I generally have one large cup of coffee in the mornings and one diet soda mid-afternoon - both for the caffeine boost. :)

The rest of the time I drink water or club soda. But I really am not going to give up my Diet Coke. I love it too much.

I actually find that hard to believe!

I was a heavy pepsi max drinker from 2001 until about 2 months ago when I went cold turkey.

In that time I was on many diets with massive weight loss in short periods of time.

Since going off the pepsi max, my metabolism seems to have slowed down! Im thinking of going back on it again!

Well, at the same time you went off the Pepsi Max, you went on diets with massive weight loss in short periods of time. *That* is surely what slowed your metabolism down.

For me...when I do not drink diet soda...I lose more weight. Different for everyone, I know...but that's how it works for me.

Yeah I use to love soda and I just gave it up. Havent had it in 2 months. I just drink water or tea. Its been helping me too. Soda sounds gross after awhile. But I guess it doesnt really matter. You have to drink something you like.

I personally don't see an issue with it as long as you don't count it as apart of your water intake.

I drink at least 2 1/2 liters of water a day, and I can also drink diet coke.
