Diet pop?

Just wondering if any of you guys drink diet pop (diet rite to be more specific,) while you are maintaining???

I don't drink many 'cokes', but I do periodically get a 2 liter of Diet A & W or Diet Rite. I wish they had Diet Cheerwine in something besides cans here though, as it has Splenda in it too. During the week, I'm either drinking hot tea or water with lemon juice. On the weekends (or if nothing else is available) I'll sometimes grab a diet soft drink of some kind. My DH loves the Sam's Choice carbonated flavored waters, and he's not lc in the least--no need, he has one of THOSE metabolisms!

I haven't noticed any problems with occasional cokes, but I wouldn't drink them as a staple.

I have a can a day, sometimes 2. But I don't like Diet-Rite, I find it dull and flat.

My usuals are PepsiONE (best Cola), Diet Pepsi, Diet Sunkist Orange, Diet A&W (and Mug) Root Beer and the clear ones like Diet 7-Up, diet Sprite, Sprite Zero!

A WONDERFUL find by Cott Beverages: FRUIT REFRESHERS...Cranberry, yumm...rarely on sale though and pricier than the others.

Lots of the diet powder stuff. (Crystal Light and it's generics in all their flavors.)

I like Diet Vanilla Coke but try to have one once a week (when I'm REALLY good).

If I drink too much pop, I don't get as much water in and water really helps me a lot.

I also switched to Green Tea instead of coffee in the am.

I drink about 2 Dietrite's a day. Love the stuff.

BUT I also try to get all my water in FIRST.

I drink one Diet Coke a day. Sometimes I'll drink a Diet Dr. Pepper which is so good. I hear they now have a Diet Vanilla Dr. Pepper. Can't wait to try that!
