Re: Diet Sodas, Crystal Light

This is just something that made a big difference in my weightloss. I believe it is fully because of my body make-up. I feel many are the same, however.... we are all individuals. If you do not have the cravings for stuff then diet drinks I would think are fine for you.

It was not an easy task for me. I gave up diet drinks like I gave up smoking. Cold turkey.

I am now soda and smoke free for months. And loving it.

It was equally as hard for me to train my taste buds to drinking something else. It can be done. I am proof. I actually really like seltzer water now, when before I HATED it. I am now starting the salt reduction stage of my diet. I'll let you know how that goes as well.

Sorry not so helpful this time.
