S/O What is your favorite diet soda?

MsWoods · 11-03-2009, 10:34 AM

For those of you that have no problem drinking diet soda, what is your diet soda of choice?

My favorite is diet A&W Rootbeer. Even before Lc'ing I preferred the diet over regular, regular is too sweet. I had one last night for the first time in months and it was awesome.

texastigerlily · 11-03-2009, 10:36 AM

I lost my resolve and had a diet A&W...oh well...at least it's 0 calories / 0 carbs.

jo2621 · 11-03-2009, 10:37 AM

IF I have it, a real treat for me is a Coke Zero out of the fountain w/ lots of crushed ice.

Funny, I only like diet dr. pepper out of the fountain

pocahontas · 11-03-2009, 10:39 AM

I probably have one diet soda per week at most. Its usually a Hansen's. I love the grapefruit or pomegranate.

I agree! That's good too...you said favorite.

RobMan · 11-03-2009, 10:43 AM

Has to be Diet Mt Dew. In fact, in several of my other post I make referrence to the addiction to them. One of the harder things I had to do LCing was to give up the quanity that I used to drink. Now treat myself with on with my dinner meal and sometimes a sip before I go out the door in the morning. Otherwise, has to be water.

Apey · 11-03-2009, 10:43 AM

Coke Vanilla Zero

Sanandlou · 11-03-2009, 10:45 AM

I absolutely adore Diet Lipton Green Tea.

My favorite soda is diet cherry 7up!

Dreams · 11-03-2009, 10:50 AM

Pennsylvania Dutch Diet Birch Beer

InspiredBlue · 11-03-2009, 10:54 AM

Diet Coke.

Last time I had been keeping VLC for a long time, I had some Sprite Zero as a sweet treat. It tasted sooo sweet when my taste-buds were completely weaned off any sweet tastes.

I also loved Cherry Zero Coke when I had it in the US, but it isn't available here. Otherwise I'd probably have that all the time.

CGVT · 11-03-2009, 10:54 AM

Diet A+w with a couple of tablespoons of Half and Half. It tastes just like a root beer float...

Magicsmom · 11-03-2009, 10:58 AM

I just want to throw in a bit of a PSA about soda. Check the ingredients on yours, and if it contains phosphoric acid, switch to a brand that doesn't. Phosphoric acid robs your body of calcium, and that can lead to osteoporosis. PSA over.

yvonne326 · 11-03-2009, 10:59 AM

I love FRESCA PEACH OMG
My 2nd favorite is Cherry Coke.

I don't drink diet soda.

Seltzer with lemon is my favorite and quite refreshing. Feels good in my stomach too.

Just trying to spare people from the diagnosis I just got. I have osteoporosis in my hips, and I'd have done anything to avoid it. Osteoporosis of the hips is a main cause of hip fractures, which is a major contributor to death in the elderly. Nothing to trifle with.

Oh I'm so sorry, I was just kidding with you. Hope everything works out

I appreciate you sharing this information ...are there any sodas that DON'T have phosphoric acid?

flatferenghi · 11-03-2009, 11:18 AM

making a concerted effort to cut back on carbonated (it causes or aggravates digestive indiscretions), but I do get diet chocolate soda. i use Waist Watchers or Faygo. I keep a big 2 liter bottle of water by my bedside (tapwater). i bought crystal lite, but I haven't used it yet. i love coke zero & any diet root beer though. i MUST have diet chocolate in the house though.

count that as 2!

Try to work on making them infrequent. It does disrupt the very fine calcium/phosphorus balance.

Heck, I even monitor my dog's c/p ratios!

Yes, but I don't know if it matters. Fawn, can you answer this question? I have found sodas without it, but don't know if the other acids they put in its place can have the same effect.

chasemama23 · 11-03-2009, 11:46 AM

There is a brand available where I am called waist watchers. They have all kinds of different flavors including the old standby's and they are made with splenda instead of aspartame. I think they almost taste like the real thing!

crobyninc · 11-03-2009, 12:17 PM

I have 1 diet coke a day! But I love La Croix Berry sparkling water! And yes Coke Zero from the fountain is a treat!

Kaimi2008 · 11-03-2009, 12:25 PM

diet coke w/ splenda. it's not sold in my area so i've resorted to diet dew and coca cola light italian version.

SugarFreeSheila · 11-03-2009, 12:27 PM

TaB is the only diet cola I like, and the Rt. 44 diet Limeades from Sonic are great - but I haven't kept sodas in the house in years, and usually order iced tea when dining out.

I second this! I drink one a day. I gave up the diet pop, the Lipton Diet Green Tea is my new addiction. But when I was drinking pop my favorite is Diet Cherry Pepsi. I still have one once in a blue moon.

ready to live life · 11-03-2009, 12:52 PM

diet Sierra Mist Cranberry Splash!!!! Soooo good...kind of reminds me of a shirley temple and doesn't have that diet taste. Don't usually like diet soda, would rather drink water, but this one is good. Also Diet Rite tangerine and black cherry.
