Thread: diet cola

is it just me or is anyone else addicted to this stuff????? i could go through 2 - 3 little bottles of diet cola a day if i could : / i cant even drink normal cola ne more i make sure i only have 1 a day now or even none cos i was becoming a little obsessive lol ..... cant be good for the stomach !

Definitely not good to drink it in those amounts - I would really try and cut back.

Although it technically is free, I'd cut back on it and replace some of it with NAS squash or water.

My name is Lady A, and I am a diet-coke-aholic!

I had the same problem - I allow myself One Small bottle per day.

You cant give it up cold turkey but try and cut back its hard at first but Im doing better now!

lady its bad isnt it??? lol and the other ppl who posted i have cut back it says at the bottom of my post : )

I am addicted to fizzy. Diet coke, coke zero, anything zero.

I try and limit myself to 2 cans a day, one when the trolley comes round in the afternoon at work and then one at night time at about 8.

There was mention that fizzy drinks slowed down your weight loss but it hasn't affected me.

I can totally relate to this! At first I was using it to replace any sweet-stuff cravings I had, but now I try to use it as a treat or pick-me-up and only have one, maybe two a day!

i am the same i could drink loads so i now try to only drink one glass at night or i try not to have any all week and wait till the weekend.

I have a £3 a day diet coke habit.

I can have 6 cans a day on a bad day. I switched to Caffeine Free about 4 years ago and that still did nothing.
When I first started SW I cut down to 2 a day and I can manage without it but it's a struggle. Now if I have a can, I try and balance it out with 500ml of water. Have no idea how this would cancel anything out but it makes me feel better!

We can all be addicts together

I used to drink up to 4 litres of diet coke a day. I wasnt loosing weight and the dr ha to run tests. I was told to stop drinking it and did successfully for 6 years. At the beginning when I stopped I had headaches, mood swings and shakes!! I now drink 2 cans a day (and sometimes not even that) and would rather have water.

I will happily stand up and say:
My name is Stacey and I am addicted to diet fizzy drinks.

I don't want to break the addiction though, because I don't drink tea or coffee I need my little caffeine boost in the afternoon. Plus it fills me up and stops me eating chocolate............. sometimes.

Im an addict too. All duet fizzy pop. I've never realy drunk regular coke except when hungover

My problem now. 1 can bloats me up to uncomfortable proportions. Especially my former favourite coke zero. So I have to pour it into a pint glass and let it go flat.

I have about 2 cans a week now!!!

I'm a recovering fizzaholic..

I love the stuff, I've strated on the pepsi Max. A fridge pack of 8 is only £2 at asda at the mo! But i have one to take to work with me during the week, and share a can with my sister at Dinner in the evening. I try not to have them at a weekend unless i'm going out and my tipple vodka is mixed with a diet coke! Thankfully i do drink a lot of water too. x

Well done for cutting down! One of the problems with diet coke (and similar) is it's not good for the teeth. My dentist gave my sister a real telling off for drinking too much of it. We both try and limit ourselves to one can a day now - sob sob because we love it!
