new 7-up stuff.

I practically live on caffiene-free diet dr pepper and caffiene-free diet pepsi. I used to be addicted to diet coke but when I switched to caffiene-free, the taste wasn't the same. I agree that once you adjust to the diet stuff, the regular tastes horrible. Last month I was craving a real coke for some reason but when I got one - OMG! - it was like trying to drink syrup! You might try the new colas from pepsi and coke. I forget the names but basically they are half sugar and half splenda so half the calories.

I really like Coke C2. I hate any type of Diet drinks as well, but C2 is a combination. I don't like the Pepsi version though.
Another good diet drink is the new Minute Maid Lite fruit drinks. The Mango one is great! They have Guava citrus and Raspberry which are very good too!
Enjoy!

diet cherry coke & diet dr. pepper

I hated diet coke at first but now I can't stand regular - just give it a try for a week!

I don't care for Diet Coke either but I love Diet Pepsi. But I had to get used to it because I craved the sugar.

Soda is my downfall too. I have been trying to drink more water and I found a drink called Sparkling Ice. It is sparkling water with juice and I found it at Costco. It comes in Pink Grapefruit, Orange Mango and Black Raspberry. It is sweetened with Spenda.

I have also found at WalMart the individual serving packets that you put in bottled water. It is their brand of Crystal Light. I love their iced tea with peach.

I am addicted to Diet Coke. I drink too much 4-5 cans a day.

Diet RC is pretty good too.

Diet Rite Soda is made with Splenda, and so is Diet Hansen's Soda... both are very good. Of all the "regular" diet soda's, Diet Dr. Pepper tastes the most like the non diet form. They also have a new drink.. Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper. It's pretty good!

 

[Samirella]

Sprite Zero. Tastes just like regular Sprite. I used to drink three to four cans of soda a day. I stopped drinking it totally and now I only have one occasionally. I lost twelve pounds and six percent body fat. That was really the only thing I needed to change in my diet.

Hi, haven't read everyone else's replies.

When I drank diet, the preferred ones were Fresca, Diet Dr. Pepper, Diet A&W Cream and Diet Pepsi (with a squirt of lemon juice). Unfortunately, can't have diet sodas with Nutrasweet.

I now drink the veryfine Fruit2o's. They're sweetened with Splenda, and it's not as bland as water. Half the time, I mix equal parts water with the Fruit20's. If I can't get them, I get the Propel water, but that's usually watered down a lot.

Good luck getting away from the sodas. I can attribute 25 pounds to weight gained when I found out that I'm allergic to Nutrasweet.

My small town grocer in Maryland nicknamed me "fresca", because I drank so much of it. I don't think he ever would have learned my real name if I didn't order take out from them!
