hey I just want to mention that diet pop is really really bad for you it has aspartame in it which can do alot of damage including cancer. They put aspartame in RAT poison! I know that for alot of you it means alot less calories but its not a good idea. Try 7-up or something else that doesnt have caffine instead. :)

The best thing to drink is water,I was really surprised that my sister has already lost 8 pds. just from not drinking soda... in fact I think she has started to even like water better ( I can't get her to touch a soda anymore) I am thinking of trying this water hting out for my self but i think i might have to add some lemon to mine for flavor ;) Brandy

That is true but by doing further research and talking to doctors you will find that the only way that the chemical is active is if you drink the soda warm and not cold. Once it is in your stomache the acids deactivate the chemical and you have nothing to worry about. So as long as you drink your soda cold you will be fine. But drinking to much of any kind of soda is still not good for you.

Like, eugh!!! That is so Gross - rat poison? Thnx Heather-you've put me off for life!
Another reason why you shouldn't drink fizzy drinks is coz they puff out ur stomach. So if ur losing weight but not inches around ur belly, cut out ALL fizzy drinks out of ur diet. luv Shell
