I was in a similar position OP; wanted to cut my sugar with pop/juice, and didnt want to go to diet pop. So now I just drink water with crystal light in it.

Doesn't completely kill the purpose. But it definitely helped.

Good luck.

Not all diet soda has caffeine.

Try sweetening some water with stevia. It's much sweeter than sugar so you only need a tiny bit. Also you'll be okay if you only have 1 Diet Coke a day. It starts becoming iffy in large quantities only I beleive.

I must say i enjoy Diet Coke myself, there isnt anything wrong with a tin now and again, but with that many it cant be good, try to consume much more water and fruit juices and then you can reward yourself with 1-2 diet coke on that day, just gradually try to reduce it over time dont try and cut it all out at once.

[rolandszi]

orange juice

[ThousandEyes]

I like seltzer water, no aspartame because I use a lot of sweetener already.

Has a bit of a sour taste at first but you adjust and start to like it, plus it's still carbonated.

[crp113]

vitamin water, cant go wrong

It takes much more than that daily to have aspartame become a carcinogen.

[Saintzfan]

Fuze low calorie. It's fantastic. 15 cals and a ton of vitamins, it's going to make you forget everything about Coke.

[JLay87]

Get used to water and green tea. You'll get used to it.

^this.

Nothing necessarily. Carbonated beverages tend to increase water retention, though. Plus they make you fart.

If there is even a chance that it is carcinogenic why risk it? some of you guys in this section are 100% IIFYM and throw health out the window. Inb4 **** storm.

It's a phenylketonuric. It's a man made isolated amino acid. If you're sensitive to it don't drink it, otherwise the effects are negligible.

Most medical journals don't advise taking in amino acids with less than 8 chains. However like I stated, if you aren't sensitive then it is largely irrelevant.

It's like taking in insulin shots because you are afraid you might get diabetes one day. Or cutting out gluten because it will harm you. Think of all the crap they put in 'gluten free' foods to make them taste as yummy. You are prolly better off regardless with the gluten IMO.

How about Diet Pepsi? Haha

Basically everything stated on here besides tea and water are loaded with sucralose anyway. So from one man made thing to another. I'm gonna quit smoking and start chewing tobacco instead. It's healthier. what the EFF? Haha ok I'm done

[JakeyC]

Try and drink water, quenches your thirst more than diet coke. Still drink the occassional glass though, that wont hurt.

[Shadowknight137]

I would say coffee, but you don't want caffeine, and I can't in good conciousness recommend Decaf.

So water. Maybe with a lemon in it. Or something like that.

Why ask a woman out when there's a chance she might say no? Why risk it? Extreme difference that I just mentioned. Sorry about that. But really, seemingly everything has been purported to have some kind of negative effect at a certain amount (What dosage? At what time? How so?).

The chance that Diet Coke might be carcinogenic is a non-concern for me, and I recommend the same non-concern mentality for you and everyone else. It's not conclusively proven and I certainly haven't met one person that's said, "I quit Diet Coke because it's carcinogenic and I feel much better without it because of that!"

Aspartame 'purportedly' is supposed to be the worst thing ever. There are even 'reports' scattered around about negative, cancerous interactions between sodium benzoate and vitamin C.

Of course everything I've said above is flawed with a care-free mentality, but I'd rather not worry about something that hasn't been set in stone. We all only live once, I reckon.

To borrow from BrentEvo's reply to another forum-goer:
