All right I have one more question. If you drink diet pop like diet mountain dew, diet pepsi, ect. does that still count as sweets or should I just stop drinking pop all together? Thanks

well- just because it has no calories doesn't mean you should drink as much as you want because it still has loads of sodium in it that will make you retain a lot of water...

Hey there! Well heres my story on that! I used to be in LOVE lyke literally with Pepsi...I thought it would be impossible to give it up! I drank it all the time, and I never barely drank water. Water is essential you need it if you want to lose weight. I came up with this plan where I wasn't going to drink water all week except for on Fridays and Saturdays...At the beginning it was hard but got easier..By the 2nd week I was doing great and then by the weekend when I had a drink of pop I thought it tasted gross and I didn't like the taste cause I was so used to water! So I think that if you start drinking water a lot and cut off pop all together you just might grow out of the taste of pop and get sick of it like i did! Good Luck! *MARIE*

hey. i used to be the ULTIMATE soda drinker. i would have like 3-5 sprites a day. i realized how much weight i was gaining so i cut back to diet sodas. i didnt gain anymore, but i didnt lose. so i cut off all sodas. now im finally starting to lose. but if u absolutely cant give up the sodas(and trust me, i feel your pain lol) then stick do diet, uncarbonated drinks. Dietrite sodas are not too bad and they come in really great flavors. good luck! -hillary

Diet soda causes cancer so thats a bad idea. The doctor todl me i need to loose like 50 pounds and told me not to drink sweets like soda and juice. However, lol all of us have the craving for a sweet drink... so i drink a glass of orange juice, fruit2O, or 2 percent chocolate milk. Remember your not only trying to loose weight but trying to eat and drink healthly and soda is not healthy.
