Addicted to diet coke

[convictmuscle]

Hey B, how's the water with lemon or lime coming along? I'm down to 1 diet coke a day but still hit the crystal light pretty hard.

I see any problems with sparkling water. I think it tastes awful myself but to each his own.

What's the verdict on just sparkling spring water? No artificial sweeteners or anything added. Just carbonated water. Any issue with it?

Good on you if you can just turn it off like that and go to water. I've tried......nowhere near successful when dieting hard. Clean bulk......not so bad......single digit BF, so hard. Maybe I just need to man the f@#$ up and try harder.

have you tried the lime or lemon thing? that's what I'm going to do.

it really boils down to this for me. i can post studies all day that diet drinks aren't as bad as people say they are. BUT, is that really a great thing? to prove that something you consume ALL day is "not that bad"? Shouldn't I be drinking something all day long that is not just "not that bad" but actually HEALTHY for me!? One thing you will not find a single study on is that diet drinks have actual health benefits. I can't justify my argument for diet drinks any longer. They may not be as bad as the critics claim but they certainly are not as healthy as water either.

I'm with B on the sugar free gum. I chew that stuff like crazy! During work hours I'm constantly chewing on some.

Fuck it. You are right. I'm done with all that artificial shit. Water with lemon or lime only from now on.

Nah I've always used diet drinks. There was never a time when I didn't. But I can't justify them being "better than water" so fuck it.

I was drink at least a gallon of diet drinks a day when I was down to 6% bf. Helps me when you have to eat extremely strict. Only thing I won't give up it sugar free gum. Need it to keep me from going crazy.

[rado]

Fuck it. You are right. I'm done with all that artificial shit. Water with lemon or lime only from now on.

You're gonna like it bro. ...add a few half limes to a gallon water, if needing sugar, add honey...put in fridge for a day and you've got some good tasty water.

I remember there was a time many galaxies ago where you'd look down upon a bitch if they drank the garbage you drink....brah, :slap: don't let Ricky Ricardo come wake your ass up:woot:
